Trader Joe's Instant Boba Kit is an incredibly popular product that allows consumers to make delicious [boba tea drinks at home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubble-tea-home-kits). Now, Trader Joe's is working with the same Taiwanese supplier (the birthplace of boba) to launch a new, limited-time Tropical Green Tea Instant Boba Kit. This new kit contains four pouches of vegan, gluten-free, tapioca pearls in a sweet, [passion fruit and mango-flavored green tea](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tropical-paradise-flavours-of-summer) syrup. To prepare the kit, all you need to do is heat up the boba pearls in the microwave, place them in a glass, add ice, and then pour in your drink of choice – green tea, milk, coconut water, or just plain water.
