J-BASKET Black Tea Boba Kit, 10 Oz

This a great tea! It tastes great! Easy to make and you get penty of Boba (spelling?)

So I occasionally get into a boba mood and I'll just crave it. Luckily, they make this DIY version for home. I saw it in the store and tried a few flavors out. Each box is enough for three servings. While the instructions seem simple, I found there are some nuances to the process to get them as close as you can to an actual boba shop. Here's my specific process: 1) Pour milk tea powder into coffee cup, add 150ml of boiling water, stir 2) Add boba pearls into the cup, then microwave for 60 seconds 3) In a separate 20-ounce cup, put in 300g of ice cubes (I use three huge ice cubes) 4) Slowly pour the heated coffee cup mixture into the cup with ice cubes That's it. You can adjust sweetness by adding more sugar, and even milk/heavy cream. The main reason I use boiling water at the beginning versus hot water like the instructions say is that the boiling water won't make the pearls al dente feeling when you suck them up. It needs to be hot enough to soften up fully. Of course, these are my instructions and you are free to try the box instructions first. Overall, this tastes like a shop boba tea at nearly half the price. Recommended.

Really good flavor. Great price. Easy to make. Great smell and texture. Good size

My grandson put this on his Christmas list and loves it.

My daughter loves these. Easy for her to make on her own. Taste of the boba is great. You can make it quickly and enjoy.

They don’t pop, are not boba. The pack of supposed boba are only chewy tapioca solid starch with brown sugar cane. The tea mix is good only in that it gets more palatable with the 2nd and 3rd taste, but it’d be hard to mess up black tea and powdered milk. Very sweet! Too sweet.

It honestly just doesn’t taste good. The texture of the boba is horrible and the milk tea doesn’t even taste like milk tea

I didn't expect much from powdered tea mix, but this came out surprisingly well. Just be aware that you'll need a GIGANTIC glass like a pint glass or something if you want to fit in 300 grams of ice. My very large water glass could only hold about 225 grams of ice and even then I thought the tea was slightly more dilute than my preference. Still, it is a nice cup of milk tea that I didn't need to prepare myself with some boba that I didn't need to cook myself, all able to be prepared in just a couple of minutes. I followed the tip from another reviewer and used freshly boiled water for the hot water and my boba came out soft to the center.

Súper ricos

El sabor es algo fuerte, pero tolerable. Para un antojo es perfecto.

Fácil de preparar, instrucciones fáciles de entender, buen sabor, muy aceptable

Tiene un sabor a café más rico nunca lo había probado pero la verdad que me ha sorprendido mucho. Es delicioso

Esto no sabe a black tea y las perlitas de boba, ni se diga. Esto sabe muy mal
