What is Tanghulu?
Tanghulu has been gaining popularity recently, but what is tanghulu, exactly? In short, it’s a type of candied fruit wrapped in a crispy and sugary glaze, and wouldn’t you know, it goes perfectly with dipping in boba tea and other drinks, too! Gather round for our exciting fruit fiesta at Sharetea, as we combine delicious snacks with even tastier drinks. Find out more below!
Tanghulu – the Latest Food Craze
What is tanghulu? It’s pieces of candied fruit, usually a berry or grape of some kind, glazed in an outer shell coating of sugar, served on a small skewer. This wonderful snack from East Asia has been gaining lots of popularity recently, and we believe the secret lies in the addictive and super satisfying crunchy feeling you get when biting through the glaze.
Since tanghulu is served on a skewer, it also just so happens to be extremely dippable in, say, a refreshing bubble tea or maybe a mojito tea. That’s what’s great about tanghulu – you can make it work with virtually any beverage; the satisfying crispiness just makes everything better.
Now, Sharetea is introducing tanghulu treats for your enjoyment to complement our usual selection of drinks. It’s a great opportunity for you to double dip and try out something new while improving your favorite drinks!
