What is the CHOICE score?

CHOICE score

For our taste test we asked shoppers at Top Ryde Shopping Centre in NSW to try a selection of 21 bubble tea samples and then vote for their favourite. We had about 15 public taste testers test each sample. We also enlisted CHOICE staff to take part in an additional taste test.

The CHOICE score is based on the taste test results (80%), nutrition score (Health Star Rating, 10%), and ease of preparation score (10%).
