It might be premature to say there’s a full-blown food truck revolution underway—but these mobile kitchens are definitely growing in popularity.

They’ve even inspired shows like Food Network’s

The Great Food Truck Race
, which recently launched its second season.

These aren’t your typical “roach coach” trucks. While some old-school versions still exist, many modern food trucks are embracing the growing interest in high-quality, creative street food.

So where does tea fit into all of this?

While a truck devoted solely to tea might face some challenges, combining tea with food and presenting it creatively could be a winning idea. There are already a few tea-focused trucks out there proving the concept.

The owners of the

Melange Tea Cart
describe themselves as “the first, only, and probably best mobile tea cart in the land.” Based in Philadelphia, this husband-and-wife team launched their business with a focus on encouraging people to enjoy tea as part of a healthier lifestyle.

Across the Atlantic,

Couple of Mugs
teamed up with tea brand teapigs to bring tea directly to events through their vintage 1970 Citroën HZ van, affectionately named “Cédric.” Their mission is to create a memorable, high-quality tea experience on the go.

If you’re looking for something a bit less traditional, bubble tea trucks offer a fun alternative. Bubble tea is a flavored iced tea drink that includes chewy tapioca pearls.

Some notable bubble tea trucks include:

• 
  The Boba Truck
  — A Southern California-based truck known as one of the first gourmet boba tea bars on wheels
• 
  Tea.zing Bubble Tea Truck
  — Serving the Monterey, California area
• 
  The Mighty Boba Truck
  — Offering a mix of tea drinks and Taiwanese street food in Southern California

Whether traditional or modern, tea continues to find new and creative ways to reach people—even on wheels.
