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.

Matcha

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
