Black Tapioca Pearls
Order now, we'll ship tomorrow
Our black tapioca pearls are the perfect "bubbles" in bubble tea, and can also be used in desserts. Also known as boba, black tapioca pearls are small, round balls made from tapioca starch - sweet and somewhat gummy. These are the same boba pearls as those used at gourmet bubble tea shops.
In the 1980s, one Taiwanese tea stand had the bright idea of adding tapioca pearls to their frothy tea drinks to create imaginative and tasty beverages. Because these drinks had bubbles at the top (the froth) and at the bottom (the pearls), they became known as bubble tea. Bubble tea is especially popular in Taiwan, although it is also enjoyed all over the world.
Black tapioca pearls can be added to pretty much any drink to make bubble tea: green tea, black tea, fruit-flavored tea mixes, and even coffee. Bubble tea can be served hot, cold, sweetened, with cream, with milk, or plain. However, the essential element of this versatile drink is the black tapioca pearls that sink to the bottom.
Bubble tea is also known as boba tea, boba drink, pearl tea, black pearl tea, pearl milk tea, and tapioca tea. We also sell bubble tea straws, which are the perfect size to suck up these boba pearls from the bottom of your cup.

Erica, Johnstown, PA March 29, 2013“I am pregnant and had been craving Boba (bubble tea) for weeks with no local providers. Nuts' Boba is the best price that I was able to find online, as well as selling the straws in a more personal quantity. They provided easy instructions online and it was shipped in two days!! Delicious!
I will definitely use this site again!”
Kyra, NE March 15, 2013“I ordered the tapioca pearls, bubble tea straws, and the Thai tea powder. They were fabulous! I love making bubble tea. I mix my tea powder with evaporated milk or 2% milk and it's the perfect sweetness and consistency. The packaging is so cute as well. ”
Joy, Winooski, VT March 9, 2013“Love these tapioca pearls. They are perfect for bubble tea. I bought them twice with the Taro milk tea powder. The best I have ever had! I am on my way to order more now!”
Celina February 24, 2013“First of all, the packaging is really cute. I was already happy even before opening the box which is a really good sign. The boba tasted really good, even better than the ones I buy at usual milk tea places. For better taste, I made my own syrup which consister of 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of honey, and 1/2 cup of hot water. I let the newly-cooked boba to soak in it for about fifteen minutes. I will definitely buy from NUTS.COM again!”

janeice culp, apollo, pa January 5, 2013“I received my shipment of tapioca balls for my bubble tea, I have tried numerous other brands and by far yours were the freshest, and bigger than others. I did have a lot of powder in one of my bags from shipment, this is a very fragile item, so understandable. All and all i am satisfied. Will be back for more, Do you have bigger bags? Tea Time!”
