Easy to Prepare

These fat free Bossen tapioca boba pearls, also known as tapioca bubbles, are easy to prepare; all you need is boiling water and a stovetop! Once they're cooked, you can sweeten them with honey, fructose, or other flavoring syrups to enhance the taste of your beverages. Unopened boba should be stored in a completely dry place away from sunlight. Once opened, this package should be stored in an airtight container under refrigeration and the contents should be cooked within 48 hours. Handle the uncooked boba gently to ensure that no pearls are crushed. After cooking, these boba are best when consumed within 4 hours. In order to keep your establishment in good supply, this 6.6 lb. bag yields approximately (100) 30 g / 4 tbsp. servings of prepared tapioca pearls.

Featured Preparation

TAPIOCA PEARL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS
100 g raw tapioca pearls
600 mL water
*To prepare the entire 6.6 lb. bag of tapioca pearls, use 4.75 gallons of water

In a large pot, pour in the measured amount of water and bring to a boil. Carefully add the raw tapioca pearls to the water and gently stir for 2 minutes, then turn the heat to medium and cook, without a lid, for 25 minutes. Turn the heat off, remove the pot from the stove, and cover with a tight-fitting lid for 25 more minutes. Next, remove the tapioca pearls from the pot and rinse them thoroughly with cold water in a strainer for 1 to 2 minutes. Finally, in a mixing bowl, stir the prepared tapioca pearls with your desired sweetener (honey, fructose, flavoring syrup, etc.), let sit for 15 minutes, then serve!

I have read all of the reviews and typically I don't do reviews but I wanted to share our experience. We are a loose leaf tea company and recently added a boba tea truck to our line up. There are a dozen brands on the market but Bossen is a brand that is well recognized and has very good quality. It took us a few times to master it but we bring the water to a ROLLING boil. Your water has to be rolling before you add boba and I only cook a half bag at a time to prevent them from sticking to each other. Once you add the boba to the rolling boil, stir slowly every few minutes. After 30 minutes, remove them from heat source to allow them settle and continue to expand. Let them sit 30 minutes and stir just 2 or 3 times Read More

We have had bad luck with this brand and end up throwing out more than we keep. We have made numerous batches and very seldom do they turn out good. They are either too hard or stick together like one big glob. We purchase other brands, cook it the same way and do not have this problem.

I acquired six cases of pearl, each weighing 6.6 lbs on April 15 . However, upon receipt, I was disheartened to discover that all the pearl going expire on july 29 , merely two months after the purchase date. This poses a significant inconvenience and financial burden to my business, as it is unfeasible to utilize such a large quantity within such a short timeframe. When I reached out to webstaurantstore customer service team to address this issue, I was informed that according to policy, products expiring within one month are considered acceptable for sale. While I understand the importance of adhering to policies, I cannot help but feel that this decision disregards the impact it has on loyal customers such as myself. As a small business owner, I rely on suppliers like Bossen to provide quality products that meet industry standards. Unfortunately, the expired pearl I received not only compromises the integrity of my offerings but also reflects poorly on the reputation of your company.

Bought this for my boba store use. We made sure we followed the instructions to cook it. The boba came out to be very hard and it has a weird, sour taste. Many customers complaints due to this boba and some of them said they won't come back again. I'm so disappointed at this product.

So sad. Bought these in end of February closed for covid and now that we’re reopen gearing up for bubble tea. However, these are awful. See pics. The pearls are powder and disintegrated as soon as I put them in the water. See video for what I’m talking about.

I was so disappointed in this product. I attempted to scoop the pearls out to cook them and they disintegrated. I asked for a replacement thinking they may be defective and the next batch was the same. I would NOT buy these.

This is really good quality boba. You need to cook it correctly, and it will come out perfect. Those who complain about quality must not know how to cook boba. Mine is always perfect. Step is strain the dry boba before cooking to get rid of the powder and small pieces. Step 2 is wait until the water boils completely, add boba slowly and stir until they're all separated. Then close the lid and stir occasionally. Soak boba for about 20min and rinse. Add sugar and brown sugar. "chef kiss"

I love this product however I am very annoyed I ordered a box of it April 8th and it came to me expiring May 9th. I can't use that much in that short of time. I will just get it locally at my Asian grocery store so I don't waste anything.

Thank you for your review! Consumable products will arrive before their best by date, and we will remedy any situations where this does not occur! Please reach out to our Customer Solutions team if you have any further questions.

GREAT PRODUCT BUT… I order tapioca once a week. Almost every single time I receive damaged tapioca. It seldom comes with a packing material and is packed with other heavy items. It’s either crushed, pulverized, wet from other products leaking. The tapioca itself is our preferred brand however I’m unable to use it most of the time due to the damage. This is a chronic problem.

Over half of my bag arrived perforated. The little bit I was able to cook after filtering out the powder was slightly okay, I personally wouldn’t give it a second try after this experience. I do like their brand just not this item.

Love it! I am from Taiwan where the boba's origin country. I have to say this black Tapioca Pearls is a excellent product! I first tried it at friend's house then I purchased it more than once now just to share with friends in the states! When first open the bag you can smell the brown sugar they used, it smell good! After cooking and eating them I fall in love with the texture! It is not too chewy or too soft, just the right texture.,
