2024 Year in Review with Better Boba

Written on . Posted in The World Of Boba, What's New.

2024 was a year of exciting milestones for better boba! From winning a FedEx Small Business Grant to expanding our wholesale partnerships, we’ve experienced significant growth and achievements. Our journey is a testament to the incredible support we’ve received from our loyal community, which has been crucial to our success. As a small but mighty business, we rely on the dedication of our customers and partners to help us thrive. We are excited to see more demand in the marketplace for all-natural products, like our vegan/gluten-free/non-GMO/kosher boba pearls!

Let’s review the highlights:

Featured Boba at The Republic of Tea

Our all-natural classic pearls are the featured boba at The Republic of Tea, one of the largest national premium tea retailers. Similar to better boba, they use non-GMO ingredients and support ethical sourcing practices. 

250+ Wholesale Accounts

WIth your support, we now serve over 250 wholesale accounts. These partnerships span across various sectors, including cafes, restaurants, and retailers, allowing us to bring our premium boba pearls to a broader audience. 

Recipient of the 2024 FedEx Small Business Grants Program

Ten US-based businesses were selected from 3900+ applications, and we were honored to be recognized for our innovation, passion, and social responsibility.

Semi-Finalist in the Whole Foods Leap Program

Our commitment to quality and innovation was recognized when we were selected as a Semi-Finalist in the Whole Foods Leap Program, a competitive initiative aimed at discovering the next generation of emerging food brands. 

Introduced Three New Flavors of All-Natural Pearls

Innovation is at the heart of our journey at better boba. This year, we introduced three NEW flavors of all-natural boba: strawberry, mango, and ube! 

“Top 15” Boba Brand on Amazon

Our all-natural pearls have gained significant traction on Amazon, where we are now a “Top 15” boba brand. This recognition is a reflection of consumers requesting healthier options in the marketplace and the increasing popularity of boba tea in the United States.

Successfully Planted and Grew Cassava in Our Greenhouses

It’s not just about sourcing better ingredients; it’s also about growing better ingredients! Together with local farmers, we planted cassava in greenhouses adjacent to our production facility near Salem, Oregon. This testing allows us to explore the viability of growing cassava in the region’s unique climate. While we are not yet growing it for full production, this early-stage experimentation is crucial to understanding how the crop can thrive in Oregon’s environment. 

Launched at Market of Choice, a Chain of Premium Oregon Grocery Stores

Our all-natural classic pearls have officially launched at Market of Choice, a beloved chain of premium grocery stores in Oregon. This expansion into a new retail market is an exciting development in our journey, as it brings our product to the shelves of high-end grocery stores. Find our pearls in the tea aisles at the Belmont, West Linn, and Cedar Mill locations. 

 

We’re so grateful for your support in our journey to create a better boba. Your belief in the benefits of all-natural boba fuels everything we do, and it’s because of this amazing communiTEA that we’re able to thrive—one pearl at a time. Cheers to 2025!

Introducing Better Boba’s All-Natural Mango Boba Pearls

Written on . Posted in Press, recipes, The World Of Boba, What's New.

Sip sip hooray! We are thrilled to announce the official launch of our all-natural mango boba pearls! 

Scoop our fruity, lightly sweetened mango pearls on iced tea, fruit salad, pancakes, ice cream, and more! Just like Better Boba’s original classic flavor, the mango boba is also vegan, gluten-free, non-gmo, and kosher.

 All-Natural Mango Boba Pearls Are Here

Mango joins two other NEW all-natural flavors: ube and strawberry! We initially aimed to launch this fruity trio in fall 2023; however, like many passion projects, it took longer than expected. 

The mango boba is easy to make at home on the stovetop. Boil for 25 minutes and let set for 8 minutes, followed by a quick rinse under cold water. For best results, enjoy fresh or soak the pearls in a simple syrup or sweetener. Go beyond the tea and scoop your mango pearls on sips AND snacks. Here are a few ideas to get started:

ube boba cheesecake

Mango Boba Cheesecake:

  • A creamy, tangy mango cheesecake offers the perfect balance of sweetness and tropical flavors. Topped with a layer of chewy mango boba, this dessert delivers a delightful textural contrast, combining smooth cheesecake with the fun, burst-in-your-mouth pearls.
  • Recipe Idea: Bake a mango-flavored cheesecake, then garnish each slice with a spoonful of mango boba and a drizzle of mango puree for extra flair.

Panna Cotta with Mango Boba:

  • This smooth and silky panna cotta gets a tropical upgrade with mango boba. The boba adds an exciting chewiness that complements the lightness of the panna cotta, while a drizzle of mango puree enhances the fruity flavor.
  • Recipe Idea: Make traditional panna cotta and serve chilled with a spoonful of mango boba and a generous pour of fresh mango puree.

Frozen Yogurt with Boba Pearls:

  • The tartness of frozen yogurt pairs perfectly with the sweetness of mango boba. Adding fresh mango pieces alongside the boba enhances the flavor and texture, turning a simple dessert into a refreshing tropical treat.
  • Recipe Idea: Choose your favorite frozen yogurt, top with mango boba pearls, fresh mango chunks, and perhaps a sprinkle of granola for crunch.

