Hojicha Milk Tea (焙じ茶 ミルクティー) – Gong Cha

After 3 weeks I’m finally back in Sapporo! Now that I’ve got my internet set up, I’m thinking of taking a trip out every other week so I can at least get out, but not have to spend money on transportation every week. Of course, this is barring any other circumstances like a meetup or… Continue reading Hojicha Milk Tea (焙じ茶 ミルクティー) – Gong Cha

What’s a Deerioca? – The Alley

I might say, I’m going to The Alley today, and you’ll think “that’s highly suspicious and dangerous, you shouldn’t do that”, and normally you’d be right, but that’s not the case when it’s the boba shop! I remembered when they first opened one near me sometime around the pandemic, and I wanted to try it… Continue reading What’s a Deerioca? – The Alley

“Bonsai” Garden Milk Tea – The Alley Lujiaoxiang

Today’s my first full day in Japan! I landed last night, but my group of friends were too tired yesterday to go to anything, so I’m going out for the first time today.

Strawberry Matcha Latte – Loose Leaf Boba Company

This morning my sister and her friend had a meetup in Long Beach and my dad chaperoned them.

Ali Shan Oolong – Loose Leaf Boba Company

I got an email this morning that I had a Grubhub promo code expiring tomorrow for $10 off a $20 subtotal. At first I offered it to my boyfriend, but he didn't want it, so I was thinking...this promo is a pretty good deal. Ever since I saw Loose Leaf's Santa Ana location as a… Continue reading Ali Shan Oolong – Loose Leaf Boba Company
