Begin by cooking the tapioca pearls. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
Add 1 cup of tapioca pearls to the boiling water. Stir the pearls gently to prevent them from sticking.
Cook the tapioca pearls for 25 to 30 minutes or until they are translucent and chewy, stirring occasionally.
Once the pearls are cooked, remove them from heat and drain them using a fine mesh strainer. Rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process, then set aside.
In a blender, combine the chopped mango, coconut milk, mango juice, and ice cubes. Blend on high speed until smooth.
Taste the mango mixture and add honey if desired for additional sweetness. Blend again to incorporate the honey.
To assemble the bubble tea, divide the cooked tapioca pearls between two glasses.
Pour the mango milk tea mixture over the pearls, filling each glass.
Insert wide straws and serve immediately for the best texture of the tapioca pearls.
