Chewy perfection for every bubble tea recipe. Manufactured in-house at 400 kg/day at our FSSC 22000 certified facility in Hyderabad — vacuum-packed for freshness, available in 500g boil-packs and Instant 30g sachets.
Tapioca pearls — also called boba — are soft, chewy spheres made from tapioca starch extracted from cassava root. When cooked, they turn translucent and develop the gummy, satisfying chew that defines an authentic café bubble tea.
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. Every batch is vacuum-packed for maximum freshness and shelf stability.
Unlike imported pearls that often arrive stale or inconsistent, our in-house manufacturing means every batch meets the same standard — built for Indian café operations and consumer preferences.
Raw boil-pack pearls you cook fresh for full chew, and instant sachets that microwave in minutes. Same authentic pearl — pick by how you want to prep. Classic Black and Taiwanese in both lines, all FSSAI-compliant and factory-direct.
Both deliver the same authentic chew. The difference is prep — boil-packs for high-volume cafés, instant sachets for speed and no-skill service.
The foundation of bubble tea — and far beyond. From hot drinks to desserts, pearls add texture and craveable chew to any menu.
The quintessential topping — pearls at the bottom of every authentic boba drink for chew and visual appeal.
Neutral flavour complements any milk-based drink without competing with the tea.
A trending dessert ingredient — adds texture to puddings, parfaits, and Asian-style bowls.
Works beautifully hot — pearls in hot milk tea create the trending tiger-milk-tea experience.
A fun, photogenic topping that adds a unique textural element health-focused customers love.
Instant pearls are perfect for DIY boba kits and retail consumer packs — microwave and serve.
