Check out the new offering on BaoBao Restaurant‘s menu, Matcha Boba Playing Cards. Produced by Magician Bao Hoang and Illustrated by Angga Tantama, Meko Deng, & Rich Li, the deck is currently seeking funds on Kickstarter.
The eye-pleasing deck sports a pairing of green and cream tones, perfectly capturing the velvety concoction that is matcha milk tea. A lot of thought has gone into the beautiful design and packaging of the bubble tea-inspired design.
The two-way back design captures the process of perfectly whisked matcha poured over your preferred milk base. The chewy boba is covered by a delicately sweetened milk base that’s finally topped off with velvety matcha in metallic light green ink.
The pips for each suit are custom carrying the matcha tea theme from the back design over to the pips. The traditionally red pips are transformed into matcha, and the traditionally black pips follow a dark green matcha-inspired theme. Each and every single pip has a wave-shaped layer of matcha milk tea to fully tie the theme together.
Instead of the traditional ace of spades, the Matcha Boba deck showcases an actual cup of matcha boba with splashes of matcha milk tea around the spade. You’ll never find another ace of spades that makes you crave boba as much as this one!
The courts have been customized and updated with custom-designed faces If you look closely, each and every court card has a different and unique face, while performing a different and unique action!
The deck is packaged in a minimalist design tuck box resembling a cup of boba to actually look like: matcha with the tapioca (bubbles) at the bottom, and milk tea on top. This pairs perfectly with the transparent plastic casing to really give you the experience of holding a cup of boba!
Now onto the most unique feature of this deck: the cup! What do we mean by “cup”? The specially designed plastic casing that comes with each and every deck! This plastic box not only serves as a cup, it also doubles as a protective layer for the more delicate paper box.
The deck is printed by the United States Playing Card Company with Air-Cushion Finish on Bee Casino Grade Paper. Limited to 3500 decks. Pledge starts at $12 on Kickstarter.
