“★★★★★
"Swapping out imported bagged boba for Bobalicious 3.5kg bulk buckets reduced our back-of-house prep time to zero across 40 franchises. The resealable tamper-evident pails keep the pearls submerged in stable fructose syrup so every scoop bursts cleanly without clouding."

“★★★★★
"The 3.5kg pails are an absolute workhorse for our 14 dessert parlours. Peach & Strawberry and Mango & Melon hold their firm spherification skin under chilled display conditions all day without dissolving into the waffle or frozen yogurt base."

"Pallet stacking stability on these 3.5kg buckets is exceptional. Four tiers per euro pallet with rigid reinforced lids meant zero crushed containers across 12 container loads imported this season."

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers regarding commercial portioning, shelf life, and international logistics for 3.5kg buckets.
1How many drink servings does one 3.5kg bucket yield?
+
Each 3.5kg bucket yields approximately 70 to 90 commercial bubble tea servings based on standard cafe portioning of 40g to 50g of drained popping pearls per drink. This generous yield significantly lowers cost-per-serving compared to pre-packaged retail formats.
2What is the shelf life and handling instructions after opening?
+
Bobalicious 3.5kg buckets have an ambient unopened shelf life of 24 months from production. Once opened, reseal the bucket securely with its airtight lid and store refrigerated (4°C – 8°C). For maximum fresh fruit flavour and popping texture, consume within 14 to 21 days.
3What is the master carton configuration and container loading capacity?
+
Buckets are packed 4 units per heavy-duty master carton (Gross Weight: ~15.2 kg; Carton Dimensions: 38 x 38 x 25 cm). A 20ft container accommodates approximately 1,000 cartons (~4,000 buckets), while a 40ft container holds approximately 2,000 cartons (~8,000 buckets).
4Are Bobalicious popping pearls suitable for vegan, vegetarian, and Halal menus?
+
Yes. All Bobalicious popping pearls are 100% plant-based and 100% gelatin-free. The translucent spherification skin is formed using natural seaweed extract (sodium alginate) and food-grade calcium salts. All products are certified Halal, vegan-friendly, and gluten-free.
5Can distributors mix different flavour buckets within a single pallet or container?
+
Yes. We support custom mixed pallets across all four standard flavours (Mango & Melon, Peach & Strawberry, Pineapple & Orange, Passion Fruit with Tropical) with full carton increments (4 buckets per carton). Container orders can be consolidated with our canned, bottled, or cup formats.
