We're back at Redstraw to study some more Russian (or, we studied outside and got Redstraw boba)! Today we went over a variety of small topics, including pronouns, question words, vocabulary, and others. Why must Russian have so many cases? Anyway, recently I've been looking forward to trying more drinks on the menu when we… Continue reading Peach Bellini – Redstraw Tea Bar
Alright, no special occasion today other than another hot, summer day. Which is always a great occasion for boba. Seriously though, we've been ordering so much 7 Leaves that I'm pretty sure I'm going to run out of things to try on the menu (that I'm interested in trying) or that I haven't written about… Continue reading Japanese Matcha Tea – 7 Leaves Cafe
I finally get to have Orobae again and try the Rising Phoenix, and then I go and self-induce a traumatic moment for myself. More on that later. At least I can finally update my Orobae post. We're back for another Russian study session! Today I presented telling time in Russian to my friends, and let… Continue reading Rising Phoenix Milk Tea – Orobae
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
