Wu FuYuan Black Tapioca Pearl 1kg Bubble Tea

I bought these Wu FuYuan black tapioca pearls for making bubble tea at home and ended up buying two bags, which probably says enough on its own. The biggest advantage is how quick and easy they are to prepare. These are pre-cooked pearls, so you don’t have to deal with the long cooking times and soaking that dry tapioca pearls require. They’re ready in minutes, which makes spontaneous bubble tea far more practical. Size is spot on for bubble tea. The pearls are consistent and large enough to give that proper boba experience without clogging wide straws. Texture is excellent as well. Once cooked, they’re very chewy with the right amount of bounce. They also take on syrup well. When mixed with brown sugar syrup, they coat nicely and become pleasantly sticky without clumping together or turning into a solid mass. They hold their texture and finish well if prepared correctly. Overall, these are high-quality tapioca pearls that are convenient, well sized, and reliable. Great for home bubble tea and especially good if you want something quick without sacrificing texture.

Amazing value for money. Takes only 2-3 minutes on the stove or in the microwave to cook it. It softens well on the inside, still chewy but not hard. It’s tasteless on its own, so I often add a spoon or two of sugar when cooking it to make it sweet.

Great product, easy to use (I always did it on the hob so not very quick but allows time to make the milk tea) and always gives a good result that tastes delicious.

It’s okay, easy to cook it and just a normal tapioca

I purchase these regularly to make brown sugar chocolate milk boba. Nice and chewy.

Great product for reasonable price.

I bought this 1 kg bag to make bubble tea at home with some consistency rather than relying on instant pearls, and approached it with the expectation of doing the cooking properly. The pearls are semi-dried and slightly flattened in the pack, which already hints that they behave differently from fully dried tapioca. On cooking, they hydrate quickly and become translucent within a few minutes, with a soft centre and a gentle chew rather than a pronounced bounce. Texture is pleasant when freshly prepared, especially if finished in a brown sugar syrup, but timing matters and overcooking turns them pasty rather than elastic. In repeated use, I found the main limitation to be shelf behaviour after opening. Once exposed to air for a few weeks, the pearls harden unevenly and become less forgiving, requiring longer boiling while still failing to regain their original texture. Flavour is neutral as expected, and value is good if you work through the bag quickly. For frequent home use it is practical, but it lacks the resilience and consistency of higher-grade dried pearls.

Honestly its amazing, taste great and squishy without it being hard in the inside. I recommend just heating it with sugar so it doesn't taste bitter etc.
