Question 1

What is bobba made of?

Accepted Answer

Bobba (commonly spelled boba) pearls are primarily made from tapioca starch derived from the cassava root. They are often mixed with water and sweetened with brown sugar to create their signature chewy texture and dark color. Popping boba, on the other hand, is made using fruit juice and sodium alginate.

Question 2

Is bobba gluten-free?

Accepted Answer

Traditional bobba pearls are made from tapioca starch and are naturally gluten-free. However, it is important to check the specific ingredients of flavored syrups or instant kits, as some may contain additives or be processed in facilities that handle gluten. Yami provides detailed ingredient lists for all our bubble tea products.

Question 3

Can I make bobba tea at home?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Yami offers a variety of instant boba tea kits and ready-to-drink options. You can also purchase dry tapioca pearls or popping boba separately to customize your own milk tea boba at home. Most instant pearls can be prepared in just 5 minutes by boiling them until they reach your desired chewiness.

Question 4

What is the difference between popping boba and regular boba pearls?

Accepted Answer

The main difference lies in the texture and experience. Traditional boba (tapioca pearls) is chewy and usually flavored with brown sugar. Popping boba has a thin, gel-like skin filled with fruit juice that "bursts" when bitten. Both are popular toppings for bubble tea and desserts.

Question 5

How should I store bobba pearls?

Accepted Answer

To keep cooked boba pearls soft and chewy, it is best to store them in a simple syrup or honey at room temperature for up to 4 hours. For long-term storage of uncooked dry pearls, keep them in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. Avoid refrigerating cooked pearls as they will become hard.
