Quick Cook REAL Tapioca Black (Brown Sugar) Boba Pearls By Buddha Bubbles Boba 10 Ounces (283 Grams)

Good

These actually cook up in about five minutes boiling on the stove top. I just add a spoonful to the boiling water and set the timer. I've discovered that I like just a little boba in my drinks, so one or two regular spoons is my sweet spot.I was buying the much larger one pound bags of another brand and using those, but they were going bad before I got through them (yes even leaving them in the freezer. After several months they were tasting like ammonia.) I decided to take a risk on these ones since I didn't want another big bag I would only eat a quarter of. I'm very happy with them. I put them in the fridge as soon as I opened them and these cook up much faster and softer than the other brand I was using. Not entirely sure about the flavor because I put them hot in a small bowl with a spoonful of brown sugar to wait while I make the rest of my drink, but I like the texture and the flavor comes out how I like it.Price per weight there are cheaper options for more product, but I'm very happy with the quality on these bobba. And personally I'm happy with the smaller package, because I feel like I won't waste as much since this is a every once in a while treat instead of an every day thing. I will be ordering more when I get through the bag I bought.

These are not bad for what they are, but dont taste or feel as good as the 30 min cook ones. These are like the fast food version, not as soft or chewy, but can pass for a at-home version.

Got this for me and my 10 year old who love boba but can't justify a $7 drink. Got this plus the thai tea drink mix and I'm stoked. It tastes great and the texture is perfect as long as you don't cook them too long. Fallow directions and use a timer. 😅

Honesty, I bought this and never opened it …. But it was well packaged, came fast and looked as advertised

These tasted just like dark (molasses?) Boba I've had before.Here's how I prepared them in the microwave based on what I read from other reviews. Measurements and times based on my experience in my ~900 watt microwave. Feel free to adjust.1.) 1/4 cup boba pearls per person or per drink, stirred in cold water, drained, and rinsed like this 3 times.2.) In a large 3 cup Pyrex / glass microwaveable measuring cup, I boil 2 cups of water. (Just water at this point.). For me, it's 5 minutes in the microwave in high to get the water boiling.3.) Dump the rinsed boba pearls into the very hot water and stir.4.) Return to the microwave for a minute on high to get the water boiling again.5.) Continue cooking in the microwave on 10% power for 4 minutes. This gives a total cook time of about 5 minutes, but once the water is boiling you don't need very much power to keep it hot.6.) Drain, carefully. I use a large soon 6 to keep the balls in the glass measuring cup.7.) A spoonful of sugary flavorful syrup per 1/4 cup of balls you originally put in and a little bit of water to just cover the surface of the balls, and stir. Let them cool a little while you make your drink. You can put them in the fridge for use the same day, but the longer they go in the fridge, the chewier and rubberier they get. So, it's up to you to use them sooner rather than later.Ideas for the syrup used to flavor them: honey, real maple syrup, any kind of flavored syrup you'd use in coffee or tea (Like the Monin Syrups for example,) make your own simple syrup, a melted popsicle, or even a little Kool-Aid.I found this method to be very easy and these boba pearls very good. I would but them again.

I must not have read the description close enough, I thought I was buying popping bobba pearls. You have to cook these and then they have a rubbery weird texture when you try to eat them. I also did not enjoy the flavor. I guess if you wanted rubbery gross balls in your drink, this might be your thing.

Boba pearls are super delicious and easy to make. I make them in the microwave and it takes only 5 min. I had previously bought some boba pearls at the local asian supermarket but these are MUCH better. I will definitely order the 1kg bag next.
