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

Peach Jasmine Milk Tea (ぎゅぎゅっとピーチ ミルクティー) – Gong Cha

I made another bus trip to Sapporo this week, and hung out with a couple of new friends for the day! We ended the day with boba, and also because I wanted to go back to Gong Cha to try the Limited Peach milk tea before it ends at the end of August. The peach… Continue reading Peach Jasmine Milk Tea (ぎゅぎゅっとピーチ ミルクティー) – Gong Cha

Alishan Oolong Milk Tea (阿里山ありさん ウーロン ミルクティー) – Gong Cha

Today I made a bus trip to Sapporo! I went with my friend the other day and it was a lot of fun, and today I made the trip myself.

“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. There was a group this morning that went to go get boba, but they went real early since the store opens at… Continue reading “Bonsai” Garden Milk Tea – The Alley Lujiaoxiang

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. Conveniently, the original Loose Leaf store was around the corner from where the meet-up was, and my mom asked my dad to bring home a drink. It wasn't too far of a trip, and my dad brought… Continue reading Strawberry Matcha Latte – Loose Leaf Boba Company

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

Four Seasons Tea – Omomo Tea Shoppe

My sister was craving the freeze-dried strawberries from Trader Joe's, so to get her out of the house and spend some time with her, we went on a Trader Joe’s run together. Trader Joe's is right next to Omomo, and since we finished our shopping right when they opened (and the line wasn't too long!)… Continue reading Four Seasons Tea – Omomo Tea Shoppe

Golden Oolong Tea Latte Cream Mousse – Tiger Sugar

My mom had a doctor’s appointment today, and I tagged along to hang out and go look at some things in the area (which include the Tiger Sugar, and we’re both definitely getting a drink!). I’m onto the next latte, and I’ve been meaning to try their golden oolong for a while. And here we… Continue reading Golden Oolong Tea Latte Cream Mousse – Tiger Sugar
