What are Tapioca Pearls?
Starch-Based Spheres.
Chewy Perfection in Every Cup.
Tapioca pearls (also called boba pearls) are soft, chewy spheres made from tapioca starch extracted from cassava root. When cooked, they develop a translucent, gummy texture that adds body, chew, and an authentic café experience to every bubble tea drink.
The Tea Planet manufactures tapioca pearls in-house at 400 kg/day using dough mixing and dry rolling methods at our FSSC 22000 certified facility in Hyderabad. Available in 5+ varieties — from classic black to instant pearls that require no boiling. Every batch is vacuum-packed for maximum freshness and shelf stability.
Unlike imported tapioca pearls that often arrive stale or inconsistent, our in-house manufacturing ensures every batch meets the same quality standard — with varieties specifically designed for Indian café operations and consumer preferences.

Tapioca pearls are the foundation of bubble tea — but their versatility extends far beyond. From hot drinks to desserts, they add texture and fun to any menu.

Preparation Guide
How to Cook Tapioca Pearls
Proper cooking is the key to perfect chewy pearls. Follow these steps for consistent results every time — whether using traditional or instant pearls.
Traditional Pearls (Classic Black, Mini, Brown Sugar, White)
Boiling method — 25–30 minutes
- 1
Boil Water
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Use at least 8 parts water to 1 part pearls.
- 2
Add Pearls
Pour the tapioca pearls into the boiling water. Stir gently to prevent sticking.
- 3
Cook 25–30 Minutes
Maintain a medium boil. Pearls will float to the surface when nearly done. Cook until translucent throughout.
- 4
Rest & Drain
Turn off heat and let pearls rest in the hot water for 15–20 minutes. Then drain and rinse with cold water.
- 5
Coat with Brown Sugar Syrup
Toss cooked pearls in brown sugar syrup for the classic 'tiger milk tea' finish. This also prevents sticking.
- 6
Serve Immediately
Cooked pearls are best served within 4 hours. Do not refrigerate — they harden when cold.
⚠️ Important Tips
- • Use immediately after cooking — do not store overnight
- • Do not refrigerate cooked pearls — they become hard
- • Keep in brown sugar syrup at room temperature for up to 4 hours
Instant Tapioca Pearls
Microwave method — 30 seconds
- 1
Open Sachet
Remove the instant tapioca pearl sachet from the cup or pack.
- 2
Microwave 30 Seconds
Place the sachet on a microwave-safe plate and heat for 30 seconds on high.
- 3
Alternative: Sauce Pan
If no microwave, heat the pearls in a small sauce pan with a little water for 1–2 minutes.
- 4
Add to Drink & Enjoy
Open the sachet, add the warm pearls to your drink, stir, and enjoy immediately.

Tea Planet vs Imported
Why Indian-Made Tapioca Pearls
Beat Imports Every Time
Most tapioca pearls in India are imported from Southeast Asia. Here's why buying from India's first manufacturer gives you a structural advantage.

| Texture Consistency | Batch-controlled, uniform chew | Varies — often stale or too hard |
| Certifications | FSSC 22000, FSSAI, HALAL, APEDA | Varies by brand |
| Dispatch Time | 7 days (ready stock) | 4–8 weeks (import cycle) |
| Minimum Order | No MOQ for cafés | High MOQ required |
| Variety Range | 5+ varieties incl. Instant | Usually only classic black |
| Packaging | Vacuum-packed, FSSAI-compliant | May need relabeling for India |
| Shelf Life | 12 months | 12–18 months |
| Freshness | Fresh from factory, vacuum-sealed | Months in transit + storage |
| Pricing | Factory-direct (no import duty) | Import duty + shipping + margin |
| Supply Reliability | Ready stock always | Subject to shipping delays |
| Recipe & Training Support | ✓ Full SOPs included | ✗ None |
| Instant Pearls Available | ✓ Yes (30-second prep) | ✗ Rarely available |
