If you are using the Bubble Tea Supply's flavored powder and following our suggested recipes, there are approximately 45-50 servings. Compare this to others that offer 18-20 servings per 2.2 lbs bag. With Bubble Tea Supply you get twice the servings!
- Is there any sugar in the flavored powder?
The flavored powder is mostly made from crushed natural fruit and a bit of non-dairy creamer and sugar. The non-dairy creamer and sugar is added to the natural fruit powder to help prevent the powder from clumping. However, Bubble Tea Supply makes sure that during the manufacturing of its flavored powders, the flavor is the most important ingredient to create a natural and vibrant taste for customer satisfaction. Please note that creamer and sweetener still needs to be added to the flavored powder to make the perfect bubble tea drink.

- Should I use flavored powder or flavored syrup?
Flavored powder and flavored syrup make different types of drinks. We recommend trying a Deluxe Business Sample kit that offers you the chance to try both syrups and powders. Syrups don't mix well with creamer or milk and will cause the drink to curdle. Syrups are best used to infuse flavors in the teas or to mix with water as a base to make a non-creamy slushy drink. Flavored powders are cream based thus creamer is added to it to make it even creamier and rich to the taste. Flavored powders are best mixed with water or tea as a base to create a creamy slushy drink.
- Do all bubble tea drinks have tea in them?
Not all bubble tea drinks have tea in them. Only the drinks that have a tea base have tea in them. The milk tea powders and green tea powders do have tea in them. You can make your bubble tea using the green jasmine tea or black aromatic filter bags But, you don't need to use tea as a base to mix the drink, you can just use water or milk.

Many people favor the fruity flavors. However, the drinks with some caffeine sell well also. The top five flavors are honeydew, strawberry, mango, coffee and milk tea.
- What are the ingredients in bubble tea?
- Syrups
- Do you have a sugar free Syrup?
No.
- What is coconut meat in syrup and how does it taste?
Coconut meat is a jelly konyaku piece that is sweet and adds texture to a drink. It does not have to be cooked so it is a good alternate to tapioca pearls. We carry coconut meat in pineapple syrup, lychee syrup and green apple syrup. They look interesting like the tapioca pearls at the bottom and taste great.
- How is the coconut meat in syrup used?
You just add it to the bottom of the cup with the tapioca pearls or you can use it on its own.
- How many drinks can flavored syrup make?
Normal use is usually 1-2 fl. oz. per 16 fl. oz. bubble tea. Thus, a 40 fl. oz.container can serve 20-40 bubble teas.

- How do I make tapioca?
Boil 15 minutes, take off the heat and let sit with cover on for 15 minutes. After that you drain and rinse the tapioca under water. Put in a container and coat with sugar or sugar syrup. It's similar to making pasta.
- Do you happen to have the smaller 5 minute Tapioca?
No, we don't carry the 5 minute tapioca pearl because the quality isn't very good for businesses. Our tapioca pearl only takes 15 minutes to boil and sit for 10-15 minutes.
- What is the difference between the colored tapioca pearls and the black/brownish tapioca pearls?
They are both made from tapioca starch. The colored tapioca pearls have pastel colors added to them to make it look more like candy. After cooking them and adding sugar, they have a cotton candy taste. The black/brownish tapioca pearls are the original pearls that were used in the original bubble tea drink. The black/brownish color comes from a bit of caramel added to the starch during preparation. After cooking the black/brown tapioca pearls and adding sugar, it has a sweet caramel taste.
- How long can I store the raw tapioca in an unopened bag?
You can store an unopened bag of tapioca pearls for 6-12 months in a cool and dry area. Do not store in the freezer or refrigerator. It will cause the raw tapioca pearl balls to fall apart when opening the bag.
- After opening the bag of tapioca, what do I do with the unused portion?
Once the bag of tapioca is opened you need to cook it within a few days to avoid it drying out and crumbling and protect against spoilage.
- After cooking the Tapioca, do you just let it sit out or keep it refrigerated?
After cooking the tapioca pearls, put them in a container and coat with sugar or sugar syrup. This should be kept at room temperature or a bit warmer, but do not put in the refrigerator or freezer. The cooked tapioca pearls should be consumed within 8-10 hours.
- After cooking, how many days it will last?
After preparing the tapioca pearls, it is highly recommended to use them the same day (within 8-10 hours). Do not store in the refrigerator or in a cold area. The cold air will cause the tapioca pearls to harden and will no longer be chewy or pleasant to eat.
A hint for home users: prepare tapioca pearls completely, with a coating of sugar. If all pearls will not be consumed, place in a large Ziploc bag and flatten (don't make it too thick). Place in the freezer flat. When ready to enjoy pearls again, break off a piece of frozen pearls and place in BOILING water. Boil for a few minutes till the pearls soften. Rinse under warm water and coat with sugar.
- Can the pearls be warmed up or cooked in the microwave?
No, pearls can not be prepared in the microwave. However, if you cook the tapioca pearls and freeze them flat in a zip loc bag, you can reboil a portion in boiling water for a few minutes to get them chewy again.
- How many drinks can 6.6 lbs of pearls make?
Approximately 80-100 servings. This will vary depending on the amount of pearls you use per cup. For example, some bubble tea shops serve 1/4 cup of tapioca pearls with drinks, compared to other stores that use 1/3 cup of pearls with drinks. The amount of pearls used in every cup is based on who is preparing the drink.
- Does your company sell the pearls in little individualized pre-packaged packs? Or is the smallest size is in a 6.6 lb bag?

- What can I use the juice balls for?
Juice balls are great for smoothies, bubble tea drinks, frozen yogurt, ice cream, gellato, and shaved ice.
- How are the juice balls different than tapioca pearls?
Juice balls are not made with a starch like the tapioca pearls. The thin outside layer of the juice balls are made from a seaweed extract. When you bite down, a squirt of fruit juice bursts into your mouth for a sweet and pleasant surprise.
The diameter of the juice ball is a bit smaller than the tapioca pearl so can be sucked up using the fat straw.
When you bite into a tapioca pearl, it's a chewy texture and have no juice in them.
Both juice balls and tapioca pearls are great for smoothies, bubble tea drinks, ice cream, gellato, and shaved ice.

It's a similar product, except that the juice ball is literally a juice ball. It is not a boba (tapioca pearl that is made from tapioca starch).
