Boba fans, you’re going to want to pay close attention.

Vancouver’s first Bubble Tea Passport is coming this summer, with several spots around the city offering exclusive, limited-edition treats and drinks just for the occasion.

Organized by the same folks as last year’s Vancouver Croissant Crawl, the Bubble Tea Passport initiative invites boba lovers on a self-guided tour across Vancouver and Metro Vancouver.

Kicking off on August 1 and running until the 14, the passport part of the tour is optional but can be purchased for $6 online or at various locations around the city. While the passport lets you record your tasting notes for each treat, it also lets you in on some sweet deals.
