Wow, today is a bad luck boba day. 🙁 It would seem I might be talking about Orobae too much around the house (I don't think so, but apparently so) because my mom was talking about getting Orobae today, and I was much surprised, considering she's had not-so-great experiences, but I keep wanting to go… Continue reading Sea Cream Jasmine Tea – 7 Leaves Cafe
We met up again at Redstraw for our weekly Russian study session. Today we did some Cyrillic (the Russian alphabet) review by writing English sentences phonetically in Cyrillic, and talked about our future language plans (ambitious, I know, but what can I do when I'm an aspiring polyglot?)! Even though I'm learning Russian, I actually… Continue reading Japanese Cherry Sakura – Redstraw Tea Bar
Yes I had boba yesterday. Doesn't mean I can't have one today... So yesterday I was mulling over boba after having 7 Leaves, and I realized yesterday would have been the perfect opportunity to try out Yoyo Tea Shoppe (post coming soon!), a new place that opened about a month ago. I thought to myself,… Continue reading Brûlée Yoyo – Yoyo Tea Shoppe
Here's a story (which I promise is relevant): So my dad got an email about a week ago for a coupon with HNTea, and asked if we wanted HNTea this weekend, and I'm always down for boba so I said yes! (Spoilers, we didn't get HNTea.) Turns out, the coupon code expired yesterday, but my… Continue reading Summer Mint – 7 Leaves Cafe
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
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
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
