Here's the second of the two Gong Cha 7/11 bottled drink collaboration! The second of the two bottles is a fruity tea, as opposed to the other milk tea. This one is made with sweet, juicy yellow peach, and Alishan Oolong Tea from Taiwan. The amount of fruit juice in here is 1%. The drink… Continue reading Alishan Ooolong Peach Tea-ade (阿里山烏龍ピーチティーエード) – Gong Cha
I’m in Sapporo this weekend to see a concert! As my afternoon snack, I went to Gong Cha for boba. As of a few days ago, they rereleased the gingerbread man bottle series! I didn’t get one last year, and wanted to get it as soon as possible this time around. Like the Heartful bottle,… Continue reading Gingerbread Man Strawberry Alishan Oolong Milk Tea (ジンジャーブレッドマン ストロベリー阿里山ミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Today I went to Shiraoi to check out the National Ainu Museum, Upopoy! I would have gotten boba there…except it seems like there isn’t any local boba at all. This made a good chance to get boba again in Sapporo, especially to check back at The Alley, another place I haven’t been to in a… Continue reading Grape Yogurt Smoothie with Tea (葡萄のティーグルト) – The Alley
Today’s a casual Saturday Sapporo trip, running around doing some shopping and eating seasonal foods. I was planing on ending my day with boba from The Tea, but it seems as of August 22, they closed this location and are moving to Cocono, opening on September 12. This was a bit of a plot twist,… Continue reading Earl Grey Milk Tea (アールグレイミルクティー) – Gong Cha
I did not expect to be in Sapporo this soon after my Taiwan trip, but one of my friends will be leaving Japan soon, and I likely won’t see her for a while. Today we had a casual hangout, and after saying our goodbyes, I got boba for the bus ride home. After my drink… Continue reading Blue Hawaii Milk Tea (ブルーハワイミルクティー) – Gong Cha
This is my last boba of my Taiwan trip before heading back to Japan, and was the boba I got yesterday morning at the airport. Our flight was pretty early in the morning, but luckily, I did my research, and it seems both proper boba shops are open from 6am. These are definitely my top… Continue reading Black Tea Latte (紅茶拿鐵) – Chun Sui Tang
Today’s our last full day in Taiwan! We spent the day just chilling, and hanging out around the Daan and Yongkang area. We got breakfast in the morning, and a boba place I wanted to try was coincidentally around the corner, so to cool off from the heat, we got some boba in the morning.… Continue reading Red Oolong Fresh Milk Tea (吾蜜烏龍) – Woo Yo Tea
Today’s our Shifen and Jiufen day in Taiwan! We had to transfer from the train to a bus on the way from Shifen to Jiufen, and in the meantime, we were parched and made a pit stop for a drink. 50Lan was nearby, so we just chose it on the way to the bus stop.… Continue reading Jasmine Tea (茉莉綠茶) – 50嵐
This was a yesterday drink, because I’m pretty behind on posting drinks when I’m drinking them. There’s no breaks on vacation…I actually didn’t have boba today, so here we are. Anyway, we spent the day in Taichung yesterday, and one of my bucket list items was to go to the Taiwan store of Chi Cha… Continue reading Osmanthus Oolong Tea (水仙桂花) – Chi Cha San Chen
This is also a yesterday’s yesterday drink, and also, that night’s drink. We ate a lot yesterday after browsing around Tainan (thanks to my cousin for being a really great local guide!), and after what I thought was dinner, we went out for part 2 at a xiao long bao place, dubbed the Ding Tai… Continue reading Pearl Red Tea Latte (珍珠紅茶拿鐵) – Cha Nung
