Global brands Gong Cha and Häagen-Dazs™ announce a powerhouse partnership to launch a new product category, ‘Bubble Tea Float’ (BTF) series, bringing together what both brands are best known for. Marrying Singapore’s favourite Gong Cha bubble tea drinks with the creamy luxuriousness of expertly crafted Häagen-Dazs™ ice cream, don’t hold back as we invite you to indulge in three new BTF creations.
BTF represents the next level of bubble tea experience, spearheaded by both popular brands well-known for their product quality and innovation. Whilst using ice-cream as a drink-topping option is not new to the market, BTF has gone beyond that by designing specific flavours in line with the theme of Indulgence, Love and Happiness.
Zhaoyong Cheong, Brand Director, Gong Cha, says, “We’re proud and excited to partner with Häagen-Dazs™, an internationally-renowned premium ice cream brand, for these creations. Both teams have been working together on this collaboration for over a year to come up with the various optimal pairings of bubble tea and ice-cream through experimenting and tweaking our drink formulas for the best BTF taste profile. We’re confident that BTF will give a new buzz to the bubble tea market in Singapore and subsequently worldwide, as they bring the next level of drinking experience to our customers.”
Yong Xuan Tay, Brand Spokesperson, General Mills, says, “True to our campaign theme of <Don’t Hold Back’>, we’re thrilled to be partnering with global bubble tea brand, Gong Cha, to create a new experience and elevate the natural pairing of bubble tea with ice cream. We can’t wait for everyone to get their hands on the BTFs, and experience the indulgence, love and happiness we hope to bring to all.”

Rediscover the meaning of indulgence with the Caramel Choc BTF. Centred on the ultimate pairing of sweet and salty, enjoy an impossibly smooth base of Gong Cha’s Rich Chocolate Malt drink, drizzled with swirls of caramel and topped with a dreamy dollop of the fan favourite Häagen-Dazs™ Salted Caramel ice cream. Cutting through the stream of chocolatey goodness, rivers of salted caramel sauce and craters of crunchy caramel pieces create a multi-sensory experience with each sip.
LOVE: Berry-Tea Bliss Bubble Tea Float
