Bubble/Boba Tea Kit with Instant Tapioca Pearls and Milk Tea Powders | Makes 8 Drinks | Assorted Classic Flavours include Classic, Matcha, Thai, Vanilla in Individual Sachets | By Moriyama Teahouse

I am a bubbletea fan and tried quite a few in London, UK (areas in chinatown, soho, holborn etc.) and let's be honest a lot of places uses powder to do the tea except the pearls (no comment there).The taste test:It's pretty good, though it's sweet (50% suger level) and you can't change the configuration like you could in the BubbleTea shops. However, you probably can overcome this by adding more hotwater or milk till you reach your liking though the taste does start to get bland as obviously you're not expected to do this.In comparison to most bubbleTea shops it's comparable and I think it does taste somewhat similar I guess the only difference is that I am missing that plastic cup with the giant straw but otherwise it's great.I would rate the taste to be on par with any typical bubble tea shops you go to in London - some people won't know the difference.Price:The price is obviously makes the bubble tea down to £2.50 per cup! - this is relatively cheap and reminds me of the price when bubbletea first hit the market in chinatown, eitherway there's no complaints there.Effort:The work/effort - now this is very opinionated, I chosen the complex route where you boil the water and put the packaging of the pearls into the hot water for about 1.5mins and then you squeeze it out of the packet it does get quite hot and messy here, but it’s somewhat enjoyable as you’re like part of process of making it.*TIP: don't squeeze the balls unless you want some odd shape ones.You need to boil or heat the pearls before hand otherwise you will end up will solid rock pearls in your tea which somewhat resemble when you got bubble tea and put it in the fridge and taking it back out the next day.Packaging/Delivery:I haven't attached any photos because the packaging is exactly how you see it on the pictures. When you make the bubble tea it also resembles exactly what you get from the shops too so no complaints here.Verdict:The packaging is great and nicely presented, the taste resembles the bubble tea shops. This is a great product as a gift or want to try make your own bubble tea just like the shops. If there's anything that would make the experience better is if it came with bubble tea straws and maybe the cups so I can start my own business. Jokes aside, it’s worth it especially if you’re staying in doors and fancy a bubble tea.

This was my 2nd bubble tea making kit and it was superb! This was only one of a few bubble tea making kits with the original flavours and I think that it was worth it. Our whole family was on the vanilla side, but it was only slightly, as all of the flavours were amazing, considering that all of the flavours were shipped halfway across the world! Everything was packaged perfectly and thankfully, arrived perfectly as everything was in the right place! Everything tasted just like it had come out of a boba shop. Overall, This is a 100% recommend for anyone who loves bubble tea!

This was their preferred choice with great flavours and value for money compared to buying at a supermarket

I had a bit of trouble with heating the boba and I will never touch macha again with a 10ft pole but the other flavours were lovely. For the boba it is best to heat it in the microwave with a small cut at the top.

I got This as a gift for my teenage daughter who is obsessed with bubble tea. Over the years my daughter has tried multiple bubble tea places and a number of home kits but this is by far the best! Tastes like the actual real deal and at a fraction of the price. The Thai and vanilla flavours are the best! We will continue to buy this brand as it’s amazing! Highly recommend, great value and good quality!

Really simple instructions and easy to make. I like this kit because the boba just need to be heated and are individually packed to be used when needed. Other brands, you need to cook the boba and then they can only be stored for a few days but I don't drink bubble tea every day so was a bit of a waste. Really like the flavours in this pack tooz will definitely buy again.

Really really tasty and love that there were different flavours to try! Given the price of this it isn’t something I would buy all the time, but I would say great for a treat in the summer

Packaging looks great and fun but the product taste is not the best, the boba do not taste very fresh so don't expect boba like you buy in the market. Fun gift let down by taste and texture.
