TL;DR - Excellent for the price, they all stayed in tact during shipping and arrived fast, and the only additional step aside from cooking them is to make a simple syrup mixture for them to absorb some flavor and to sweeten your tea! The instructions say to cook on low once they float to the surface for 5-10 minutes; I did this for the full 10 minutes, uncovered. It then instructed to put the lid on the pan and let them sit for 10 more minutes, but mine were done by the 5 minute mark so I removed them at that point to put in cold water to stop the cooking. I recommend having a small cup with cold water nearby as you’re cooking so you can drop one in to cool it off to check the chewiness as you go. The taste of the tapioca pearls by themselves isn’t really that sweet or flavorful, so I made a simple syrup with 1/2 c white sugar, 1/2 c water, and 3 tablespoons honey, and added my pearls to that mixture after soaking in cold water for a few mins. If you prefer a brown sugar flavor (or if you’re making brown sugar boba tea), you can make the simple syrup with 3/4 c brown sugar and 1 c water instead. I recommend letting them sit in the simple syrup for an hour, but I couldn’t wait so mine were only in there for 15 mins. They have an excellent chew though, which is half the draw to boba tea for me! The simple syrup step should probably be added to the instructions on the package because the pearls without this simple syrup aren’t the best tasting tbh. I made taro boba tea with 1 teaspoon unsweetened taro powder dissolved in 1/2 c black tea, pouring over a cup full of ice, adding a few tablespoons of boba/simple syrup for sweetness, and topped with some lactose free whole milk until it turned medium purple in color. I’ll probably dial back the amount of black tea or try green tea in the future for a lighter flavor. I made my kids a non-caffeinated version by dissolving the taro in hot water (vs tea) and they loved it! Overall highly recommend, easy to make, and the only modification is needing a simple syrup mixture for these little bobas to swim in! Edit: One additional tip — if you make all the boba pearls ahead of time and refrigerate the leftovers in the simple syrup mixture, be sure to do a quick reheat before using! I plucked out however many boba pearls I wanted and put in a microwave safe glass, added enough water just to cover, and microwaved for 30 seconds (until they got the “chew” back). You can then mix any powder you’re using directly in with the warm liquid and bobas to dissolve the powder, and the. top off with ice and milk. Review: Good quality product! Easy to prepare and exactly as you'd expect for flavor and texture! - Quick and easy! Second time purchasing this product and will definitely purchase again!

Easy to prepare and exactly as you'd expect for flavor and texture! *by S***E on February 3, 2026* Quick and easy! Second time purchasing this product and will definitely purchase again! Good quality and great product! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great boba but subtle flavor *by A***R on January 24, 2024* I ordered 2 packs of this boba and neither of the packages were messed up in any way. The boba pearls we luckily not crushed, which I have experienced before with other brands. When I cooked the boba I did it on high for 3-5 mins with the lid on(Make sure that the pearls are floating before starting the timer). They were perfectly chewy but they didn’t have much flavor. I had to soak them in brown sugar syrup which gave it the perfect flavor. I recommend this boba, but just beware that the flavor is unnoticeable. I would also recommend placing the boba in cold water before soaking it in brown sugar syrup.
