Happy Saint Patrick's Day! You know it's a special day when Orobae has a (relatively) short line! 🙂 I think my parents went to the plaza it's located in, and since they saw the line was not that long, they decided to get a drink today. Haven't had Orobae in a while, partly because like… Continue reading Hokkaido Roasted Oolong Milk Tea – Orobae
This week is Finals week, and I took a Sociolinguistics class this past quarter. For our final, we had to write a report on a topic of our own choosing and conduct our own research. I was trying to decide what linguistic variable I wanted to investigate, and I did feel I preferred a lexical… Continue reading A Boba Sociolinguistics Report
Here’s to another Trader Joe’s trip with the father figure! Apparently, Trader Joe’s and recently come out with a new boba item - coffee boba ice cream. That sounds cool and all, but why coffee? Why not milk tea? It's so popular that they're limiting 1 per family, and they were sold out when I… Continue reading One Zo Fruit Tea – One Zo
So recently my laptop has been acting a little funky with the battery, which I guess might be kind of normal since I’ve had it for three years now, but still a little odd, you know? I normally would be fine with it, but since I’ve been video editing for work, lately I feel like… Continue reading Brown Sugar Deerioca Creme Brûlée Milk – The Alley
My dad found or came across another boba pick-up delivery form from a place called Soma. I searched it up, and apparently it's a store im Artesia that's won a bunch of awards from Taiwan for its tea and drinks. What was a little odd was that the pick-up location was at a local high… Continue reading Signature Milk Tea – Soma Tea & Mocktail
You might have seen One Zo somewhere online because of their main selling point: they make all their boba fresh in house with different flavors, and the stores display all the fancy equipment. None of that popping "boba" BS, their other flavored boba is actually boba. Yes, I was very hyped the first time I… Continue reading Handmade Boba – One Zo
We’re back at our weekend morning Trader Joe’s run, this time at the one next to Omomo. This week, my mom specifically requested we get Omomo since she felt like she hadn’t had it in a while. To be precise, the last time we got it was January 31, so it may have been a… Continue reading Thai Iced Milk Tea – Omomo Tea Shoppe
Our (kind of) weekly Wushiland (technically) Wednesday orders are back! Well, we orderd for Wednesday and it was picked up yesterday, but I saved mine for today again, so I could have it in the morning. What was nice this time around was that the order form defaulted to No Ice when there wasn't an… Continue reading Roasted Oolong Milk Tea – Wushiland Boba
This morning my parents went to Rowland Heights to pick up some food goods, and they brought back drinks with them! I have yet to explore the boba scene in depth there, but I have heard of some good shops around the place. According to Yelp there's a ton of shops there too for obvious… Continue reading Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea – Ten Ren’s Tea Time
Today's a great day for boba, because I (technically) have class until 11:30 tonight because I'm doing a 10-day online study abroad program with a Japanese University, and obviously the session is in Japan time. Luckily, it's not too late on my end, but staring at a computer screen for hours straight does take a… Continue reading Assam Milk Tea (#2) – 7 Leaves Cafe
