Coming soon to join our popular Brown Sugar boba pearls is our long-awaited new flavor – UBE!
Hooray for Ube!
Ube, or Ube halaya, is a Philippine desert made from the the purple yam aka Ube. Historians have found traces of the plant being used as far back as 11000 BP. Not to be confused with taro, as the main differences between taro and ube are their origin, the shape and color of their roots, and their flavor and traditional uses. Taro is native to Southeast Asia and has white or light purple roots, while ube is native to the Philippines and has purple roots. Taro has a starchy, slightly sweet flavor and is often used as a substitute for potatoes, while ube has a sweet, nutty flavor and is used primarily in desserts and sweet dishes.

Boba has many names and many meanings: bubble tea, milk tea, pearl milk tea, and even tapioca tea. The term “boba” is also used interchangeably, referring to both the tapioca pearls and the drink itself. Whatever the name, one thing is certain: in the past two decades, boba has become a worldwide phenomenon.
This increasing popularity is due to the unique texture, flavor options, and Instagram-friendly aesthetic. This delicious and refreshing drink is here to stay, and it is likely to grow even more popular in the next few years. According to forecasting reports, the boba market is expected to reach $4.3 billion by 2027. To better understand the factors driving this growth, let’s take a look at the history of boba.
The History of Boba
Boba is a popular Taiwanese drink often prepared with milk, tea, and chewy tapioca pearls. Customized with different flavors and toppings, boba is traditionally served cold but can also be enjoyed hot.
The history of boba dates back to the 1980s when tea shops in Taiwan began to experiment with new ways to make their drinks more interesting and appealing to customers. One of the most popular additions was tapioca pearls, which were originally used as a way to add texture and flavor to the drink. Over time, boba became increasingly popular and can now be found all over the world.
Why is Boba Here to Stay?
Boba has been around for over four decades and shows no signs of slowing down. It’s incredibly versatile and a great alternative to soda and other drinks with a high sugar content. It can be enjoyed hot or cold and there are endless flavor combinations. Most importantly, boba is just plain fun to drink! The tapioca pearls add an element of playfulness and make every sip an adventure.
What is Better Boba?
Better Boba offers an all-natural alternative to most mass produced boba in North America. There are no artificial ingredients, chemicals, or additives. We take pride in crafting all-natural tapioca pearls that are sustainably produced in the USA. Better Boba is easy to make at home and a unique way to celebrate a birthday or special event! Sip better. Choose better.
Originating from Taiwan, Boba is a delicious and refreshing drink enjoyed for its sweet flavor and chewy texture. However, most packaged boba in North America does not mirror the natural, artisanal boba available in Taiwan. As global demand increases, simple ingredients are being replaced with preservatives and additives, limiting our retail options.
Better Boba is making an all-natural alternative to DIY boba.
All-natural boba is better for our bodies.
All-natural boba is 100% preservative-free, meaning boba lovers can enjoy all the flavor without absorbing harmful chemicals. Better Boba doesn’t contain any artificial ingredients or additives.
Almost all the packaged boba in the North American retail market is made with modified tapioca flour (tapioca starch). This means the flour has been treated with chemicals to change its structure and make it more resistant to breakage. Many of the nutrients are also lost during the modification process and there is a high risk of contamination.
No more stomach cramps!
Our research abroad found that as global demand increases, simple ingredients are being replaced with preservatives and additives, liming our retail options. Some consumers also can’t digest modified starches; the general complaint is stomach cramps and abdominal pain. (This does not apply to boba made in-house; just packaged.) By offering a natural alternative, we hope to expand the reach and celebrate boba in new markets.
Better manufacturing
“Better” also identifies our efforts to create a more sustainable manufacturing and distribution process. Additionally, Better Boba supports sustainable sourcing practices.

Better Boba is an-natural DIY alternative. We are committed to celebrating boba and its Taiwanese origins. Go beyond the tea and scoop on ice cream, fruit salad, yogurt bowls, pancakes, acai bowls, iced coffee, and cocktails. Boba makes so many sips and snacks better!

Instructions
How To Make The Mango Milk Tea
First, prepare the mango puree: (2-3 servings). The mango puree can be done a few different ways, but getting it right makes all the difference. Sure the boba is the star of the show, but the mango puree is the supporting case. Any great team is only as good as its weakest link.
If using FROZEN mango:
Soak 1 ¼ cups of diced frozen mango with 3 tbsp sugar.
Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
Blend the mango mixture at a medium speed until you reach a drizzling consistency.
If using FRESH mango:
Place 1 ¼ cups of diced mango and 3 tbsp sugar in a blender.
Add 1 tbsp of water; more can be added if you prefer a thinner puree.
Blend the mango mixture until you reach a drizzling consistency.
Mango Boba Milk Tea (Love a different fruit? Go for it!)
Boil water in a pot until the temperature reaches 168 F.
Turn off the heat.
Add 1 cup of green tea (loose leaf) into the pot and stir so all the tea leaves are soaked.
Cover with a lid and let it sit for 8-10 minutes.
While waiting, prepare a container with 1 quart of ice and 1 cup of sugar.
When the tea is ready, open the lid and strain the liquid over a cloth strainer into the container with ice and sugar.
Whisk energetically until all is dissolved. Set aside to cool.
