Recommended use
9.5mm is the standard bubble tea size — pairs with 12mm bubble tea straws and 500ml or 700ml cups. Cooked pearls hold their texture for 4-6 hours at room temperature in brown sugar syrup. Use as the base topping for milk tea, brown sugar boba, taro milk tea and any classic bubble tea recipe.
Frequently asked questions
How long do cooked tapioca pearls last?
Cooked pearls hold their texture for 4-6 hours at room temperature in brown sugar syrup. After that, the texture hardens. Cook in batches throughout service for best quality.
What is the difference between 7.5mm and 9.5mm pearls?
9.5mm is the standard bubble tea size and matches a 12mm bubble tea straw. 7.5mm pearls are smaller, used in milkshake-style drinks or cups with narrower lid openings.
How many drinks does a 3kg bag make?
One 3kg bag yields approximately 80-100 servings depending on portion size (30-40g cooked pearls per drink).
Can tapioca pearls be frozen?
Uncooked pearls store at ambient temperature for 6 months — no freezing needed. Cooked pearls should not be frozen as freezing damages the chewy texture.
