Similar experience but I warned them about the pearls and told them they can go for something else (natto, coffee jelly, etc) if they didn’t want to try it. What suprised them instead was the sweetness. I told them it was gonna be sweet and to maybe try 50% sugar to start with, and they still found it incredibly sweet. Apparently they were expecting more tea than a dessert.

You can just get it without the pearls, they aren’t mandatory.
I know. I just told them they can try it if they want, but it’s optional.
