Review: My favorite boba brand I’ve tried most of the instant boba pearls on the market and like this brand the best. It’s easy to cook in microwave oven (30 sec in my case) and has great brown sugar flavor. Chewy texture is very close to store bought boba. Note: you will need to have your own tea ready because this product is tapioca boba pearls only, not a kit. Review: I have tried several brands of instant boba, most come with powdered tea mix which I'm not a fan of as I'd rather brew my own tea, and also a lot only come in packs of 5 or 6 so I was excited to find this pack of 12 just boba. I also have cooked my own boba the long boiling way and was excited to see a faster singlw-serve option hit the market recentt. These boba are a nice size close to what you get in a bubble tea shop (some others have very small pearls) and I've found I need to microwave them for 30 seconds in my 1000W microwave for them to be perfect. The first time I made them following the instructions they were inconsistently cooked and about half were still chalky in the middle so I rinsed them off and put them back in for a bit longer, ever since I've done 30sec and they've been perfect every time. They are the perfect amount of chewiness once they've been added to an iced drink and sit for a few minutes compared to other brands which tend to stay very mushy. They also have a good brown sugar flavor that has permeated the boba vs some others that taste very bland. Overall, I'm very pleased with these, my only criticism is I wish there were maybe more boba per pack (maybe 75g?) and the price, while ok, is still a bit steep at $1.75 each for the 12 pack. If the 60 pack is ever available I hope it's a great value per pack since with multiple family members enjoying boba drinks at home, a 12 pack doesn't last long. ## Features - GREAT VALUE - With 12 servings included, you can add boba balls to jasmine tea, matcha tea, Thai tea etc. or as extra toppings to boba milk tea and chew boba pearls as much as you want. - CONVENIENT AND KID-FRIENDLY - It only takes 25 seconds to microwave the silly instant packet (fit to your liking). What an easy way to make silly tea with your kids or teens and have fun together! - RICH FLAVORS - Unlike dried boba tea pearls that don't have much flavor, our boba is soaked in brown sugar syrup for full flavors. Try it and you'll love the difference! - FREE OF CONSERVATIVES, GLUTEN, OR FRUTOS CORN SYRUP - Made with selected ingredients in Taiwan for authentic taste and taste, you will enjoy our bubble tea pearls with peace of mind. Vegan and Halal Certified as well. - AVAILABLE BY POPULAR DEMAND - Fans love the brown sugar boba in our boba instant tea kit and boba topping trio kit, so we decided to make it available individually. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09N8K66BB | | ASIN | B09N8K66BB | | Best Sellers Rank | #83,331 in Grocery ( See Top 100 in Grocery ) #71 in Bubble Tea Tapioca Pearls | | Brand Name | Boba Fide | | Container Type | can | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (444) | | Customer reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (444) | | Diet Type | Halal | | Flavor | rich | | Item Weight | 600 Grams | | Manufacturer | Bona Fide Trading LLC | | Manufacturer | Bona Fide Trading LLC | | Manufacturer reference | BF4:1 | | Number of Items | 12 | | Number of Pieces | 12 | | Product Dimensions | 10.41 x 11.18 x 17.02 cm; 600 g | | Size | 12 porções | | UPC | 850037981007 | | Unit Count | 21.2 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Boba Fide - **Diet type:** Halal - **Flavour:** rich - **Number of Items:** 12 - **Package information:** can ## Images ![Boba Tapioca Instant Pearls with Brown Sugar, 12 Packs of Black Microwaves Tapioca Pearls for Boba Bubble Tea, Ready in 25 Seconds, No Corn Syrup, Preservant - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81r9A9HDc8L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it have tea?** A: No it is strictly the cooked boba pearls. Very good and very easy to use. I make a black tea and add taro flavor and drop in the pearls after I heat them up. **Q: Fyi, u got the cost per ounce wrong on the 60 pack?** A: Thank you for pointing it out. The correct price per ounce is $0.81. **Q: does the brown sugar taste like in the bubble shop, is it semi firm but squishy or is it hard?** A: Thank you for the questions. Depending on personal preferences, you may adjust the chewiness by increasing or decreasing heating time. We recommend 20 seconds in a 1200w microwave oven. We do have restaurants buying our brown sugar and honey boba pearls for their beverage menu. Please let us know if you have any other questions. **Q: Do you store these in the freezer?** A: No, they don’t need to be stored in the freezer. They can be stored at room temperature. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***U on 12 December 2025* My favorite boba brand I’ve tried most of the instant boba pearls on the market and like this brand the best.

Made me think they were expired or something. ## Frequently Bought Together - BOBA FIDE Instant Brown Sugar Boba Tapioca Pearls, 12 Packets of Microwavable Black Tapioca Pearls for Boba Bubble Tea, Ready in 25 Seconds, No Corn Syrup, Preservatives & Gluten Free, Vegan - Angel Specialty Products Matcha Green Tea Blended Crème Mix [3 LB] - Fusion Select 2.2lb Brown Sugar Milk Tea Powder Flavored-3-in-1 Drink Powder with Cream & Sugar - Instant Pre-Mixed Beverage for Hot or Cold Blends or Yummy Frappes --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/690444299-boba-tapioca-instant-pearls-with-brown-sugar-12-packs-black](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/690444299-boba-tapioca-instant-pearls-with-brown-sugar-12-packs-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
