Today Russian Wednesdays are back at Redstraw! We read about Russian saunas today, banyas, amidst this very hot weather. And very hot weather is the best occasion for a drink! Today I went for Redstraw's Osmanthus Oolong, which I noticed on their menu after I found out about Omomo's. For some reason, because of Omomo's… Continue reading Osmanthus Oolong – Redstraw Tea Bar
Today my dad decided to get me some post-workout boba from 7 Leaves. I was suspicious, and I am 99.9% sure it's because he wants me to make him overnight oats. Don't worry Dad, I will (sooner or later). 😉 For anyone that actually cares, I'm just about almost finished with my "Reviewing the drinks… Continue reading Japanese Matcha Tea (#2) – 7 Leaves Cafe
I feel like I haven't had Omomo in forever, which is probably because Omomo always has such a long line no matter the time or day that it demotivates any of us to go. When I heard that they opened up online ordering for the Walnut location, I thought that was great news. Then I… Continue reading Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea – Omomo Tea Shoppe
For anyone that cares, today is Russian Friday at Orobae. Why Friday? What happened to Wednesday? Well, that was just a rescheduling on both my and my friend's part. We also went for Orobae today because everyone can always use a Daiso run, which is next door. The air has been pretty bad lately too,… Continue reading Gyokuro Green Milk Tea – Orobae
Sunmerry recently came out with boba egg tarts, and more recently made them available at all California locations. Naturally, I had to try them out, since we got 7 Leaves yesterday, and Sunmerry is located in the same plaza. The tart is composed of a flaky crust, a milk tea egg custard base (under the… Continue reading Boba Egg Tart – Sunmerry Bakery
This weekend reached the 100s for some reason, so it's a perfect time for boba! Today I'm finally trying my sister's favorite "bloody" drink, the Strawberry Hibiscus Tea from 7 Leaves. I'm not sure when she started calling it by that name, but it's probably a combination of the looks the drink (when no ice… Continue reading Strawberry Hibiscus Tea – 7 Leaves Cafe
Oh my God, today's the last day of August! I think we were going to get a drink yesterday because my sister was craving her "bloody drink", but then it ended up getting late in the afternoon so we put it off for today... And here we are! I feel like I say this every… Continue reading Taro Milk Tea – 7 Leaves Cafe
It's Russian Redstraw Wednesday! Well, Wednesday doesn't start with an R, but none of the days of the week do... Today we went over daily vocabulary, including meals, clothing, and routine verbs. I was telling my friend how I finally unlocked "girlfriend" on Duolingo after learning "boyfriend" a few lessons ago, and a lady (safely)… Continue reading Grapefruit Punch – Redstraw Tea Bar
What? Boba two days in a row? I'm not quite sure if this is a bad thing or good thing, but I'm always up for boba on a hot day. Or any day for the matter. Plus, boba right after a workout always sounds good, and I finished my second workout program for the summer… Continue reading Assam Milk Tea – 7 Leaves Cafe
My dad's favorite boba place, Loose Leaf Boba Company, recently opened up a location close to where I live! Now instead of driving to Long Beach (which isn't that bad I guess, but still quite some time) there's a location in Santa Ana. Well, they're still in their soft opening stage right now, which began… Continue reading Jasmine Green Milk Tea – Loose Leaf Boba Company
