WuFuYuan Green Tea Tapioca Pearls 8.8 oz – Boba Ready in 5 Minutes – Chewy Bubble Tea Boba Balls for Milk Tea, Smoothies, and Desserts – Authentic Green Tea Flavor – Quick-Cook Boba Pearls

I've become a little obsessed with bubble tea lately, so I decided to see if I could recreate it at home to cut down on how much I was spending (and make it a little healthier - a lot of cafes use too much sugar or flavor syrup). I didn't like these at first - if you microwave them like the bag says you can, they come out all small and the texture is gross. I don't know if there's enough green tea in these to really mean anything, but I've come to like the way they look when cooked.Here's how to make them right: Add the uncooked pearls to a pot of boiling water and let them boil for about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let it sit for another 10 minutes or so. Drain most of the excess water and add a spoonful of honey, stir until the honey melts. Refrigerate the pearls until you're ready to make the tea. I make mine with a cup of jasmine green tea and some almond milk - there's enough sweetness from the honey mixed with the pearls. Better than store bought!

They are OBSESSED with these boba. I buy the taro flavor and these green tea flavor and they go through them in record time. They're great because they are packed dry, so they can stored in the pantry, but they cook in a fraction of the time of regular tapioca pearls. My teenager can cook these while preparing their tea and be done, start to finish, in 5-10 minutes. Great quality, slightly softer than traditional long-cook pearls, but taste very nice and have a great texture. A million stars (and now I'm here to buy more since they just ran out again).

Not the best flavor. But they are ok.

For the price it did what I needed it to do and that was to look cute on top of my jello shots.I rinsed them before cooking but that did not help with the perfume taste. After following the directions on the pack I soaked them in Triple Sec and it did help a little but not much.I wouldn't buy again due to that weird perfume after taste.

We are boba addicted and this was PERFECT! Easy to make and yummy!

These Boba Perals are TERRIBLE. The texture and is all wrong and they are not silky and chewy like the boba at the Boba Tea Companies. They start off simi-chewy but rapidly harden when they are added to the cold beverage. I've tried numerous variations of the suggested cooking instructions but there is no difference in the final outcome. They have no taste at all. They start off feeling like gel balls with a firm-gelatin core instead of a silky, chewy, bouncy sphere. You can bight right through the freshly cooked boba in one bite and immediately experience the unpleasantness of the firm center. They are also made out of a lot of additives, fillers and preservatives instead of just Tapioca Starch and Water...That's all that should be in a quality Boba Pearl. I bought these based solely on the ratings instead of researching the ingredients and reading the lower ratings. Unfortunately, I purchased the black, green-tea & taro boba all by this same manufacturer and they are ALL TERRIBLE. Also, the packaging is not resealable so you need to store them in a seperate container and each bag ONLY HAS 5 SERVINGS of boba per bag. Do the research, spend a little extra if necessary...THIS BRAND OF BOBA WILL NOT SATISFY YOUR BOBA CRAVINGS.

The media could not be loaded. The texture is perfect if you cook it according to package instructions. Goes perfectly with a Matcha drink!

The only advice I can give is to rinse them off before boiling or you might get a slight flavor reminiscent of sunblock. Let them soak in a simple syrup or honey and you will really get that green tea flavor. Loved them to bits.
