Today’s our Shifen and Jiufen day in Taiwan! We had to transfer from the train to a bus on the way from Shifen to Jiufen, and in the meantime, we were parched and made a pit stop for a drink. 50Lan was nearby, so we just chose it on the way to the bus stop.… Continue reading Jasmine Tea (茉莉綠茶) – 50嵐
This was a yesterday drink, because I’m pretty behind on posting drinks when I’m drinking them. There’s no breaks on vacation…I actually didn’t have boba today, so here we are. Anyway, we spent the day in Taichung yesterday, and one of my bucket list items was to go to the Taiwan store of Chi Cha… Continue reading Osmanthus Oolong Tea (水仙桂花) – Chi Cha San Chen
This is also a yesterday’s yesterday drink, and also, that night’s drink. We ate a lot yesterday after browsing around Tainan (thanks to my cousin for being a really great local guide!), and after what I thought was dinner, we went out for part 2 at a xiao long bao place, dubbed the Ding Tai… Continue reading Pearl Red Tea Latte (珍珠紅茶拿鐵) – Cha Nung
I did not really have time to write a post about my two drinks yesterday, so here we are, back with another delayed drink post. Yesterday we went to Tainan to go hang out with my cousin! We went to go eat, and after looking around Hayashi Department Store, everyone was thirsty, so we got… Continue reading Mango Light Oolong Tea (芒果青茶) – True Boss
Today was a Ximending and surrounding area chill and walk around day! We ended up in Ximending in the early afternoon, and after walking around in the rain, we needed a drink after a savory lunch, and so I wanted to try out Goldfish. The menu is pretty extensive, with latte options for milk teas,… Continue reading Green Tea Latte (綠拿鐵) – Goldfish
Next up on posts I didn’t have time for yesterday, is my evening drink, and my first boba of the Taiwan trip! We ended up getting to the hotel late, and we had to go out for some real food on first night! And, on the way, I had to get boba. Seems like most… Continue reading Boba Milk Tea (珍珠奶茶) – Come Buy Tea
Pardon, but this was yesterday’s drink number 1 (yes, there’s another). Yesterday as a busy travel day, as I headed to Taiwan for the second time this year! On the way to get my early lunch, I stopped by Gong Cha for boba, because I thought I’d get into Taipei a bit late, and just… Continue reading Pear and Berry Milk Tea (洋梨ベリーミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Today I took my new neighbor on a central Sapporo day tour! We walked around, saw all the Sapporo basics around the station area, and I ended the trip with boba for the bus ride home. We were already at the bus stop, and Gong Cha was the closest. The new “seasonal” option doesn’t come… Continue reading Crunchy Matcha Milk Tea (サクサク抹茶 ミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Today I spent the day in Sapporo, doing some eating, casual shopping, and seeing what was up locally (it’s summer, which means it’s festival season!). I ended the day this time with a bit of a surprise boba twist, as I still had items to get at my usual places, but wanted to recheck and… Continue reading Tapioca Iced Milk Tea (タピオカ入りアイスミルクティ) – Bund Cafe
I’m heading home from my brief short vacation to Furano today! I left early in the morning to make a stop in Sapporo for lunch, pick up boba, and then go home. Today, I’m actually getting boba from Tsutsumiya, a small crepe shop in the Daimaru department store Kiyokocho. I actually stumbled upon the fact… Continue reading Roasted Iron Kannon Tapioka Milk Tea (焙煎鉄観音タピオカミルクティー) – Tsutsumiya
