Black tapioca pearls in a 3kg bag, the bulk size. About 75 servings at 40g dry, cooked the same way as the small bags: 25 to 30 minutes at a boil, 15 minutes resting off the heat, a cold rinse, then a soak in sugar syrup until they are served.
Cook it a pan at a time. Cooked pearls are at their best within 4 hours and go hard in the fridge, so a 3kg bag is meant to be worked through in batches, not cooked in one go. Out of the pan the pearls are glossy black, soft on the outside with a springy bite, and with 0 g of sugars per 100g they carry the flavour of the syrup rather than any of their own.
For one household the 1kg bag is the everyday size and the 200g bag is a first cook. A shop that would rather skip the boil can use the case of 50 instant 50g sachets, one drink a sachet in under 5 minutes.
Pair with a brown sugar syrup for the soak and milk tea powder for the drink.
Bring a large pan of water to a rolling boil, about 7 times the volume of the pearls. Add the pearls, stir until they float, then boil for 25 to 30 minutes with the lid on, stirring now and then. Turn off the heat and leave them for 15 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water, then soak in sugar syrup or brown sugar syrup until you serve. Use within 4 hours and do not refrigerate.

A topping on its own is a topping. These turn it into a bubble tea.
