January 19 was a pretty busy day: I ran some errands with my parents, tried a new local bakery, got boba with my sister, and then dropped her off at school for the spring semester. Boba of choice was from Jam Jam, because we haven't been for a while. Mostly because my sister usually gets… Continue reading Snow Blossom Jasmine Milk Tea – Jam Jam Tea Lab
On January 16, I went to 99 Ranch for some groceries. My sister tagged along, and for our boba of the day, we went with HeyTea. It's in the same plaza, and I figured I'd give HeyTea another chance for their very viral drinks. One of their famous items is their matcha. Although there's a… Continue reading Supreme Matcha Latte – HeyTea
On January 15, my sister and I ventured out to the new Omomo location in Tustin! The Irvine one is always packed with a line at any time of day, and we saw on Instagram the Tustin one was in its soft opening phase. Although just slightly more of a drive, we hoped that there… Continue reading Magnolia Milk Tea – Omomo Tea Shoppe
On January 5th, I landed in Seattle! My boyfriend and I were celebrating our anniversary, and we wanted to take a trip somewhere to see each other again after quite a few months separated. I also don't recall the last time I was in Seattle, but I do know it was when I was really… Continue reading Jasmine Sambac Milk Tea – Neighborhood Cafe
On December 12th, my friends and I went out to dinner to celebrate the end of the semester! A little earlier, I was offered a drink from HeyTea from a friend who went to go get boba. With the lack of boba options around my school, I couldn't say no... The menu I originally saw… Continue reading Green Grape Boom – HeyTea
On November 27th, my sister suggested getting boba, and the first suggestion was Bako. However, their online ordering system wasn't working...and we realized they were probably closed for Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving! I scrolled through my places to-try list, and I suggested the relatively newly opened 3Cat. Reviews seemed generally positive, and we could order online… Continue reading Longjing Milk Tea – 3Cat
On August 17, I met up with college friends I haven't seen in three years! We decided to meet up at Jam Jam to get boba. My friends haven't been, and you can't go wrong with Jam Jam. I was feeling experimental with their menu, and I think their signature menu is actually the fruit… Continue reading Green Grape Smash – Jam Jam Tea Lab
On August 13th, my sister and I were hanging out, and we decided to go get a drink. I needed the driving practice anyway, so we picked a place close by, and headed to Omomo! Summer is peach season, and Omomo usually does seasonal drinks (I believe their Itchy Peachy is quite popular). Along with… Continue reading Second Momo – Omomo Tea Shoppe
Yesterday I came back from Tokyo! My dad and I met up with my cousin again for lunch, and my cousin's restaurant pick just happened to be across the street from Truedan. A perfect post-lunch pre-flight drink! One last boba while I'm in Tokyo this trip. This indeed was yesterday's drink, so apologies for the… Continue reading Assam Black Milk Tea (紅茶ミルクティー（アッサム)) – Truedan
I took a quick trip to Tokyo this weekend! I secured tickets to a concert of a group I’m a huge fan of (and their last one as a whole group…), and so I made a slightly last minute trip. When in Tokyo, get boba, and especially, Truedan. It was on the way to my… Continue reading Oolong Milk Tea (ウーロンミルクティー（鉄観音)) – Truedan
