Here’s to our weekly Russian session! This week we met up at Lollicup, which understandably took down all of its outside seating, so we did our study session out of the way near the back of this plaza. I'll make a post on Lollicup as a whole soon, but man, I've been coming to this… Continue reading Thai Tea Slush – Lollicup
I very much love 7 Leaves, but this is more of a recent phenomenon. 7 Leaves has been relatively around for a while in my area, but for whatever reason I didn't get drinks there. One reason was probably because it had a lot of hype (and I usually stay away from the places everyone… Continue reading Taste the Leaf – 7 Leaves Cafe
After trying Oolong from 7 Leaves, I swear I'm not on an Oolong kick. Sometimes when I look at the Omomo menu I feel like I want everything yet nothing at the same time...weird feeling for a boba place. There's a whole bunch of drinks I want to try, from the milk teas to the… Continue reading Oolong Milk Tea – Omomo Tea Shoppe
Happy Fourth of July! Happy (supposed) Birthday America! Am I a proper patriotic citizen now? We let my sister "choose" the place today, but since she's not as familiar with the names of the stores, we asked her what drink she wanted, since she basically has a go-to drink per place. She requested the drink… Continue reading Oolong Milk Tea- 7 Leaves Cafe
Today I met up with some friends, because socializing in times of safely social distancing is important and digital meetups can't really replace real life socializing you know? We're studying Russian over the summer, and practicing the language in real life also helps a lot more than studying digitally. There's just something about it. Today… Continue reading Mango Mojito – Redstraw Tea Bar
Ok, so I don't know if there's some actual science to shaking specifically 17 times, but hey, Sunright Tea Studio says to do it and I've been shaking a lot, so I hope it actually does something. I actually haven't been having that much Sunright, but I'm a big fan of their drinks for the… Continue reading Shake 17 Times – Sunright Tea Studio
Another big fad floating around the internet and society lately is boba ice cream! Most places you'll see brown sugar boba flavor, because that's the biggest trend in the boba drink world right now and an identifiable flavor. I wouldn't be surprised if milk tea was another flavor being produced, but I have yet to… Continue reading Brown Sugar Boba Ice Cream Bar – Xiao Mei (小美)
Happy Chinese Dragon Boat Festival! Most (if not all I think?) Chinese holidays, or festivals or celebrations or whatever synonym you want to use, have a certain food associated with them that you eat on that day. There's usually a purpose or meaning to them too, but I'm a bad ABC and forgotten most of… Continue reading Matcha Soy Tea- 7 Leaves Cafe
Omomo opened their newest location this past weekend and they're currently on a soft opening, so hopefully with two locations in Irvine the line will die down at the other one! In any case, my dad went out today, and thought about stopping by Omomo, and I am always down for a drink, so of… Continue reading Camo Thai – Omomo Tea Shoppe
My parents had plans to go to Cream Pan (a local Japanese bakery that rocks), so I asked them to stop by HNTea for a drink. I haven't had HNTea for a while, and I think I've been low-key missing their drinks. I would probably go more often, but the parking there is horrendous and… Continue reading Mountain Rock Tea Latte – HNTea
