On January 22, I was on my way back to NorCal for grad school! It was an very rainy day, but HeyTea happened to be doing a BOGO promo for their new King Jasmine and pistachio cloud drink. In theory, it worked out: get a drink right when they open, head over to the airport,… Continue reading Pistachio Cloud King Jasmine – HeyTea
On January 21, I hung out with a friend at Irvine Spectrum! We had a chill hangout, grabbing lunch together, walking around and doing some window and real shopping, before parting ways.

January 19 was a pretty busy day: I ran some errands with my parents, tried a new local bakery, got boba with my sister, and then dropped her off at school for the spring semester.

January 18 was a chill day. My family went out to dinner, but during the day, my sister and I went to Bako! Next up on my milk tea list was the roasted oolong.

Although there's a… Continue reading Supreme Matcha Latte – HeyTea

On January 13, I dropped my sister off at her friend's house for a hangout. On the way there, we stopped by TPTea for boba!

My family came to pick me up, and… Continue reading Velvet Snow Jasmine Fresh Milk Tea – TP Tea
