Bossen Original Crystal Boba in Syrup 4.4 lb.

These are in NO WAY a replacement for ‘boba’… it’s a horrible dupe that tastes like wax saturated with watery karo syrup brown colored sugar (artificially) ‘flavored’ syrup!!! Definitely a misrepresentation if offered as boba! Purchased 1 bag to try it and threw it all out after i tasted the first straw full! Not appealing whatsoever and would be embarrassed to offer it to anyone as marketed!!

Beware of OLD STOCK. We stock up some crystal boba to find out it has expiration date of less than 2 months. My advise is do not order ANY food items from Webstaurant.com unless you absolutely have to or order small amount to get you by. The customer service will not help you in anyway. siting policy states it's within 30days. Their stock must have been sitting in the warehouse for almost a year or two.

In all honesty, I am new to the whole boba/flavor pearl beverage. Having said that I have been using flavor pearls in lemonades and you should know that this product is NOT a flavor pearl (I will read more closely next time before ordering) they are like a tapioca boba. I am giving them 3 stars because the quality is not the best, the tapioca beads are 80% irregular shaped and some will not pass through a straw. If you look closely to the product picture you can easily see that.

We have used these in our Cold Brew coffee and our iced lattes with brown sugar cinnamon syrup! Our customers are loving them! Thanks for a good product!

These brown sugar boba pearls have been a huge hit and a nice addition to our menu.

The Bossen matcha crystal boba in syrup has a lovely matcha taste to it and is a very pretty green matcha color as well. The texture is not the same as tapioca pearls so just make sure you know that before buying. It's not a substitute for tapioca pearls at all but is a really tasty crystal boba. Our staff and guests didn't like the texture so we didn't buy it again, but if your guests like crystal boba texture they will like this matcha alternative.

Taste great. Good quality cannot wait to purchase again. Used with thai tea purchased here. Only issue was I wasn't sure if I needed to refrigerate.

Listen to the other reviews! This product is not boba. The texture is gross. This went straight yo the trash. Don’t waste your money.

Served our purpose, but I agree with other reviewers comments. These are not your typical tapioca boba pearls. But if you need a premade alternative… they work.

So yummy, it was a huge hit at our party. Will definitely buy again.

Easy alternative to cooking boba when you are in a pinch

We are using this boba for our tea’s and coffee it has a really nice chewy texture. It taste really good with Brown Sugar Cinnamon syrup. It’s a definitely a product that you want to buy more

This a good, gentle flavor. The texture is of wet gummy bears. The liquid in it is like extremely loose jello, so it doesn’t drain through boba strainers. Nobody like it though on ice cream or in sprite, but I can appreciate it for what it is. It is high quality. It is hard to pull up boba straws because it’s smaller than the straw so you have to stuck fast to get it to rise.

Was so excited to try them but ended so disappointed. If you are wanting syrup this is perfect for you. I don’t know if our crystals just liquefied in transit or if it just does not carry much crystals in the bag, but I had to use a strainer to collect them. It didn’t even fill a 8oz container with the crystals. It’s just basically 4lbs of liquid. The crystals are so tiny and thin nothing like the image when looking on the website. Completely disappointed in the product.

Not a huge fan of these crystal boba and I was really looking forward to them! They left an off after taste that I can't quite put my finger on and the smell is a little off too. Not sure if maybe I just got a bad batch or something even though my bag doesn't expire until 08/2022?

We use this boba in alot of our teas in it is a costumer favorite. I recommend you pick some up and i give it a 5 star.

Our experience was awful. These taste like gummy balls before the sugar coating. More like a flavorless jelly bean than a tapioca pearl. Do not try to replace tapioca with these. Your customers will definitely know the difference. We threw the entire batch of 5 bags in the trash (can't return). No way am I serving this at any of our events. Daughter who is a huge bubble tea fan couldn't eat them either. Gross.

This Original Crystal Boba is very tasty, can be applied to tea and used as a topping. For such a reasonable price, this is a good choice.

Loving the colorful bobas. It makes the drinks look so much more tempting. The texture is chewy and crunchy at the same time which is great.

These went over very well for us. Customers liked having the option of a taro flavored boba. They of course aren't the typical tapioca but everyone that tried them really liked them.

These black sugar crystal bobas have a nice chewy, jelly-like texture. They are ready to serve. I rinse these before adding them to drinks because the syrup is too sweet. The bobas itself wasn't too sweet at all.

This crystal boba is pretty standard. It's a nice texture and has a sweet taste. We use it as a topping for our tea based drinks and our customers enjoy it.

I love the fact that I don’t have to cook them. They are ready to serve to your customers. They taste amazing and they are a great addition to cold drinks.

I like that these boba balls have a good flavor and it’s already pre cooked for you! The only downside of them is that I still have not found a good size straw that they go through without a little struggle. Just keep in mind when or if purchasing straws to go with!

Not as good as Tapioca pearls, they are more jelly like and they are gummy when you chew them. Not what I expected. I prefer Tapioca pearls over these. They are okay of you do not like Tapioca but if you are looking for authentic Tapioca pearls, these are not it, nor are they like popping boba.

We love the bossen brand and is so happy they carry it on webstaurant now! Would highly recommend for blended drinks or mixed in with milk tea.

I love crystal boba and these crystal boba are the best!!!! No need to cook, they don’t harden after refrigeration and thus no need to microwave when preparing nice milk tea drink!

love these for toppings in our drink and on our desserts. great price for great quality product. crystal boba is all the rave right now. recommend 5 stars!!

The taste just same as original crystal boba, but the smell has taro on this. It’s good as crystal boba. Should try if you like taro if you don’t mine to pay a bit extra ????

These are a really nice alternative to regular tapioca balls. If you have cold drinks (who doesn't like cold bubble tea?) these keep their texture for much longer compared to tapioca pearls which eventually get a hard unpalatable texture after a couple of hours. Crystal boba will maintain its nice, but different, texture even when mixed into a drink that is left in the fridge overnight.

i alway ordered tapioca boba for add to some difference kind of tea, but my friend she recommend about crystal boba, i did order and i add to smoothies for my kids try, they loved, i buy again

I bought these boba to add to tropical drinks. They have a great lychee flavor and I prefer them to the tapioca pearls because they have a texture resembling lychee.

Great purchase for us. We purchased several different flavor and these are the best non bursting ones out there. The flavor is not too strong and they keep well in the refrigerator. I wish the company would print a suggestions for how long these should keep, once they are opened though. It's a guessing game of taste and see each day to try to make a guess.

I have been looking for a boba alternative for quite some time now just because making real boba is very time consuming and takes some experimenting. This brown/black sugar crystal boba is such a great alternative that looks like boba and has a similar taste. I highly recommend trying this crystal boba. It tastes so great in milk teas.

Crystal boba has been becoming popular so i have added to the menu to see how it goes. So far it has been pretty good. Crystal boba does not have the same texture has regular boba. It is much harder but it is good and nice and sweet.

Out of all the crystal bobas the brown / black sugar crystal boba is my favorite. I really like the chewy texture. It has a nice brown sugar flavor and sweetness.

it would be great with holiday drinks because of the hint of cinnamon flavoring. The flavor reminded me of my childhood. I'll be sure to try this one again on Thanksgiving.
