Inspire Food Original Tapioca Pearls For Bubble Drink - 1Kg | Premium Chewy Boba Balls For Boba Milk Tea, Ice Coffee, Ice Tea, Slush, Blended Fruit Drinks

This is really good product. Idk if it's the best since I didn't try other products but I'd say this is just like what you'd get at a Boba store so I'd say that it's perfect. Just to save anyone any trouble when they make their own, when you boil your water then pour in your pearls, make sure to start mixing it instantly to avoid the pearls from sticking to one another as easily. Besides that, it's easy to prepare and if you're like me who likes chewing on Boba pearls, then you'll enjoy this product. It's easy to cook too. Just boil water, add pearls to boiling water and mix for a bit every number of minutes until it's a bit translucent. Also this big bag is a good value for money since you're getting way more compared to other products. You're literally getting more for a cheaper price compared to others. At least at the time of me writing this review.

Before purchasing, I noticed some negative reviews, which honestly made me a bit worried. Seeing that it’s a Taiwanese company, I decided to place an order and try one pack first. It’s really not cheap 🥲 Follow my steps and I guarantee you won’t go wrong: 1. When the parcel arrives, do not drop it or squeeze it. The tapioca pearls are very fragile and can easily break. 2. Before opening the pearls, check carefully that the vacuum seal is intact and that there is no mould. If you have any concerns at all, contact customer service. 3. Because the pearls are vacuum-packed, they may stick together. Do not press them with your hands. Hold the top of the bag and gently shake it left and right until the pearls separate one by one. 4. Boil water. I didn’t follow the ratio on the packaging; I used a 1:10 ratio (pearls to water). The more water, the better, to prevent the pearls from sticking to the bottom of the pot. 5. Once the water is fully boiling, add the pearls and give them a stir to stop them from sticking together. 6. I also didn’t follow the cooking time on the packaging. I boiled them for 20 minutes, then let them sit covered for 15 minutes. (If you boiling for 30 mins, no need to let them sit covered) 7. When the time is up, rinse the pearls with cold water. Once they have cooled down, that’s enough. 8. After rinsing, drain the water completely, then add brown sugar and mix well. Let them sit for 5 minutes so the pearls absorb the sugar. 9. Prepare a cup of milk tea and add the pearls. 10. Ta-da! Authentic Taiwanese bubble milk tea is ready.

Absolutely awful tapioca. Do not buy takes to long to cook and goes into moosh. I bought another one which is absolute beautiful cooks in 5 minutes and the consistency and texture is absolutely tasty. Usually I don’t do review but I was so disappointed that not happy with the tapioca at all. I had to put it in the bin. Looks like dog food, even my kids complain. Buy Wu Fu Yuan black tapioca pearls are quick and very nice. Very close to the real ones. They come in a dark red packages a little more money but worth every penny.

the taste was alright, but the consistency left my a bit disappointed. they did not soften up as well as others i have purchased have and tend to stick together which makes them difficult to pass through a straw. I admit i'm new to making boba tea at home, but I was let down by how long I cooked them and still weren't as nice as others.

These tapioca pearls are ideal for bubble tea. Usually cooking it in 10-12 minutes on boiling water is more than good enough. I then rinse it well with cold water using a colander to get rid of excess floating starch. I’ve purchased this more than twice now because it is addicting!

Mine arrived in a good condition, no crushed pearls. But do keep in mind that uncooked pearls are fragile. They're easy to prepare and chewy. I boiled the pearls stirring all the time until they started floating, which didn't take long at all. Then rinsed under cold water and they were ready to serve with sugar syrup and bubble tea. I recommend pouring tapioca pearls from the packaging to measuring cup, rather than picking them with spoon, so they don't get crushed in the process. Also don't store uncooked tapioca in the fridge. Put them in an airtight container and keep in a cupboard, away from source of heat or moisture. I'd definitely buy again!

Good Quality
