Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a large pot.
Add the tapioca pearls to the boiling water, stirring gently to prevent them from clumping.
Cook the tapioca pearls according to the package instructions, typically about 25 minutes, until they are soft and chewy.
Drain the cooked tapioca pearls and rinse them with cold water. Set aside in a small bowl.
If desired, mix 1 tablespoon of honey with the tapioca pearls to sweeten them.
In a blender, combine pineapple juice, coconut milk, cooled black tea, the remaining tablespoon of honey (if using), and ice cubes.
Blend until smooth and frothy.
Divide the cooked tapioca pearls evenly between two tall glasses.
Pour the blended pina colada mixture over the tapioca pearls in each glass.
Garnish each glass with a pineapple chunk on the rim for a tropical touch.
Serve immediately with a wide straw and enjoy your Pina Colada Bubble Tea!
