Our Tapioca uses 100% tapioca flour, this is really the key to getting the right texture or as Taiwanese people call it “Q”. “Q” or “QQ” refers to the chewiness and softness of food, it is seen as soft but still containing a bite and us boba chefs strive to get the right amount of Q in our boba – neither too chewy or too soft. To do this we use nothing but pure tapioca flour as opposed to potato starch or other starches used for increased stability. Another important step is how you cook your boba. At Sugar and Spice we love dark dark sugar and molasses and this is what we will cook our boba in before putting them in the drink. This deep flavour compliments the boba well adding a flavour that is not only sweet but also rich and deep.