Mango Mousse topped with Boba:

  • Light and airy mango mousse is a decadent dessert on its own, but when topped with mango boba, it becomes even more irresistible. The pearls add bursts of juicy mango flavor, enhancing the richness of the mousse.
  • Recipe Idea: Serve mango mousse in individual cups and garnish each with mango boba and mint leaves for a visually appealing presentation.

mango boba with fruit

Tropical Fruit Boba Salad:

  • Take a traditional fruit salad to the next level by mixing in mango boba. The boba adds extra sweetness and chewiness, making it a fun twist for summer picnics or barbecues.
  • Recipe Idea: Combine tropical fruits like mango, pineapple, and papaya, then toss with a handful of mango boba for added texture and fruity goodness.

Coconut Rice Pudding with Mango Boba:

  • Creamy and rich coconut rice pudding gets a tropical boost with mango boba. The soft rice and rich coconut flavor pair wonderfully with the sweet, chewy boba, while toasted coconut flakes add a crunchy contrast.
  • Recipe Idea: Make coconut rice pudding, then top with mango boba and toasted coconut flakes before serving for a beautiful, layered dessert.

Mango Iced Tea with Boba:

  • Refresh your classic iced tea with a fruity twist by adding mango boba. Whether it’s black tea or green tea, the sweetness of the boba balances the tea’s natural bitterness, creating a satisfying drink with a burst of mango flavor in every sip.
  • Recipe Idea: Brew your favorite iced tea, then serve over ice with mango boba for a tropical touch.

mango boba smoothie

Mango Boba Smoothies:

  • Blend up your favorite smoothie and give it a fun textural element by topping it with mango boba. The pearls add chewiness and extra mango flavor, making each sip even more enjoyable.
  • Recipe Idea: Make a tropical smoothie with fruits like mango, banana, and pineapple, and finish with a scoop of mango boba for a fruity, chewy surprise.

Boba Milkshakes:

  • Elevate your creamy, indulgent milkshake with the addition of mango boba. The sweet mango pearls provide bursts of flavor that complement the milkshake’s richness, adding a fun and unexpected twist.
  • Recipe Idea: Blend vanilla or mango ice cream into a thick milkshake and top with mango boba for an extra layer of tropical goodness.

mango boba bubble tea

Tropical Cocktails with Boba:

  • Take your tropical cocktails or mocktails to the next level by using mango boba as a garnish. The pearls not only provide a pop of color but also add a burst of flavor that enhances fruity or citrus-based drinks.
  • Recipe Idea: Mix a tropical cocktail like a mango margarita or piña colada and serve with mango boba as a garnish for a playful, exotic vibe.

Frights & Bites: Spooky Halloween Boba Recipes

Written on . Posted in Boba Musings, recipes.

As Halloween approaches, it’s time to get creative in the kitchen with spooky, fun, and delicious treats! One of the most exciting ingredients to incorporate into your Halloween festivities is boba. These chewy little delights can add a playful twist to your Halloween beverages and snacks, making them perfect for parties and gatherings.

Halloween Boba Recipes:

This Halloween, elevate your festivities with these spooky boba beverage ideas. Gather your ingredients, prepare your favorite Halloween playlist, and get ready to brew up some deliciously frightful treats! Happy Halloween!

Witch’s Brew Bubble Tea

  • Transform your typical bubble tea into a chilling “Witch’s Brew” by using vibrant green matcha or spirulina powder for a spooky hue. Combine brewed green tea, milk (or a non-dairy alternative), and sweetened matcha to create a deliciously eerie drink. Top it off with black boba (using activated charcoal or black food coloring) to represent witchy potions. For an extra touch, add gummy worms and candy eyes floating on top!

Blood Orange Halloween Boba Brew

  • This eerie drink is perfect for Halloween. Mix freshly squeezed blood orange juice with sparkling water and a hint of lime for a fizzy, blood-red drink. Add your regular tapioca pearls or try red boba for a thematic touch. For a chilling effect, freeze small pieces of fruit or edible flowers in ice cubes and float them in the drink. It’ll look like a bubbling cauldron of spooky goodness!

Pumpkin Spice Boba Latte

  • Embrace the flavors of fall with a pumpkin spice latte with boba. Combine pumpkin puree, espresso (or strong coffee), milk, and pumpkin spice to create a cozy drink. Add regular tapioca pearls for texture and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. Serve it in a fun Halloween-themed cup to complete the experience!

Zombie Brain Boba

  • One of the most creative uses of boba for Halloween is to turn it into “brains.” Prepare a creamy strawberry or raspberry smoothie and mix in some gelatin to give it a thicker, brain-like consistency. Pour the mixture into a brain-shaped mold and let it set. Once ready, scoop out the “brains” and serve them in a cup with boba floating beneath them. This combination will definitely give your guests a fun fright!

Ghostly Coconut Boba

  • Create a hauntingly delightful drink with coconut milk, a dash of vanilla, and some sweetener of your choice. Add regular boba and top it with whipped cream shaped like ghostly figures. Use mini chocolate chips for eyes, and you have a creamy and festive treat that’s sure to impress!

Graveyard Mudslide

  • For adults looking to indulge, whip up a chocolate mudslide cocktail and layer it with dark chocolate boba. Create a “graveyard” effect by adding crushed cookies on top to mimic dirt, and place gummy worms and candy tombstones for a fun, eerie touch.

Creative Halloween Boba Recipes & Hacks

  • Boba as Brains: As mentioned, use gelatin mixtures in brain-shaped molds to create “brain” boba for your spooky drinks.
  • Gummy Boba: Add gummy candies like eyeballs or worms to your boba drinks for a playful and spooky effect.
  • Boba Bar: Create a DIY boba bar for your guests! Include flavored syrups, boba, and instructions for making their own spooky beverages at home.
