"I am delighted to be finally open. The first day went extremely well and people loved what we were offering them," said Mrs Li.

On its first day of trading, the business offered 50 per cent off its bubble teas.

"My bubble tea is as good as anywhere in the UK, such as Manchester, Liverpool and London.

"Even the experience of poking your straw in and getting your first sip is exciting for everyone who tries it.

"Bubble tea is originally from Taiwan and that is where all my products are imported from."

Mrs Li had been searching for suitable unit in Crewe to open Kawaii Boba Tea for some time.

After speaking to Hong's owner, Simon Shen, the pair came to an agreement of going into partnership.

Kawaii Boba Tea Crewe is open 12pm until 6:30pm (Monday to Friday) and 12pm until 8:30pm (Friday and Saturday) (Ryan Parker).

The business owner said: "I tried to open this shop inside Crewe Market Hall, but they didn't have anything available at the time.

"There were a few different premises around the town centre I looked at, eventually contacting Simon Shen from Hong's.

"He suggested we could go into partnership, with us running the two businesses separately and I thought it would work out well.

"I have always wanted to run my own shop. Growing up, my parents ran a lot of different businesses and worked all the time.

"I didn't get to spend much time with them. I always said I would look after my kids and do my own thing once they had grown up."

Kawaii Boba Tea currently offers three flavours of bubble tea (original, strawberry and taro), which includes one free topping (Nub News).
