WuFuYuan Boba Tapioca Pearls, Black Sugar Flavor, Quick Cook Bubble Tea Boba, Microwave Ready in 3 Minutes, 8.8 oz (3 Packs)

Best Boba pearls I found on the market. They’re super easy to make, don’t be deceived by knowing that you have to cook them. The flavor is great, and overall, it’s the closest I’ve found to the Boba you find in shops!

UPDATE: I found some suggested microwaving instructions online and after some experimentation, highly recommend that over stovetop cooking for the unbeatable convenience factor and for being able to make single fresh servings at a time, since after batch cooking and refrigerating, the boba that had to be broken apart was never as good as when fresh. My microwave is 1000 watts. I use a 2-cup glass measuring cup, pour a little more than a single layer of boba across the bottom, then fill with water up to the 3/4 cup line. Heat in the microwave for 2 minutes. Take it out, add a little more water up to the 1 cup line. Return to the microwave and heat another 1:10. Let stand for a few minutes. Then pour the contents out into a small strainer held over a sink, dump the boba into your tea, and voila! Easy, fresh boba every time. I can't describe how much this has elevated the level of my homemade boba tea drinks. Some tips. I wouldn't try to use a smaller container than 2 cups, as the water bubbles quite high and vigorously during heating. Also don't make the mistake of heating the boba too many minutes, thinking that longer time will only make them softer. At some point overheating will actually harden the boba into little rocks. Ask me how I know. So if the boba are not soft enough after the above instructions, definitely try either small incremental increases to the heating times, or letting the boba rest in the hot water for longer time after heating, before straining and adding to cold tea. ORIGINAL REVIEW: WuFuYuan boba packages are by far the most convenient way to make tasty homemade boba tea at home. The quick-cooking makes them more likely to turn out right (not too hard or too soft), and it's so much cheaper than buying individual drinks at stores. All my local Asian groceries stopped selling these except for one store, and when this item (3-pack) is on sale, the price is comparable to in-store, so I might as well save on gas and get it delivered to my house. I pair it with milk tea prepared from Greenmax Boba Milk Tea Powder (I mix in more than the suggested amount for more flavor/sweetness) which is also available on Amazon, though I get mine in-store as that's noticeably cheaper there. Because I'm lazy and like 1 drink per day, I batch cook all 3 packages one right after the other, and store all the boba, mixed with a good amount of honey, in one tall, circular plastic food container in the refrigerator. Taking the container out of the fridge after it's cooled, all the boba will be stuck together like crazy. I use a spoon to forcefully break off a big chunk of boba, drop it in the bottom of a glass, microwave for about 40 seconds, and then pour cold milk tea on top. I take a big straw, stick it in the boba chunk, and shake it wildly until the boba have all detached from each other and are floating freely again. It's important to cook the boba in a large amount of water such that they won't be too sticky/starchy to separate after microwaving and shaking. I once tried to cook all 3 packages at once in a small pot with not enough water, and let's just say I don't think a hurricane could have separated the boba at that point. One thing to watch out for is that occasionally the packages can get some moisture inside them. They do not have dry/absorbent packs inside. So if you start seeing small water droplets forming, normally on the back side of the package, it's probably time to quickly cook that package, as I doubt the boba will be good for much longer in the presence of moisture.

This is some pretty decent boba. It nice and chewy, just like I like it, no real flavor though. I use it to make my Brown Sugar Boba Teas.

I’ve been making bubble tea at home recently, and these are spot on. They have a nice chew. Great quality at a great price

I love how simple this boba is to prepare. Microwaveable for a quick cook option.

These don't have much flavor, but they are a tasty addition to the pearl drinks I make my daughter. Be it tea or tarot or some other fruit, they complement it nicely. They're simple to prepare once you get the hang of it. I use hot water and a microwave to expedite the process. Otherwise, you have to take some extra time at the stovetop. The are the best quality black tapioca pearls I've used thus far. ~ Kort

I remember having to boil boba pearls whenever I wanted some, so I'm glad there's now a quick microwave option! I usually cook mine for about 5 or so mins to get the level of chewiness I like (plus it's better to overcook boba than to undercook). Also, a couple of the comments were saying the flavor wasn't what they were expecting because they're expecting the boba shop tapioca pearls right out the bag. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO ADD SUGAR (or brown sugar syrup) after cooking! It even says so on the instructions! A tip is that adding more sugar than you think you'll need will make it taste more like the boba shop pearls. Overall though, the product is good and well worth the money. Like, 10 bucks for 3 bags? It's a steal

Makes good boba at home for a fraction of the price. If you're cooking a lot of it: try the rice cooker. Cook for the normal time, but it's an easier clean in my opinion.

I really like these tapioca pearls. They have no flavour but that’s the beauty of them. I can boil them in honey water, maple syrup, water., coffee, syrup, water, and they get a little bit of flavor. Very versatile. I will buy these again. They are absolutely perfect for my needs. You can turn the flavour into anything you like.

Greatest tapioca pearls you can find online. The texture is great and you have complete control over the results, you can make them very chewy or you can cook the a minute more to turn them into a jelly-like texture. The taste is great although it is a little bland and does not taste like black sugar at all, but still it tastes like pure and authentic tapioca with no after taste of chemicals.

Product is rather bland. When you compare how sweet regular Tapioca is, this is very bland almost flavorless.

We live two hours away from our closest boba tea shop. So we bought these in hopes of making our own when the cravings hit. They are easy to make, and are just like the balls we get from a boba tea store. They are a bit of work to make if you just fea like one tea, because the balls don’t keep after preparing they get too soft and an odd consistency. So my daughter and I just make smaller batches. Overall do not regret this purchase at all.
