Tapioca Pearl Premix Series : FAQ

Q1: Why choose "Tapioca Pearl Premix" over ready-to-use (wet) pearls?

A: The primary advantages are Freshness and Brand Image.

Freshness: Locally made pearls are free from preservatives, and their water retention (Q-texture) is far superior to pre-made pearls that have undergone long-distance shipping.

Marketing Value: Live demonstrations of kneading and molding pearls strengthen customer trust in the brand’s "Handmade & Natural" commitment.

Customization: Brands can use our Original Premix to develop seasonal specialties like Sakura or Peach, creating market differentiation.



Q2: How can I ensure handmade pearls are consistent in size and roundness?

A: Manual rolling inevitably leads to variation. We strongly recommend using the PG150 Tabletop Automatic Pearl Machine.
This equipment uses high-precision cutting technology to produce 16–22 kg per hour of perfectly uniform and spherical pearls. Consistent size ensures even cooking, preventing the "soft outside, hard inside" issue and achieving standardized quality.



Q3: Why do flavored powders like Brown Sugar or Roasted Sweet Potato feel stickier during operation?

A: This is due to the natural sugars or fruit powders in the formula.
If the dough feels sticky, you can slightly adjust the hot water ratio. When using the PG150 Machine, its stainless steel body and Dough Guide Sheet minimize sticking, allowing for hands-free feeding. After production, the Screw-free Sieve allows for rapid cleaning to keep the equipment pristine.



Q4: How do I maintain the "Q-texture" for a long time without the pearls hardening?

A: The key lies in "Moisture Retention" and "Glazing Temperature."

Our premix contains a long-lasting moisture-retention formula, ensuring pearls stay soft for up to 4 hours in iced drinks.

Pro Tip: After cooking and steeping, rinse the pearls with cold water (thermal shock) to remove excess starch before glazing them with brown sugar or honey. Keeping them at room or warm temperature best delays starch retrogradation (hardening).



Q5: How is safety managed during live handmade demonstrations?

A: Safety is our top priority.
The PG150 Machine is specifically designed for store environments and features an "Auto-Power Off Safety Door." Whether performing a demo with Original, Sakura, or Peach pearls, the machine stops instantly if the door is opened, ensuring maximum protection for staff.



Q6: What is the difference in storage between Original and Flavored (Sakura, Peach) powders?

A: Both come in 1KG bags with a standard shipping unit of 20 Bags per Carton.

Since flavored powders contain natural extracts and aromas, we recommend using them promptly after opening and ensuring they are tightly sealed in a cool, dry place (Shelf life: 12 months).

The small-bag design helps stores precisely manage inventory and avoids the quality issues caused by humidity in larger bulk packaging.



Q7: Is this powder suitable for developing "Dual-Color" or "Stuffed" pearls?

A: Absolutely.
Our premix offers excellent ductility. You can prepare two different doughs—such as Original (White) and Sakura (Pink)—and use the PG150's stable output to experiment with visual combinations, creating Instagrammable signature drinks for your brand.



Q8: Is there a lot of waste from "NG" (Not Good) pearls during machine production?

A: Not at all.
The PG150 is equipped with a Built-in NG Collector that automatically gathers imperfectly shaped pearls. These can be cleanly collected and rekneaded into the dough for re-production, achieving 100% material utilization and saving costs for B2B clients.
