On May 22, my sister and I went out to get boba at Bako! Not much else to the start of my summer really... It was 4pm when we went (not to mention a little bit of a drive!), so I opted for a drink that is lower in caffeine, the genmaicha! It's a loose… Continue reading Genmaicha Latte – Bako Tea House
On May 20th, my friend drove me home from Northern California, since she's also from Southern California. We set out at 6am (doesn't help I went to bed at 2am the night before, oops) and arrived by noon, the only good part about leaving early! My sister had a doctor's appointment that afternoon, and after… Continue reading Camellia Oolong Milk Tea – Bopomofo Cafe
On March 21st, I hung out with my boyfriend's family. I was at my boyfriend's place staying over the weekend before going back to school post-spring break. I went out to lunch with his family at a Korean place, and across the street we spotted a shop called Mew Tea. My boyfriend wanted boba after… Continue reading Jasmine Green Milk Tea – Mew Tea
March 20th was our last day in Taiwan. After checking out of our hotel, my family went to go eat dim sum, and then while my parents went to eat some shaved ice, I took my sister to a Wushiland. I didn't get a drink, because I figured we'd get one later at the airport...Our… Continue reading Honey Peach Oolong Tea w/ boba (波霸水蜜桃烏龍) – Mazu Village
After our shaved ice on March 19th, my sister and I split off from our family to do our own shopping thing. During our adventures, we stopped by a proper Taiwanese TP Tea, so a double post for the day! No real drink yet of the day after all. I've never had TP Tea in… Continue reading Osmanthus Tieguanyin Tea Latte with Pearls (金桂觀音珍珠拿鐵) – TP Tea
On March 17, my family took a daytrip to Taichung! I went before with my friend, but it was the first time with family. For me, it was half old and new itinerary, and we were mostly excited about Chi Cha San Chen, the only Taiwan location! Boba was our second stop of the day… Continue reading Dong Ding Oolong Tea (凍頂烏龍) – Chi Cha San Chen
A double post, since I did have double boba! Granted, the first boba half of the day wasn't at a proper boba shop, but then again (spoiler!), the second boba half isn't a real boba shop either anyway. Besides, we're in Taiwan, a double boba can't hurt anyone, in moderation of course. My boba shop… Continue reading Golden Buddha Silk Boba (粉粿鐵觀音鮮奶茶) – Odd One Out
On March 16, my family went to Ajoy, one of Taiwan's bougie-est buffet restaurants located at the top of Taipei 101 for brunch. My parents had been before and loved the experience, and wanted to take us. You can probably surmise why it's here on the blog...as expected of Taiwan, they have boba. Specifically, in… Continue reading Red Oolong Milk Tea with Tapioca Pearls (紅烏龍珍珠鮮奶茶) – Ajoy
On March 15, my family went out to eat at a beef noodle soup place for lunch, as you do in Taiwan. Nearby was Man Man Dian, a boba place I've been meaning to try out. I saw it recommended in a YouTube video, and the last time I came, they hadn't opened yet (oops).… Continue reading Oolong Tea Latte (烏龍拿鐵) – Man Man Dian
March 14 was my first official day of spring break! This year, I was headed to Taiwan for a family trip, as my sister's spring break happened to be the same week as mine. We arrived at 5am in Taiwan, and after the usual airport shenanigans, we dropped off our stuff at our hotel and… Continue reading Roasted Tie-guan-yin Oolong Fresh Milk Tea (吾悠鐵觀音鮮奶茶) – Woo Yo Tea
