Tapioca Pearls / Boba

Tapioca Pearls, also known as Boba, get their delightful consistency from cassava starch, collected from the root of the cassava plant. After cooking and expanding to twice its original size, the tapioca pearl becomes chewy and sticky, almost like a gummy candy. On its own, tapioca does not have much flavor, but it is usually mixed with a sweetener before it is added to tea.

Tapioca Pearls are what make Bubble Tea, well, bubbly! It's a sweet treat that has earned itself adoring fans across the globe! Learn how to cook Tapioca yourself at our Boba School in Hayward, California! We'd love to meet you!
