J-BASKET Black Tea Boba Kit, 10 Oz

So I occasionally get into a boba mood and I'll just crave it. Luckily, they make this DIY version for home. I saw it in the store and tried a few flavors out. Each box is enough for three servings. While the instructions seem simple, I found there are some nuances to the process to get them as close as you can to an actual boba shop. Here's my specific process: 1) Pour milk tea powder into coffee cup, add 150ml of boiling water, stir 2) Add boba pearls into the cup, then microwave for 60 seconds 3) In a separate 20-ounce cup, put in 300g of ice cubes (I use three huge ice cubes) 4) Slowly pour the heated coffee cup mixture into the cup with ice cubes That's it. You can adjust sweetness by adding more sugar, and even milk/heavy cream. The main reason I use boiling water at the beginning versus hot water like the instructions say is that the boiling water won't make the pearls al dente feeling when you suck them up. It needs to be hot enough to soften up fully. Of course, these are my instructions and you are free to try the box instructions first. Overall, this tastes like a shop boba tea at nearly half the price. Recommended.

So I absolutely love boba tea and almost any flavor for that matter. I love these kits because it's fun and it saves me from making my own boba especially when I want it right then and there. This is a product the whole family can do and my son loves to do his own. The price is decent and the texture was great. You know some have that gritty texture like the powder doesn't mix completely but the tea powder in this mixes well and I'm thankful there isn't the gritty feeling because I have a hard time finishing the drink because of it.

Great product, never disappointed

Really good flavor. Great price. Easy to make. Great smell and texture. Good size

I'm not sure why, but my daughter got sick and vomited. We thought it was something else, but when she tried to make another one and took a couple sips, she started vomiting about 25min after! Unfortunately I have to put a star smh!

My daughter loves boba tea, so she was really excited to get this kit. We already made some, and it tastes delicious. It only takes a few minutes to make. The kit has enough for three small cups. Keep in mind the cups are the size of a regular coffee mug, not the larger cups you see on the box. The only thing I didn't like is that it included paper straws, but I have some stainless steel straws so we used those instead.

The actual liquid tastes good if you add some almond milk, however..it's way too sweet and the Boba is not cooked enough.

Tastes sweet and like tea but with something else that I can't pinpoint. My daughter likes the tea but not the boba. My son isn't a fan. He's weirded out by what he calls the gelatinous balls. We've never had it before so we don't have a reference of how it should taste. I probably will not purchase again. However, the packaging is adorable and the steps are easy.

Súper ricos

Tiene un sabor a café más rico nunca lo había probado pero la verdad que me ha sorprendido mucho. Es delicioso

Todo súper bien aún no lo pruebo pero la caja me venía dañada un poco abierta

El sabor es algo fuerte, pero tolerable. Para un antojo es perfecto.

No se si no lo supe preparar, pero sabe muy mal.
