Awesome Experience At Lab B – Taiwanese Bubble Tea Festival
Living in New York is a great thing because you always have some fun things to check out. Especially New York is a multi-culture city, which means we can experience and enjoy the different cultures. As you know bubble tea is becoming more and more popular in New York. But do you really know about bubble tea? Do you know where does it come from? Now there is a good opportunity for you to have a better idea about bubble tea!
🍵
Welcome to Taiwanese Bubble Tea Festival – Lab.B. The Taiwanese Collective has teamed up to create Lab B, an immersive, multi-sensory playground that explores Taiwan’s most popular culinary creation – bubble tea! Think of Lab B as part funhouse, part exhibition, and part tea shop, where you can create, play, and learn while sipping on your favorite flavor of bubble tea.
😜
Lulu went to Lab.B this afternoon,
it was a wonderful experience.

First, when you come into the entrance,
you can read a whole knowledge of the history of bubble tea.



And then, cute photos time! Remember to Instagram them~Of course I did!
Now let us start to taste the bubble teas from the most popular five bubble tea stores in New York.

Coco & Bar Pa Tea

Gong Cha & Kiss Tea & Ten Ren’s Tea
Now it is the most excited moment – DIY your own Bubble Tea!


Pick a jar and make your label


So many Toppings & Flavors


Mine is Matcha mixed with Taro
So magical to mix my two favorite flavors together
❤️
You should come to check out this super cute lab, and make your own best flavor of bubble tea! You only have the chance on this Sunday because it only opens for this weekend. But I believe they will have more events coming in the future. If you want to know more, you can check their website: https://bubbletea.nyc/ .

Celebrate Bar Pa Tea One Year Anniversary With Lulu’s Art

To commemorate its first anniversary, Bar Pa Tea is collaborating with artist Yueming Lulu Qu on an art series titled “Celebrate.” Inspired by Bar Pa Tea and its home city, the pieces feature New York’s diverse personalities through its distinct inhabitants and iconic landmarks, unified by their shared penchant for constant reinvention and, of course, bubble tea.

Here are some photos of the One Year Anniversary Celebration Night at July 26th!







ABOUT YUEMING LULU QU
Art, fashion, passion, love, food, multi-cultural melting pot…this is how we often describe our city, no? Our city has millions of stories going on within every block every day. Don’t you agree we are so lucky to live in an amazing city that brings so many inspirations? I do.
Four years ago, I moved from Beijing for graduate study at Fashion Institute of Technology; this accounts for my second MFA – if there were such a thing as a PHD in Illustration I would pursue it. My first was an MFA in traditional Chinese Painting from Central Academy of Fine Arts. For Chinese painting, I use ink, gouache and soft brushes, which I still use in my current illustrations. Similar to how America brings all cultures together, I use traditional Chinese painting methods to illustrate New York City’s modern topics; predominantly fashion lifestyles and our beloved city landscapes. I think of fashion lifestyle as not only about high fashion during certain weeks, but more importantly about anyone who loves their life with a sense of pride. They are positive, they are kind, they are beautiful inside out, they are bravely chasing their dreams, and of course they have their own unique fashion styles.
