Sweet Boba Mochi Snacks

Trader Joe's Brown Sugar Boba Mochi are Made in the Boba Capital

— April 6, 2024 — Lifestyle
Both boba and mochi are surging in popularity and now you can enjoy both at the same time in the form of Trader Joe's new Brown Sugar Boba Mochi.

Featuring the distinctive flavor of boba and the chewy texture of mochi, the new Brown Sugar Boba Mochi are the ultimate hybrid snack. The product is created for Trader Joe's in Taiwan – the country that birthed boba – by a supplier who specializes in the tapioca pearls. To create the hybrid snack, the supplier takes individual, caramelized- brown sugar-flavored boba pearls, wraps them in a creamy coating, and then adds a Japanese-style rice-based mochi wrapper on the outside. The result is a snack that's soft and chewy, with a gooey center that's pursuing with brown sugar flavors.
