Best Bubble Tea Tapioca Pearls of 2025

"I started making my own Boba Tea at home. These have a good flavor. I followed the directions, but the pearls were a bit firmer than expected even after cooking."

"I was a little worried about making these since I saw mixed reviews. I followed the package directions, and they tasted just like the $8 boba drinks I usually buy. I whipped up a simple syrup with brown sugar to sweeten them, but I would let them soak longer next time for more sweetness. Overall, still loved it!"

"We decided to try making fruity bubble tea at home. They are fast to make and taste delicious. Yes, it's a bit expensive, but considering how much I spend on bubble tea, it’s definitely worth it in the end."

"These strawberry boba pearls were a hit! The pearls are just the right size and burst with a delicious strawberry flavor. They add a fun twist to my bubble tea, and the 2 LB pack is a fantastic value!"

"I've become totally obsessed with popping boba! I discovered I could buy it on Amazon, so I ordered 4 flavors from two different brands. After trying them all, peach was the favorite for my kids and me. I did notice the lids tend to leak a bit when opened, so I recommend transferring them to a better-sealed container."

"I initially ordered these because I loved the popping pearl drink at Starbucks. While the texture is spot on, I found the flavor a bit strong for my taste. I was hoping for raspberry ones, but they seem hard to find in smaller sizes."

"As someone who struggles in the kitchen, I was thrilled to make my first sugar-free bubble tea using this product. The tapioca pearls cooked perfectly, with a delicious chewy texture that rivaled any bubble tea café. I can now enjoy bubble tea anytime without the high prices!"

"I really love this E-FA BRAND Boba! It has a nice chewy texture that complements any drink. It's super quick to cook, and I can make individual servings whenever I want. I will definitely purchase it again!"

"After trying various boba pearls, I found these to be perfect! They have a fresh flavor and cook quickly. I made a matcha boba drink with honey, and it turned out delicious. Plus, the quantity in the bag ensures I can enjoy a lot of boba tea!"

"I found it very easy to make! I love adding it to my drinks, and my kids adore it. I'll definitely buy it again!"

"When I first tried making bubble tea at home, I didn't realize I had to cook the pearls. I thought they were ready to use straight from the bag. I never used them because I wasn't prepared, but I believe they would have been awesome if I had."

"This product has saved me a fortune on bubble tea! It's easy to cook, and I usually get about 6 to 7 drinks from one bag, depending on how many bubbles I add to each drink."

"These black tapioca pearls are a fantastic find! I can enjoy fresh pearls in less than 20 minutes—just 5 minutes to cook and 15 minutes to soak up brown sugar or sweetener. I store them in an airtight container to use within a couple of days or in the freezer for longer storage. Living over an hour away from a boba shop, making my own at home has been a great alternative. I've repurchased these pearls multiple times due to their quality, price, taste, and ease of preparation. Highly recommend for any boba lover! I'll definitely keep purchasing these."

"I really love this tapioca! It's quick and easy to make, and it tastes great. If you want them sweeter, just add a bit of sugar, but otherwise, they taste really good!"

"I started with the negative aspects that kept this from being a 5-star review. I noticed the tapioca pearl package sometimes arrives with air in it instead of being vacuum sealed, which can affect freshness. However, I've reordered these twice, and this happened only once. The other downside is that they can mold if stored in an airtight container on the counter, so I recommend making boba often or freezing them. Despite these minor issues, they boil in under 5 minutes and have the best flavor and chew consistency. Once you try these at home, you'll never want to settle for store-bought boba again!"

"I love the flavor and enjoyed the first batch. It was so easy to make on the stove, taking just about 5 minutes. However, I found that the 2nd and 3rd batches didn't last as long and turned moldy in my airtight containers. I won't buy this large package again since I realized if I don't use it daily, it just goes to waste."

"This is my favorite brand of boba! The bulk packaging is a better value than multiple bags. I typically prepare it in around 5 minutes. I prefer my boba a little softer, so I follow the directions and cook it for 5 minutes, then leave it another 5 minutes on low heat. It's perfection every time!"

"I've ordered these boba pearls twice now. Despite some reviews about the airtight seal, I decided to give it another shot. The first order was fine, but the seal was broken this time. Thankfully, it wasn't spoiled, and I still love these boba pearls!"

"I’ve found these boba pearls to be the best instant boba I’ve tried so far! They cook consistently, hold their shape well, and have a great texture. I've made over 30 servings and they are very affordable!"

"I absolutely love the WuFuYuan Black Sugar Boba! They cook perfectly in just 5 minutes and look fantastic in my tea. The flavor is rich, and the texture is just right—chewy but not too soft. The 4-pack is perfect for multiple servings!"

"This was my second order, and while the first was perfect, my recent order came with only 1 of 2 boba bags and the packaging was opened. I couldn't return it since it's food, but customer support was helpful and resolved the issue."

"I absolutely loved the taste and texture of the boba! They may lack sweetness, but I don’t mind since my teas are sweetened. Just a heads up, these boba are dehydrated and need to be cooked. I usually boil mine in water, and once they float, I let them simmer for about 3-5 minutes. They’re perfect for my teas!"

"I can’t get enough of boba, and after trying some poor-quality brands, I was thrilled with these! They’re great quality and cook evenly, making my homemade boba tea experience so much better!"

"These tapioca pearls are just what I was looking for. They might not have a strong flavor, but that’s actually the beauty of them. I can boil them in honey water, coffee, or syrup for a bit of taste. They’re versatile and absolutely perfect for my needs!"

“I really enjoy these boba! I just started making them at home and wanted a smaller bag for my experiments. They worked so well that I ended up buying a larger size from another brand because I'm a bit frugal. However, if you're just making boba occasionally, I highly recommend these!”

“Preparing these boba on the stove is super easy, and they have a wonderful chewy texture. I love how they take on any flavor, whether it's brown sugar, honey, agave, or just plain. They also hold up well in both hot and cold drinks, making it a fun experience overall!”
