Product Description
3 bags at 300 g (2 lbs) approximately 20-30 servings This smaller size is perfect for home use. Tapioca pearls are about the size of small marbles and have a distinctively chewy texture. The texture is very similar to Japanese mochi or gummy bears. If you can cook pasta, rice or ramen noodles then you can definitely cook these tapioca pearls. Tapioca is the foundation for a bubble tea drink. It is the first thing that customers will judge. Think about it. When most people buy a bubble tea the first thing they do is see how much tapioca was given and if they feel the business is being skimpy. Next they will sip the drink and check the texture of the tapioca. These are the questions that the customers think about... "Is it chewy?" "Is it hard?" "Is it chewy on the outside and hard on the inside?" "Is it not chewy at all?" A perfectly chewy and lightly sweetened tapioca pearl is essential for these customers to buy again. This is sometimes overlooked by businesses. Bu

Delicious in most iced drinks, a little tricky to make, worth the effort
July 9, 2007
If you follow the instructions on cooking boba/tapioca/bubble tea, the consistency and taste is amazing. The only downside is that the pearls tend to crumble in the bag and are generally fragile before they begin to cook and darken. Also, if the water is not hot enough in the beginning, you get the same problem of the pearls dissolving and things getting a bit messy and/or sticky. If you are patient and dedicated, these are the best choice, but if you want a simpler alternative, try the black minute pearls instead. Less delicate, easy to make, and just as tasty in the end, they are a lovely alternative. It's your choice, though. Either way, boba/tapioca pearls are a deliciously addictive addition to most iced drinks, especially milk teas, but also quite a few juices.

I liked the taste and texture. However, one of my packages arrived with the vaccuum broken and the balls had turned to complete dust. I wrote to customer support, but have yet to hear from them.
You have to boil the balls for 30 minutes, covered, let them sit for another 25 minutes, still covered, then rinse them in cold water. Then you coat them in sugar syrup, which you make by simmering equal parts of sugar and water.

Good taste! But buy flavored Boba Tea powder too if you want to make decent boba tea

I cooked this product last night and even though I muddled the directions a little bit, the boba tasted pretty good. You get a good deal for the price.
RECOMMENDED COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:
- Boil water in pot with lid
- Pour some of the boba in (the amount you plan to use, since leaving boba unused for long makes the boba stick together and not as appetizing)
- Put lid on pot and cook boba at MEDIUM HEAT for 15 minutes
- Turn off the gas and let boba sit for a couple of minutes
- Drain the water from the boba
- Run boba under cool water for about a minute, then drain again.
- Mix honey, sugar, or sugar substitute (ex: Splenda) with boba
- Let it cool
My number one tip for ANYONE buying boba is to buy the boba tea power too! That's what makes boba tea taste so good. Trying to make your own at home (like I did) will probably result in disappointment.

strange looking pearls
These bobba pearls are odd. Here is why. The bag comes airtight, making the product look small. Once opened the air returns and the product returns to a normal size. Read more

mushy and long cooktime
So I ordered this twice and used it all. They take a good 20 minutes to cook and want to clump/sticky as they sit after cooking. Taste is good. Read more

Has a weird smell to it
The tapioca pearls may have been sitting around for a while. When I opened the package it had a weird smell. Not sure if i should use or dump it out.

Rip off
These are so small compared to the other boba I've boughten. It like going from a 42' inch tv to a 10' inch tv. It's to small and I don't like it. Read more

Awesome Product
Moving to Michigan from California made it hard to find any boba/bubble tea places, the closest one is an hour and a half from me in Canada and so ordering this product was a must. Read more

Not what I expected
They were easy to make, but I did not like the taste of them at all, even after putting them in a simple syrup, agave, honey, etc.
