WuFuYuan Boba Tapioca Pearls, Black Sugar Flavor, Ready to Cook in 5 Minutes or Microwave in 3 Minutes, 8.8 oz. (Single Pack)

Moved to rural America and I really miss bubble tea. I tried another boba pearl over a year ago and was not impressed. I decided to try this product and it is exactly what I was looking for. Just like the boba in the bubble tea I used to get in Chi-town. I highly recommend this. Easy and fast to prepare and it is great in my bubble tea beverage.

The best boba! Better than some boba shops.

I bought this product because I LOVE boba, but bubble tea from my local shop is around $5.50 per cup. At the mall, it's around $9.00. This bag has around 5 servings for $5.00. That's a steal! The cost is around a dollar for every 1/3 cup.The bobas take around 5-10 minutes to cook depending on the temperature of your stove. If you follow the directions, (10 cups water per 1 cup boba pearls, let water boil and pour pearls in, then let bubbles float to the top and simmer to soften the pearls,) the bobas come out perfectly. I recommend adding brown sugar or honey to sweeten the pearls. They taste great served hot or cold. I like to have them with a smoothie or hot tea or coffee.Overall, these pearls are the bang for your buck! I have tried other brands such as 'Buddha Bubbles', however they are more expensive and have a different taste than those from the shop. These inexpensive, great flavor bobas are the best. I definitely recommend.EDIT:I noticed that the price of these had risen to 8.99, (now they are back to 5.99) and wanted to see if I could find a brand with a better price but similar pearls. I ended up trying E-Fa's Rainbow tapioca pearls and they were AMAZING!The E-Fa Rainbow tapioca pearls were 11.55 for a 2.2 pound bag of tapioca pearls (compare to WufuYaun 5.99 for 8 ounces.) I will list the pros and cons for each brand.WufuYaun:The WufuYaun pearls are the perfect size and most likely what your used to. These pearls taste exactly like boba pearls from the tea shop. There texture is more chewy than comparable pearls. Keep this is mind as some people prefer other textures. Though the pearls themselves are great, they are more expensive than E-Fa tapioca pearls.E-Fa Tapioca Pearls:These pearls are great! They are a bit smaller than the WufuYaun tapioca pearls, however they fit perfectly for any/all buble tea drinks. I personally like these flavour better. They are sweeter than the pearls from WufuYaun. I find the WufuYaun tapioca pearls stay soft for a longer time. These bobas are much better, however price wise. For a 11.50 you can get 2.2 pounds of great tasting boba pearls. I like these pearls the best, mainly because they are a cheaper option. However, WufuYaun pearls are great, too.

These are 4 out of 5 in comparison to how they taste straight from actual boba tea! They are soft and chewy but there is absolutely no flavor. I’ve read people saying to add sugar to the water as you boil but I didn’t notice a difference. As for now, these are going to be my go to for adding little treats to my drinks!The directions say to add 10 cups of water to 1 cup of pearls. If makes A LOT of pearls. From now on I will be adding 5 cups of water to a half cup of pearls. You probably won’t need a whole cup. If you follow the directions, you’ll get only 2 uses from one package of pearls. I’d recommend breaking them up, by 5 cups of water to a half cup of pearls.

Super easy to make. I brought to a boil 2 cups of water then added 1/4 cup of tapioca. When it surfaced, I covered the pot and cooked for 3 minutes on medium flame. After the 3 minutes, I turned off the stove and left the pot alone so the tapioca can simmer for another 3 minutes. Once that was done, I dumped the tapioca into a bowl full of cold water (I added 3 ice cubes) and let it sit for 20 -25 seconds. Took it out of the water and into a bowl with brown sugar. Mixed the tapioca and brown sugar thoroughly and finally added it to my taro drink.How to make the drink:Pour HALF of a 1/4 measuring cup of Taro powder into a glass cup and mix it with 2oz hot water, (mix until powder is dissolved) add 7 oz ice cubes [1 .5 cup] stir well, add 2 oz of FRENCH VANILLA CREAMER (you can adjust to your liking) and stir.... finally… add brown sugar tapioca into your drink and you're done!! Delicious. 😋

I dont know about these maybe I made them incorrectly but to me they were bleh. Taste was not that great but maybe if you know what your doing these will be great for you.

After, I had tried a Boba tea I decided that I wanted to try to make Boba tea at home so a few years ago I ordered this product and didn’t realize that you have to cook it and or boil it and then other things however I thought that they just came in the bag and then like you just put them in your Slushy tea like they do at the restaurant and then you are good to go but not how these work. So I actually never use them and cannot give a review. I can only tell you what happened to me so if you know your Boba, lol then you’ll know what I’m talking about and if I could’ve got these to work, I think they would’ve been awesome so anyways that’s what I have to say about this product. Thanks
