The story of The Inspire Food Company started back in 2011 when the bubble tea business in Europe was starting to bloom. We thought -- "Let’s start our very own bubble tea shop!" After 12 months of planning and preparing to launch our first shop in the summer of 2012, we noticed, while operating it, the following challenges:
- Quality issues and inconsistencies of the ingredients
- Questionable business etiquette and suspicious dealings from suppliers
Right there and then we decided that we wanted to make a difference!
Our goal became to offer the highest quality bubble tea ingredients to other bubble tea shop owners like us - who were struggling with what was available on the market at the time.
After a couple years of perfecting our operations, we became the largest distributor of high-quality bubble tea supplies in Europe for wholesale and resale customers.
Now with a Fully Established US Presence, we are exited to further grow in the North American market. We utilize the highest standards as well in the US, separating ourselves from competitors through superior product quality, packaging, service, and support to help local businesses grow.
WHAT SETS US APART?
We only work with partners that share our values of distributing honest and responsible products. Our standards are untouched when it comes to the composition of the product’s ingredients, production processes, plant audits, and complying with the strictest US & EU food and drug laws and regulations.
The Inspire Food Company also has achieved IFS (International Featured Standards) Certification, which requires stringent requirements of trainings, audits, and product tests. We are one of the only companies in the industry certified to these elite standards, allowing us full distribution to supermarkets and acceptance in all global markets.
