E-FA BRAND E8Bubble Tea Black Tapioca Pearl 6.6 LB (6.6 LB (Pack of 1))

Best par-Cooked boba pearls I've ordered and I've order almost them all! The amount you get for the price, you can't beat! The best way I've found to cook them and infuse flavor (otherwise they're pretty bland) is as follows:Depending on how much pearls you want to cook at once, determines how much water to use. I recommended only making enough for how many drinks you plan to be serving or will use within 4-8 hours, at room temp, otherwise they start to get hard.For 1-2 drinks:I put enough water to fill halfway up my 6 quart pot, bring to rolling boil.Optional: I like to put about 1-4 cups of sugar (preferably the darkest brown you can find, but you can mix and match any kind of sugar you want) into the water, to infuse extra deliciousness into the pearls while they cook, highly recommended! Plus, you can reuse the water 3-6 times (storing in the fridge between each use), because who wants to waste that much sugar 😅 and it doesn't affect the pearls.Then, I add a little more than 1 cup of the pearls into the boiling water, stir it around a little bit, wait till I see them starting to float to top, then turn the heat down to medium, put the lid on, set the timer for 11 minutes, stirring occasionally.When timer goes off, turn the heat off, leave pot on burner with the lid on, and set timer for a additional 10 minutes, just letting them sit in the hot water.When timer goes off, I drain them into a colander, that is inside a bigger bowl, to save the water (mentioned above), put said water aside, then rinse the pearls in hot water to get the extra starch off.Put the pearls immediately into a tubberware, I use a smallish one that says it fits 2 Cups in. If you like them sweet (trust me, you will) then add 1-4tbsp of dark brown sugar/any sugar and a little simple syrup (1:1 ratio of dark brown sugar dissolved into of water), enough to cover the pearls. Mix them up and let sit for 15-40 mins, depending on how sweet you like them.After that, put pearls and a little bit of the syrup they were soaking in into bottom of glass/cup, add drink of choice on top and enjoy pure bliss👌I make my drink by putting some strong brewed, ideally loose leaf, black tea (I get a Thai tea bag that says "bubble tea mix" from my local Asian market or online), some coffee creamer (I use sweet cream flavored), some zero fat milk or water (because I gotta balance all this sugar somehow 😂) in a cup, heat in microwave for a minute and a half, because I like my drink warmish, completely optional. Pour on top of pearls and syrup, mix it up with one of my reusable boba straws, and am taken to absolute heaven, without having to spend 5-10$ or leave my home 🙌 tastes identical, if not better than your local bubble tea shop 👌It's a very large bag so I recommend this if you are a avid boba tea drinker/large family or you know how to store it right. The bag is not resealable so for the first couple of days/uses, I keep it in my fridge taped shut, with as much air as possible removed. After that I will transfer to a gallon zip-lock bag (usually will fit in one and maybe a single sandwich bag), close almost all the way, and then put a small straw in the corner and suck out as much air as possible before sealing it shut after every time I open it. It easily could last me a couple months, if not more, but I go through it in about a month and a half 😅Edit: after a couple of batches cooked, I noticed some sand/gritty granuals in the bag, water and drinks I had made. I highly recommend NOT buying from CL Marketplace, have NEVER had this experience with any other sellers.

If you are looking for easy to make topioka, this is the one for you.

My second time buying these now and they'll be my go to. They're semisoft in the bag, prep is easy and they're ready quickly. The flavor is good, a little on the neutral side with a bit of sweetness (other brands that I've tried were bitter).I'll keep buying these.

Estamos muy deliciosas pero estas no tienen nada de azúcares. Para diabéticos creo sería una buena opción!

Cooks in under 5 minutes! I just throw in the microwave for 1 minute in water let it sit for 4, drain it and it comes out perfect every time!

Easy to make and delicious!Texture depends on how long you've cooked the boba and how long you've left it out. It tastes great freshly boiled with great bounce.

Great boba. I am very pleased.

This is my favorite brand of boba and I love that it comes in bulk like this, its a much better value than buying multiple bags. It's easy to prepare too and can be done in around 5 min. I like my boba to be a little softer, so I'll follow the directions and make it for 5 min, then lower the heat and leave it another 5 min, rinse and add a couple squirts of honey. It's perfection each time. Storage is fine, though it doesn't last long here. It's boba, so it's on the chewy side, if that's not your jam then you may want to look at jelly or popping boba instead.
