Tapioca pearl is the essential and most popular topping in bubble tea. It often called 'boba', 'bubble', 'black ball' and 'black pearl'. The texture is soft and chewy, which is perfect to go with any drinks. It is recently getting popular for the toppings of cake, shaved iced, ice cream, puffs and tart.

It has to be cooked before serve. It can be consumed with the jumbo sized straws.

Frequently asked questions

How do I cook Tapioca Balls?

Boil 1 part pearls to 6 parts water for 20 minutes, turn off the heat and leave covered for another 20 minutes, then strain, rinse under cold water and mix with brown sugar syrup.

Cooked pearls are best served while freshly cooked — they harden as they sit and the chew is lost.

What is the shelf life, and how should I store it?

Unopened, 12 months from the production date printed on the bag.

Store in a dry, cool place when unopened, and refrigerate once opened. The best-before date is printed on every bag and every carton.

How many drinks can I make from one 3kg bag?

About 100 drinks at 30g of dry pearls per 700ml cup, or 50 drinks at 60g.

Pearls roughly double in weight once cooked, so 30g dry comes out around 60g in the cup. A 6-bag carton (18kg) makes roughly 600 drinks at 30g.

What are the bag and carton specifications?

One bag holds 3kg. One carton holds 6 bags, 18kg in total.
