Bossen Large Tapioca Pearls 2.2 lb. - 15/Case

I have read all of the reviews and typically I don't do reviews but I wanted to share our experience. We are a loose leaf tea company and recently added a boba tea truck to our line up. There are a dozen brands on the market but Bossen is a brand that is well recognized and has very good quality. It took us a few times to master it but we bring the water to a ROLLING boil. Your water has to be rolling before you add boba and I only cook a half bag at a time to prevent them from sticking to each other. Once you add the boba to the rolling boil, stir slowly every few minutes. After 30 minutes, remove them from heat source to allow them settle and continue to expand. Let them sit 30 minutes and stir just 2 or 3 times Read More

We have had bad luck with this brand and end up throwing out more than we keep. We have made numerous batches and very seldom do they turn out good. They are either too hard or stick together like one big glob. We purchase other brands, cook it the same way and do not have this problem.

I acquired six cases of pearl, each weighing 6.6 lbs on April 15 . However, upon receipt, I was disheartened to discover that all the pearl going expire on july 29 , merely two months after the purchase date. This poses a significant inconvenience and financial burden to my business, as it is unfeasible to utilize such a large quantity within such a short timeframe. When I reached out to webstaurantstore customer service team to address this issue, I was informed that according to policy, products expiring within one month are considered acceptable for sale. While I understand the importance of adhering to policies, I cannot help but feel that this decision disregards the impact it has on loyal customers such as myself. As a small business owner, I rely on suppliers like Bossen to provide quality products that meet industry standards. Unfortunately, the expired pearl I received not only compromises the integrity of my offerings but also reflects poorly on the reputation of your company.

just bought two boxes on January 9, 2024 and received them on the 27th. But it will expire on February 19, 2024. It only has a lifespan of 3 weeks.

Bought this for my boba store use. We made sure we followed the instructions to cook it. The boba came out to be very hard and it has a weird, sour taste. Many customers complaints due to this boba and some of them said they won't come back again. I'm so disappointed at this product.

Bossen boba pearls is the best boba that we've tasted. Easy to cook and I love the texture. We'll surely buy again.

So sad. Bought these in end of February closed for covid and now that we’re reopen gearing up for bubble tea. However, these are awful. See pics. The pearls are powder and disintegrated as soon as I put them in the water. See video for what I’m talking about.

I was so disappointed in this product. I attempted to scoop the pearls out to cook them and they disintegrated. I asked for a replacement thinking they may be defective and the next batch was the same. I would NOT buy these.

These stay the best for hours after you make them! They hold up wonderfully! Only one ill be purchasing from here on.

We love it

GREAT PRODUCT BUT… I order tapioca once a week. Almost every single time I receive damaged tapioca. It seldom comes with a packing material and is packed with other heavy items. It’s either crushed, pulverized, wet from other products leaking. The tapioca itself is our preferred brand however I’m unable to use it most of the time due to the damage. This is a chronic problem.

A customer favorite! We add these delicious tapioca pearls into our milk teas. A customer popular is adding them into their lattes or frappes. Easy to cook as well.

I loved the quality of the bossen tapioca pearls! The flavor and texture of these pearls worked well for my variety of teas, i prefer the larger tapioca pears to the smaller ones and this one works great! The texture of the tapioca is my favorite out of any brand ive tried!

Over half of my bag arrived perforated. The little bit I was able to cook after filtering out the powder was slightly okay, I personally wouldn’t give it a second try after this experience. I do like their brand just not this item.

Its good

Love it! I am from Taiwan where the boba's origin country. I have to say this black Tapioca Pearls is a excellent product! I first tried it at friend's house then I purchased it more than once now just to share with friends in the states! When first open the bag you can smell the brown sugar they used, it smell good! After cooking and eating them I fall in love with the texture! It is not too chewy or too soft, just the right texture.,

I love this Tapioca, it's so easy to cook and super tasty as well. Perfect for drinks and desserts, my customers love it! Will buy again.

These pearls were very good. I didn't need to cook it for the entire recommended time of 2 + 25 minutes. I only cooked under 7 minutes medium fire and let it sit for 15 more minutes. Texture wise, these pearls were chewy with a good amount of bite. In my opinion, I like pearls that are a little softer, but I think these would be standard levels of chewiness. They remained chewy for at least an hour. I presume they could go longer before getting hard, but I didn't get to test it for that long. Side note: I ordered 2 bags of pearls. They were not packed well within the box and tumbled around which caused a lot of the pearls to be crushed. If you're going to order the pearls, I'd suggest ordering the case over individual bags.

Excellent quality! Instructions are very easy to follow and easy to prepare. Will be purchasing again in the future and items from this brand are high quality.

I’ve read mixed reviews about this product, and truthfully I love it. It is time consuming to make, but all boba is. We do the 30/30 methods and people love it.

I lvoe these tapica boba pearls! They are super chewy after being cooked! And they taste amazing and it is easy to use to make boba drinks!

These large tapioca balls from bosses is really good. One of the best we have tried so far. We love it and it goes pretty fast.

We like using these because they have good texture- not mushy. They absorb the flavor of the syrup well and last in the pan for several hours without getting hard or clumping.

I just added boba to my shop and these are my go to boba pearls. They are perfectly soft, chewy, and look amazing too. I have yet to have anyone complain. The only thing I don't like the the styrofoam padding that comes with them. That stuff gets everywhere!

We bought these tapioca pearls so we could make bubble tea at home, and they just don't run out! It's a very good price for this many bubbles, and the bubbles themselves are quite good. The preparation instructions included on the packaging spell out the process nicely, so there's no confusion, and it's very easy to get consistently delicious bubbles every time!

I love bubble milk tea drinks and I do not get to have them very often, but with this boba pearls I can drink whenever I want. This is exactly what I've been looking for! Tastes exactly like the milk tea drinks I love it so much. Super simple to make it!

This is great and tasty product. Some reviews state that it is powdery, which it is! Just sift the amount you want through a strainer first and follow the directions!

This boba is just taken a few minute to cook. Our customers love the texture of this boba. We ordered one case this week and it is almost gone. Highly recommended!

We have used bobas for 5 years now. At his brand particularly not too long ago... it’s a game changer. Save on cost, shipping and I can easily purchase from here, best yet the quality is fantastic!!

Decent tapioca, we have tried many over the years and this comes in a hard 2nd or 3rd place. The texture when cooked properly is very good and spring but the flavor is lacking compared to some other brands of the same cost. We stock this and another boba regularly and interchangeably..

Bossen has won me over with their Tapioca boba pearls. I had been buying my boba from another brand for years. These pears are sweeter, cook easier and are nice and chewy.

Bosses large tapioca boba pearls are really just so delicious. It does take some experimenting with timing and temperature to get the right consistency but the overall taste of this boba is fantastic.

Looks exactly like the picture. Tastes very good. My kids love boba so I suprised them with this very large package of it. Simple to make, too. Great deal for the amount of boba it gives you. Thumbs up from me.

This was an interesting buy :). The color, taste and texture are very nice! It has the flavor of a cereal. It had to boil longer than other pearls I've tried but turned out better than the others. Note that it should be used within 48 hrs of opening so you many not want such a large package.

When buying Bossen's Tapioca Boba Pearls, be sure to buy the case as you get 6 for the price of 5. The quality of the tapioca was better than I expected. My customers enjoyed it too.

I purchased this to try out but we didn't like this brand. It contains a lot of artificial ingredients and had an artificial taste to it. Please consider another brand.
