Two summers back, we brought the proverbial boba shop home with the introduction of our everyday Instant Boba Kit, and it’s remained a hot ticket in our freezers ever since. So much so, in fact, that when approached by a Taiwanese supplier with an opportunity to offer a limited-time, more Tropical-tasting Boba Kit, we lept at the chance! You’ll be leaping, too, as soon as you get your hands on a Trader Joe’s Tropical Green Tea Instant Boba Kit.

For about the same price you’d pay for a single boba drink at a café, our Tropical Green Tea Boba Kit contains four pouches of vegan, gluten-free, tapioca pearls in a sweet, passion fruit & mango-flavored green tea syrup, plus four wide-gauge paper straws to help you capture some of said pearls in every sip. The Boba pearls only take a minute in the microwave to heat up; from there, it’s just a matter of placing them into the bottom of  a glass, adding ice, and pouring in your beverage of choice, like milk, green tea, coconut beverage, or even just cold water—anything goes! Then sit back, take a sip, and enjoy the sweet, refreshing, texturally satisfying ride.
