Today I made a bus trip to Sapporo! I went with my friend the other day and it was a lot of fun, and today I made the trip myself. I explored a bit, stayed a bit in the station, and of course, now to get boba. I was deciding between Gong Cha or The… Continue reading Alishan Oolong Milk Tea (阿里山ありさん ウーロン ミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Alright, ready for some mediocre boba? Today my friend invited me out for some mediocre boba. Yes, she absolutely did not recommend it, describing it as worse than the boba you get from pho places (if you know what I mean). My town does not officially have any boba shops, but has a couple that… Continue reading Brown Sugar Matcha Tapioca (黒糖抹茶タピオカ)
I come to Japan and move in to the rural countryside so you might think I’m dead for a while…well I have some content that still needs to be written and published, and also, you just gotta do what you gotta do to adapt the blog you know? Now boba might be hard to come… Continue reading Royal Milk Tea (ローヤルミルクティー) – 紅茶花伝
Today’s my first full day in Japan! I landed last night, but my group of friends were too tired yesterday to go to anything, so I’m going out for the first time today. There was a group this morning that went to go get boba, but they went real early since the store opens at… Continue reading “Bonsai” Garden Milk Tea – The Alley Lujiaoxiang
Today's my last day in town before my flight tomorrow (let's pray nothing happens between then)! Getting my boba fix in will probably be quite difficult where I'm going, so I'm getting my last drink at home before I leave...My sister has volunteering today, so the prefect place to get a pick up would be… Continue reading Taro Storm – Tea Maru
This morning my sister and her friend had a meetup in Long Beach and my dad chaperoned them. Conveniently, the original Loose Leaf store was around the corner from where the meet-up was, and my mom asked my dad to bring home a drink. It wasn't too far of a trip, and my dad brought… Continue reading Strawberry Matcha Latte – Loose Leaf Boba Company
I got an email this morning that I had a Grubhub promo code expiring tomorrow for $10 off a $20 subtotal. At first I offered it to my boyfriend, but he didn't want it, so I was thinking...this promo is a pretty good deal. Ever since I saw Loose Leaf's Santa Ana location as a… Continue reading Ali Shan Oolong – Loose Leaf Boba Company
This morning my mom took me to get a facial, and since I needed to go get some things from South Coast Plaza, we stopped there before heading home. Since South Coast is in Costa Mesa, I figured it’d be a good chance to go to Boba Guys right down the street. My mom agreed,… Continue reading Tie Guan Yin Oolong – Boba Guys
My sister was craving the freeze-dried strawberries from Trader Joe's, so to get her out of the house and spend some time with her, we went on a Trader Joe’s run together. Trader Joe's is right next to Omomo, and since we finished our shopping right when they opened (and the line wasn't too long!)… Continue reading Four Seasons Tea – Omomo Tea Shoppe
My mom had a doctor’s appointment today, and I tagged along to hang out and go look at some things in the area (which include the Tiger Sugar, and we’re both definitely getting a drink!). I’m onto the next latte, and I’ve been meaning to try their golden oolong for a while. And here we… Continue reading Golden Oolong Tea Latte Cream Mousse – Tiger Sugar
