The flavors of coffee and boba come together in the newest non-dairy frozen dessert from Trader Joe's, which boasts a creamy coconut milk base. The Cold Brew Coffee and Boba Coconut Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert boasts a rich base, thanks to coconut milk being the first ingredient, yet Trader Joe's says that "it doesn’t taste even a bit like coconut."
The frozen dessert is full of flavor from Thai-grown Arabica coffee beans and tons of texture from chewy tapioca pearls. The treat is said to taste like a cup of coffee and it awakens the senses with boba that's usually found in specialty tea and coffee shops. The unusual pairing of coffee and boba promises to be a special treat for coffee lovers and bubble tea fans alike.
