Today Russian Wednesdays are back at Redstraw! We read about Russian saunas today, banyas, amidst this very hot weather. And very hot weather is the best occasion for a drink! Today I went for Redstraw's Osmanthus Oolong, which I noticed on their menu after I found out about Omomo's. For some reason, because of Omomo's… Continue reading Osmanthus Oolong – Redstraw Tea Bar
Today my dad decided to get me some post-workout boba from 7 Leaves. I was suspicious, and I am 99.9% sure it's because he wants me to make him overnight oats. Don't worry Dad, I will (sooner or later). 😉 For anyone that actually cares, I'm just about almost finished with my "Reviewing the drinks… Continue reading Japanese Matcha Tea (#2) – 7 Leaves Cafe
I feel like I haven't had Omomo in forever, which is probably because Omomo always has such a long line no matter the time or day that it demotivates any of us to go. When I heard that they opened up online ordering for the Walnut location, I thought that was great news. Then I… Continue reading Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea – Omomo Tea Shoppe
For anyone that cares, today is Russian Friday at Orobae. Why Friday? What happened to Wednesday? Well, that was just a rescheduling on both my and my friend's part. We also went for Orobae today because everyone can always use a Daiso run, which is next door. The air has been pretty bad lately too,… Continue reading Gyokuro Green Milk Tea – Orobae
This weekend reached the 100s for some reason, so it's a perfect time for boba! Today I'm finally trying my sister's favorite "bloody" drink, the Strawberry Hibiscus Tea from 7 Leaves. I'm not sure when she started calling it by that name, but it's probably a combination of the looks the drink (when no ice… Continue reading Strawberry Hibiscus Tea – 7 Leaves Cafe
On today's episode of Russian Wednesdays, we're at Spiritea again! Today my friend and I went over a passage from a Russian learning website I found to practice reading and comprehension. We read about Russian bears. At the end of it, there was a joke (about a bear), but neither of us understood why it… Continue reading Mango Cloudtea – Spiritea
Oh my God, today's the last day of August! I think we were going to get a drink yesterday because my sister was craving her "bloody drink", but then it ended up getting late in the afternoon so we put it off for today... And here we are! I feel like I say this every… Continue reading Taro Milk Tea – 7 Leaves Cafe
Alright, you probably know what Milk Tea is (or at least can guess), but entertain my post if you will...I'm no tea expert, so this post is "milk tea" in relation to the world of boba (of which I'm not expert either)! Anyway, the easy answer would be: any milk + any tea. And you're… Continue reading What’s (Black) Milk Tea?
It's Russian Redstraw Wednesday! Well, Wednesday doesn't start with an R, but none of the days of the week do... Today we went over daily vocabulary, including meals, clothing, and routine verbs. I was telling my friend how I finally unlocked "girlfriend" on Duolingo after learning "boyfriend" a few lessons ago, and a lady (safely)… Continue reading Grapefruit Punch – Redstraw Tea Bar
Sometime last week I signed up on the Tastea rewards app because I saw a code for a free drink online, and I thought I could save the coupon for a time when I want to try Tastea in the future. Little did I know at the time that the coupon would have an expiration… Continue reading Winter Melon Green Milk Tea – Tastea
