Allen’s has teamed up with cult bubble tea brand Chatime to offer Aussies a new range of drinks that taste ‘identical’ to its famous lollies.
The line up of limited edition teas (from $8) are inspired by Allen’s Party Mix flavours such as milk bottle, banana, pineapple, red frogs and peaches n cream.
Sasha Tyers, a nutritional student from Melbourne, couldn’t wait to try the bubble teas which launched on the 17th of September and she shared her review online.
‘Today we are trying the new drink from Allen’s collaboration with Chatime, so I got the milk bottle drink and the regular pineapple green tea,’ she said in a video.
After a few sips of the pineapple-lolly inspired beverage, Sasha’s eyes lit up with delight as she couldn’t believe how closely the tea matched the taste of the iconic treat.
‘There’s no way. That tastes identical to an Allen’s pineapple lolly,’ she said.
‘There’s like jelly in here and coconut and the jelly tastes so much like an Allen’s.’
The impressed Allen’s fan gave the ‘delicious’ pineapple green tea, which she said is also available in a black tea base, a near perfect 9.8 out of ten.

Sasha was ‘super intrigued’ to try the milk bottle flavoured bubble tea with tapioca pearls and opted to have hers with oat milk.
‘This one is so delicious, it tastes like a vanilla frappe with tapioca at the bottom, it is so good but does not taste as similar to the Allen’s lolly as the pineapple did,’ she said.
She still gave the drink a solid 9.5 for flavour.
Thousands of Aussies were excited about the surprisingly new collaboration.
‘I wish I lived near a Chatime because I’ll be running not walking to try these,’ one said.
‘The pineapple one is so good,’ another added.
The teas are available exclusively at Chatime and Melanie Chen, Nestlé Head of Marketing, encouraged Aussies to sample them while they still could.
‘It’s not every day you get to experience your favourite lollies as a drink,’ she said.
This isn’t the first time that Allen’s have paired up to offer lolly lovers a new way of enjoying their popular flavours.
The confectionary giant previously teamed up with Dusk to released a range of candy inspired bath bombs, candles, room sprays and fragrant oils.
Dusk Chief Marketing Officer Jeremy Taylor was excited to be stocking the new line.
‘Our Dusk x Allen’s products have been crafted by our fragrance experts to smell just like the real thing – they’re incredibly inedibly,’ he said.
