US Boba Co Unsweetened Tapioca Pearl, Easy to Cook, Tapioca Boba Balls for Tea Milk, Coffee & Dessert Topping, Fresh Made in USA, Brown Sugar Flavor, 1 Pound (Pack of 2)

These bobba are EXACTLY what you get at the tea shops. The quick 5-minute bobba sold from other vendors are close, but not the same as the shops but this is 100% it! Takes about 45 mins to make, but well worth the wait. Make sure to pour out on a flat surface and remove broken bobba before cooking - also ONLY ADD TO BOILING WATER! If you add to water less then boiling they instantly crumble into mush.TOP NOTCH CUSTOMER SERVICE!! I purchased these and got two factory sealed bags, however the experation date was only about 30 days in the future. After opening, about 20% of the balls were falling apart. Reached out to manufacture and returned for a replacement with a much more recent manufacture date.

I spent probably 2 hours deciding which boba to buy and I’m SO happy I went with this one!For delivery: Mine came air vacuumed, heavily bubble wrapped, in a tough box. Not dent or bump on it. Plus it came with a note saying it is fragile and if it was damaged to let them know and they will replace it!For preparing: It’s amazing if you follow instructions. Here’s my detailed advice for perfect boba:Make sure to boil enough water and make sure it’s a heavy rolling boil. Make sure to use a bigger pot because you want it hot so a lot of the water boils out. Carefully get it out of the package and add it in.THEY DO EXPAND. Don’t add too much or you’ll waste some- my first attempt I did enough for 5 people to be have almost too much.Add in little by little. (I do it with a spoon). Stir!! I set my Alexa timer and stir every 3-5 minutes- make sure they don’t stick. The initial one when you put it in stops them from clumping. Sometimes I boil it an extra 2-3 minutes. One last stir.Cover. Like rice- you don’t want to let the heat or steam escape. Stir good, cover, then remove from heat. Set another timer 25-30 minutes. Leave it alone.Put in a small strainer. Rinse with cold water until the gel it creates is gone. Rinse for 1-2 minutes while swooshing it in circles. I use my sprayer to get it a little harder and speed it up.They are not sweet. If you want to add some sweetness to it and make them even softer keep going.Rinse your pan well and wipe it out. Add it cool water and dissolve sugar in it. I add it a good amount (think koolaid) because it needs it to absorb the flavor. Add your boba back in. Lit sit for 30 minutes to an hour depending your taste.I make chai at this point (I found some instant vanilla chai that is amazing with it - big train vanilla chai- stir it well with milk; still looking for other flavors)Once the time is up you add it in with a spoon and make sure to drain out the sugar water.Add in your boba straw and your set.It takes a while and we don’t always do the second soak but I add some time to the first one then.TLDR; don’t rush, treat it like rice with the resting it after. A second soak in sugar water makes it sweeter and softer!

These bubbles cook to become a uniform mass of jelly, not separate bubbles. Stay away. False advertising. I tried with the instant pot and took 30 min to clean my instant pot after that. You must cook in a pot but even then — the bag is full of dust (broken up bubbles)There are so many good reviews, so I guess there are batches that work. Both bags I got failed to cook as separate boba and were clumps of glued together pieces.Quality - very inconsistent. Stay away.

It is good and chewy. I like to make it. Easy to do, just time consuming but that's fresh boba for ya.

Some batches from this brand are bad. This is my fifth bags now, the first bag is great, I love it. The second and third bags don’t stay in the ball shape when you cook them. I even dropped them in boiling water and they still bind together and don’t stay in shape. I am disappointed they’re not the same quality as my first bag. What I ended up having to do is to separate them by hands after cooking. However, the customer service is great. I reached out to the seller about the issue, and they sent me a replacement that is the same quality as the first bag. Yummy

Delisishish!! they are soo good and the consistency is just like the one you would get in a store! They do definitely need to be sweetened because they have no sweetness what so ever! They do take a while to cook but they are very awarding in the end.

I ordered a double pack and one package had lost its airtight vacuum, and there was condensation inside. So far, not thrilled with these, but they don’t use cornstarch or corn syrup. That is a must for me

I have tried several other boba pearls and these are by far the best. They cook up perfectly and have a great flavour as well.
