Let’s find out some of the most popular bubble tea toppings.

1. Tapioca Pearls (Also known as Tapioca balls, Boba balls, Boba, Pearls) -Tapioca pearls are the most common bubble tea topping. Tapioca pearls can be found in any bubble tea shop around the world. Tapioca pearls are made from tapioca starch and usually in black colour. Tapioca pearls add a chewy texture and sweet brown sugar flavour. Tapioca pearls from Boba Buzz is totally vegan-friendly all the ingredients are plant-based. 
   
   
   
2. Popping Bobas (Also known as Popping bubbles, Popping pearls, Juice balls, Bruising bobas) -   Popping bobas are small balls filled with fruit-flavoured syrup. When you bite into the popping boba, the fruit syrup inside will “pop” when bitten into it. The outside is made of a seaweed extract, creating a thin shiny coating. It’s not chewy like tapioca pearls and it’s more fun to eat. Popping bobas are not overly sweet and offer various flavours and colours.  Unlike tapioca pearls, popping bobas are premade products, no hassle to prepare anything just open the tub and it’s ready to serve! Not just adding in the bubble tea, also there are many ways to eat popping bobas, including smoothies, frozen yogurt, cocktails, mocktails, ice cream, or even on top of the pancake. Because of their attractive colour, flavour, and fun to eat, popping bobas is quickly becoming really popular and high demand. 
   
   
   
3. Jellies - Another popular bubble tea topping. It made of agar agar and fruit juice or some other flavour such as brown sugar, coffee, or original flavour. Some of them are made of coconut water (called Natate coco). Fruit jellies come in a variety of colour and flavour. It creates attractive colour, texture, and flavour for the drink. Like popping bobas, fruit jellies are premade products and can be added on any drinks and desserts.
