Qbubble Tea Powder Taro Powder, 2.2 Pound

Hey, everybody! Extreme researcher and mixologist here, so I looked for the best Taro in the business - this is what I've landed pretty solidly on! I've experimented with a bunch of different bases, so here is how it will work with your favorite milk ... * cow's milk: 4/5. best with honey as a natural sweetener, the level of creaminess depends on your milk (whole vs skim vs half & half) * almond milk: 5/5. great creaminess and taste balance! Easiest to work with across different providers (translation: you'd get consistent results no matter what brand of almond milk you use) * oat milk: 5/5. my personal favorite! wonderful creaminess and taste balance, especially with a bit of added sweetness (I recommend agave) * soy milk: 3/5. wouldn't recommend 100% as soy is too creamy for this Taro to fully dissolve, and it will be difficult to taste Okay, now with these bases we start to get into some of the "chalky" notes some reviewers have mentioned ... I'd say these bases a produce a "powderier" effect, but again this is COMPLETELY dissuaded by picking a milk-based base. * milk powder: 3/5. Tried this for going camping. Not everything dissolves since the water is over-saturated, even when boiled. Still has a bit of creaminess to it, though! * chai concentrate: 3/5. Why in the world did I try this? I'm a bit crazy, that's why. This taste is VERY different, and the color changes, but it is comparably thick to the milk (and substitute) based samples. * chai powder: 2/5. Tried for camping again, does add a bit of creaminess but still changes the color and tasting notes, as well as not dissolving completely (like the milk powder). * water-based tea: 2/5. if you plan to make TRADITIONAL, then this powder may not work for you as it is clearly meant for mainstream (westernized) production, but that is literally the ONLY contingency; in this case, the color is less vibrant (think: mulberry) and has a bit of a powdery aftertaste * water: 3/5. Color doesn't change this time, but you still get a bit of that aftertaste. Okay, crazy over-testing aside, this was the best quality for the price I could find (keep an eye on pricing trends as it will experience spikes). A whole bag gets me through ~46 drinks (1 cup + ice, not venti), so would definitely recommend. Let me know if you have any questions or want photo references for the comparable bases! Bottom line: Get this. Easy to work with on milk-like bases and has a naturally delicious flavor, especially with the recommended honey or agave!

I love this stuff. I feel like the majority of shops use taro powder similar to this. Obviously not the authentic places… I agree with the others that say you need to experiment to get your favorite. Everyone has different tastes. I have a local dairy in my town that sells this vanilla milk that is out of this world. So my perfect mix is starting out with 3 tablespoons of the powder mixed with a couple ounces of water (honestly, I measure both with my heart and not so much actual measuring spoons). I use my little mixer frothy thing to spin it around until it’s blended. Then I add the vanilla milk goodness to it and plop a couple pieces of ice just to keep it somewhat chilled. I will occasionally add boba, but for me, I usually prefer it without. The only negative thing I have to say is I very much dislike the artificial coloring that’s added. Unfortunately, that’s so common, so I deal with it. I didn’t feel like it needed a star knocked off for that because again, are you really in America if you don’t consume artificial colors daily? One other thing to note is apparently there is a lot of caffeine in it. I couldn’t find that on the packaging but saw it in the description after I looked when I noticed I got the zoomies each time I drank it. So be careful if you’re sensitive to caffeine.

Very tasty and I can pretty much mimic the flavor from my local bubble tea store. It's quite sweet and not very healthy, but it's a perfect treat! Easy to make and great when paired with cooked tapioca pearls.

Tasted good, smelled like chemicals but after reviewing the ingredients it should be fine Just do not drink this everyday unless you want to develop diabetes.

Good flavor and color

We love this powder! I had my first "Taro" Bubble Tea last Saturday with my husband at a new local Asian restaurant. The food was delicious and when we went to get desserts we saw the Taro Bubble Tea. I had watched a YouTube video by Angel Wong the morning of and since I adore Angel I told my husband we had to try. We got one and it was positively delicious, so we ordered another. I told him when we get home I'm going to order the Taro powder Angel recommend on her vblog. He said get two bags because we're going to be drinking this at least twice a day (the bag does not come with instructions on how to prepare). I ordered with Prime, we got it Sunday. How I make Taro tea - take 8 oz of milk (16 oz for 2 teas). Bring the milk to a simmer on the stove top in a sauce pan. Add 2-3 tablespoons of this Taro Powder (because my husband likes it sweet I use 3, I can get away with just 3 teaspoons). Stir until powder is dissolved, make take a few minutes as the powder sinks to the bottom of the sauce pan. Pour over ice (cold for hubby) or in a mug (hot for me). I only use the Boba on weekends as I usually make coconut boba tea. We are addicted! We have at least one Taro tea a day, but I made it for my husband three times yesterday, morning, lunch, after dinner. I use the warm milk to dissolving as the consistency of this powder is like sugar. Smells delicious! How I make Peaks milk powder milk (love this stuff, so creamy, I make a 32 oz batch three time a week and keep it in the fridge). Take 3 heaping tablespoons of milk powder to 32 oz of hot water (this is why mine is so creamy, you can get away with 2 tablespoons). Put the milk powder/water in a large mason jar, seal the lid and shake it up for about 3 minutes. Unscrew the lid some and let cool on the counter for about 1/2 hour, then screw the lid back on and shake it for a few seconds, seal the mason jar and put it in the fridge to chill - its the only milk I can stomach as Lactaid milk and milk period makes me sick. Its what I use for coffee creamer, tea creamer, cereal, custards, cakes, bread, etc.
