5 Packs Taro, Mango, Honeydew, Strawberry Bubble Tea Kit Set With Extra Rich Tapioca Pearls, Straws

I have seen tons of reviews saying that the texture of the boba is off putting, and I think I’ve figured out why. If you just mix the tea powder with hot water, then add the boba, and then just add to ice, it comes out like a cross between firm jello gummies and warm skittles. Or as others have put it grainy. Fix: after you add the boba to the warm tea mixture, MICROWAVE IT! Lol. It is in the instructions, but I saw quite a few people who made it seems like they didn’t. Now on the box it says to microwave it for 30 seconds, but the description says 45 seconds. My guess is that it’s an adjustment for different wattages. So for instance if you have a 700 or 800 watt microwave, put it in for 45 seconds. If you have a 1,000 or 1,200 watt microwave, put it in for 30 seconds. This makes a huge difference with the boba pearls. They become soft and chewy. A lot better texture than not doing this. Even after the boba cooled from adding it to ice after microwaving it, it continued to have the better texture to it. One thing I didn’t like is some of the flavors weren’t really strong. Like the rose and Thai tea ones basically just taste like the brown sugar one. The Thai tea one was slightly sweeter though. So far only the melon tastes different to me. But they have all been great other wise.

Very good and delicious. I got the brown sugar flavor and I tasted just like how it is in the store! My first try making it the boba balls were hard and crumbly but on my second try I fixed that. If you don't like how the boba balls are just occasionally microwave them for an extra 10 seconds until how you like them. That's how it worked for me. Overall great product in my opinion!

I loved the majority of these! I gave 4 stars because the floral ones aren't balanced - they only taste like the flower and need more black tea added. Once I figured out I should add a tea bag and some extra vanilla creamer to the floral ones, they were great. Well, technically, I learned I'm not a big fan of Sakura rose (cherry blossom), but it wasn't terrible. The rose and lavender were delicious, and so were the Thai and regular milk teas.

Loved the variety of flavor and easiness to prepare the drinks

it is too bad, I followed its instructions and operated it in the microwave. In less than 10 minutes, all the water in the microwave overflowed, and the bowl even got frozen. It was really bad, so terrible. I originally wanted to return it, but since I had opened it, I couldn’t do that.

That’s all you really need to know. Followed the directions and the tapioca balls were still oddly chewy. Did them a little longer and they never softened.

The floral ones are great, had them as a subscription. They don't seem to be available anymore. Tried the fruit ones but they tasted... I don't know, chalky? Really hope the floral kit comes back in-stock eventually.

Delicious and addictive! Made a great care package for my college kid since everything was included in the box.
