Here is a copy of our congratulations letter:

The American Tasting Institute, a division of Quality Institute International www.chefsbest.org is pleased to once again announce Bubble Tea Supply as the 2005 Gold Medal Taste Award winner in the Bubble Tea category for the FOURTH YEAR IN A ROW.

As the Gold Medal Taste Award winner, Bubble Tea Supply's products received the highest rating over all other nationally distributed manufacturers, winning on a range of criteria including appearance, flavor, taste, and texture as judged by the professional chefs of the American Tasting Institute.  The judging was conducted in San Francisco earlier this year by a panel of independent, professional chefs for the American Tasting Institute.  The products were evaluated on a broad range of criteria including appearance, flavor, taste, and texture.  The judging was performed double blind, without brand distinction and conducted in the most efficient and accurate environment.  Bubble Tea Supply's Bubble Tea Mixes and Tapioca products met our stringent standards of distinction and share this 2005 Best Taste Distinction for the entire line.

The American Tasting Institute and the American Culinary Institute are divisions of the Quality Institute International, a private organization committed to honoring the Best of the Best in food, beverage and equipment products.  Founded in 1985, the company has grown into a national organization comprised of 37,000 professional chefs and major food buyers from across North America.  Through this network, they have established a National Board of Chefs who supports their mission of honoring the best products in the marketplace.  Their Gold Medal seal is seen on thousands of food and culinary products defining for consumers what are the best choice for them - Best of the Best.
