Boba Tea AnswerSee Recipes

_____________________________________________________________

Boba Tea QuestionHow many drinks can 6.6 lbs of pearls make?
Boba Tea AnswerApproximately 80-100.  This will vary depending on the amount of pearls 
        you use per cup.  For example,  some Boba tea shops serve 
        100+ servings per 6.6 lbs bag.

Boba Tea QuestionAren’t all Boba tea products the same?
Boba Tea AnswerLike anything else, quality will vary when comparing Boba tea supplies.
        There are different grades of powders.  Some are more concentrated than
        others.  Some may be more creamy.  We carry the highest grade powders.  
       
Our premium gourmet 2.2 lbs bag of powder can serve 45-50 drinks while 
        market grade powders can only get 20-30 drinks out of a 2.2 lbs bag.
  
       
At Boba Tea Supply we offer the highest quality of products.  Our 
        tapioca consistently comes out with the right texture and taste.  The 
        tapioca pearls also normally last throughout the day which is very
        important for any business. 
 

        We are also the only award winner in a double blind test of Boba tea
        products by the American Culinary Institute.  Click to see our award
        or for the ACI site.  All major brands were tested but only Boba Tea
        Supply products came through as winners.

Boba Tea QuestionHow many drinks can 2.2 lbs of powder make?
Boba Tea AnswerAgain, this varies.  If you are using the Boba Tea Supply flavored powder
        and following our suggested recipes, there are approximately 45-50
        servings.  

        A common deceptive practice of some companies is to add much more 
        powdered creamer to lower their cost. 
Compare our servings to others 
        that offer 18-20 servings per 2.2 lbs bag.  With us you get twice the servings.

Boba Tea QuestionHow many drinks can syrup make?
Boba Tea Answer Normal use is usually 1-2 fl. oz. per 16 fl. oz. Boba tea.  Thus, a 40 fl. oz.
         container can serve 20-40 Boba teas and a 64 fl. oz. container can serve 
         32-64 Boba teas.

Boba Tea QuestionHow many drinks can your tea make?
Boba Tea Answer A one ounce filter bag of raw tea will make about 1/4 to 1/2 a gallon 
         (32-64 fl. oz.) of brewed tea.  This is assuming that you will be using 
         the tea for Boba tea.

Boba Tea QuestionWhat exactly is the lead-time?
Boba Tea AnswerThis will depend on what country you are in and if your order is bulk or for
         home supplies.  Boba tea supplies are usually shipped within 1 business 
         day of payment and confirmation of the order.  Completed orders received
         before 11 AM PST may ship the same day.

Boba Tea QuestionWhat is the shelf life on powder and tapioca pearls?
Boba Tea AnswerThe shelf life on powder is approximately 1 year.   The main thing is 
         keeping it out of moisture.  Powder will keep better if stored in an airtight
         container.  Unopened tapioca pearls have a shelf life between 6 months
         to 1 year.  Store tapioca at room temperature in dry area.  

         After the bag of tapioca pearls is opened, seal the bag as airtight as 
         possible to keep the moisture from escaping.  If the moisture escapes, 
         the tapioca pearl will begin to fall apart.  Store in a cool dry area but 
         not in the refrigerator.  The refrigerator will dry out the tapioca and they
         will become brittle.  It's best to use the tapioca within a few days from 
         opening the bag.

How long do pearls stay fresh after making them?
Boba Tea AnswerTapioca pearls are best when served within 4 hours.  Tapioca tends to lose
        its uniquely chewy texture by the end of the day.  After the pearls sit out
        for a while they get mushy.  If you're serving the pearls in your business,
        do your best to use up the pearls each day.  

        For best results, use the tapioca pearls within 4 hours of cooking.  Most 
        businesses will cook at least 2 batches of tapioca pearls a day to ensure 
        they are chewy.

Boba Tea QuestionCan tapioca pearls be saved if not used?
Boba Tea Answer       It is definitely not recommended for businesses to reuse the tapioca. 
               Businesses should use the pearls prepared that day and toss out 
               unused portion.

               Because cooking tapioca pearls can be time consuming, you can cook 
               tapioca pearls thoroughly, rinse, coat with sugar, and store in a Ziploc 
               baggie flat. Flattening the baggie will allow the pearls to freeze evenly. 
               Do not make it too thick. When you want pearls, boil water, break off 
               a piece of the tapioca pearls you want to use and reboil until tapioca 
               pearls regain it's chewy texture.

Should I use milk, cream or non dairy creamer for Boba Milk 
        Tea?
Boba Tea AnswerIt depends on your preference.  Non dairy creamer is easier.  Sometimes
        people use whole milk and a Tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk for
        their milk tea.  Part of the fun is experimenting and that's where you will
        discover menu items that are your originals.

        We also recommend the black milk tea powder to make milk tea.  It is easier
        and many people prefer the taste over brewed tea.

Boba Tea QuestionWhat's the first step to opening a Boba tea shop?
Boba Tea AnswerThe first step is to make sure you can make a proper drink.  We  
        recommend you get a deluxe business sample kit or pearls n powder kit
        and throw a Boba tea party for your family and friends.  This way you 
        can get important feedback.  Whether it’s good or bad, your friends and 
        family will give you their honest opinion.
