Wu Fu Yuan Black Tapioca Pearl, Packaging May Vary, 250 g

any of the reviews that lists 'it is hard to cook' or 'not worth the wait' - as long as you read the instructions, it's super easy!! just one thing you need to know is that theres no sugar taste at all. you'd want to add honey or sweetener, i personally make brown sugar syrup and pour it over, tastes AMAZINGGG! it lasts me over a month (prob cause i make it so often about 3-4 times a week) and i use 1/4cup of it preparation time is about 10 minutes

These are easy to cook and very tasty. They are well in date. It has the expiration date at the back and useful instructions to cook the pearls. I didn’t follow these instructions and still ended up with the same great results. One 250g pack can make about a bowl full of pearls. It’s about 1 3/4 cups of pearl in 250g. I cooked 1 cup to 7-8 cups of water. When the water was at a rolling boil, I added the one cup of pearls. I stirred and waited until they floated. I covered the pot and turned the heat down to medium. I simmered the pearls for 5-10 mins, sometimes stirring in between. I turned the heat off after 10mins and let it sit covered in the pot for another 2-5mins. Drain the pearls and rinse with cold water until it’s room temp. I left them in cold water for 10mins until I was happy with the chewiness/texture of the pearls. Serve it with honey or brown sugar syrup and add it to your favourite flavoured tea/drink.

I bought it to first time to try at home . You need to boil it for 12 to 15 min or until the bona float on the water and off the gas , cover it and keep it warm. If you cool it then it turns hard . So keep it warm or reheat 2 to 3 min when you add in any drink . These boba have no taste fo good , you can make it sweet or salty according to your taste . I add honey and lavender flavour in milk and it taste great.Now I buy them japanese online store and get it at 2.39 . The seller charging almost double price which is unfair . Rest these brand boba is good .

i bought this to taste test it but i personally wasnt a big fan but it wasn’t too bad?

Just as shown Boba is same as ones I purchase similar to sold bobas

So easy to cook and nice texture but they literally have no taste lmao it taste like water jelly, i even soaked it in honey, syrup and sugar but once they was in the liquid the coat dissolved and they taste like nothing when you chew

I thought I would try these as I was wasting money buying pre made boba drinks that did not taste the way I wanted. These are easy to make and give that added taste and texture to my drinks. They only take a few minutes to cook and you add as much or as little as you want.

I bought these tapioca pearls because perviously, I bought these in another country and they tasted amazing. But when I bought these I was shocked at what I got I followed every clear instruction written in English and these tasted disgusting and had a slimy texture and it was chewy and I couldn't eat any more because they are unbearable. I felt sick and disgusted at what I got. Later on I searched up on safari if they were bad for you and I was shocked at what I saw, it stated they gave you constipation and take days just digest through your stomach and contained a lot of sugar and after that the package told you to add more sugar. So this wasn't good so I wouldn't recommend.

Very good, high-quality boba- the only complaint I have is the value for the $ you pay. It is not an extremely large amount of boba per bag, and it is rather expensive. There are other boba brands on amazon that taste just as good, give you more boba, and are more affordable.

This was the EASIEST boba to make ever. I’ve tried several times to make boba pearls from my local asian market that were super cheap and in huge batches, but had no clear instructions on how to make them. This package actually came with quite a lot of pearls despite being a small package (it was filled to the brim, barely any space left), and had CLEAR english instructions! It said to use 10 cups of water but I was able to pass with much less after reading a comment mentioning it doesn’t really matter, and the pearls cooked to be so soft and squishy without falling apart in quite literally 5 minutes, so the package didn’t lie like i was afraid it might have. They have no real taste which I think is great because I like boba for the texture, and I was able to sweeten them with a little bit of pure cane sugar. I didn’t even have to sweeten my tea because it made the tea sweet with the pearls! Absolutely love this boba and I dont think i’ll ever buy another brand. I’d also like to mention that another review stated this was expensive for the amount, but I cannot stress enough how untrue this is. In the states (unless you’re in NY or Cali with a heavy asian population), boba tea goes for about $4-$6 per regular size cup. The fact that I could make 8-10 servings from this bag pays off that expense already, not to mention the fact that tea (or whatever drink you’re putting this in) is never going to be any more expensive than the pearls. The price is honestly too low for what you receive, and the quality is amazing. This is my best purchase and will be saving me the money from going on boba runs every other day.

Great prdt. Easy to cook too

I bought this product because I LOVE boba, but bubble tea from my local shop is around $5.50 per cup. At the mall, it's around $9.00. This bag has around 5 servings for $5.00. That's a steal! The cost is around a dollar for every 1/3 cup. The bobas take around 5-10 minutes to cook depending on the temperature of your stove. If you follow the directions, (10 cups water per 1 cup boba pearls, let water boil and pour pearls in, then let bubbles float to the top and simmer to soften the pearls,) the bobas come out perfectly. I recommend adding brown sugar or honey to sweeten the pearls. They taste great served hot or cold. I like to have them with a smoothie or hot tea or coffee. Overall, these pearls are the bang for your buck! I have tried other brands such as 'Buddha Bubbles', however they are more expensive and have a different taste than those from the shop. These inexpensive, great flavor bobas are the best. I definitely recommend. EDIT: I noticed that the price of these had risen to 8.99, (now they are back to 5.99) and wanted to see if I could find a brand with a better price but similar pearls. I ended up trying E-Fa's Rainbow tapioca pearls and they were AMAZING! The E-Fa Rainbow tapioca pearls were 11.55 for a 2.2 pound bag of tapioca pearls (compare to WufuYaun 5.99 for 8 ounces.) I will list the pros and cons for each brand. WufuYaun: The WufuYaun pearls are the perfect size and most likely what your used to. These pearls taste exactly like boba pearls from the tea shop. There texture is more chewy than comparable pearls. Keep this is mind as some people prefer other textures. Though the pearls themselves are great, they are more expensive than E-Fa tapioca pearls. E-Fa Tapioca Pearls: These pearls are great! They are a bit smaller than the WufuYaun tapioca pearls, however they fit perfectly for any/all buble tea drinks. I personally like these flavour better. They are sweeter than the pearls from WufuYaun. I find the WufuYaun tapioca pearls stay soft for a longer time. These bobas are much better, however price wise. For a 11.50 you can get 2.2 pounds of great tasting boba pearls. I like these pearls the best, mainly because they are a cheaper option. However, WufuYaun pearls are great, too.

There is absolutely no flavour unless you add something like brown sugar but I love these because they’re quick and easy. Follow the instructions and after you strain them, put them back into the pot with some brown sugar simple syrup and boil until the syrup thickens, then cool with a lid on. Delicious.
