Today's another Russian Friday, this time at Sunright for some variety! We went over some more Russian idioms, as well as looked up the Russian words for body parts. As an added bonus, we also learned the Russian equivalent of "Mr."/"Mrs.". Now that I've tried most of the major milk teas on Sunright's menu, it's… Continue reading Four Seasons Latte – Sunright Tea Studio
Today's Russian study session was at Omomo! My friend and I read a passage on St. Petersburg, and then did some name declension practice, along with some other miscellaneous grammar items. My drink choice today was a pretty quick one: the Jasmine Milk Tea, which I like to call the not-so-secret Omomo menu item. Jasmine… Continue reading Jasmine Milk Tea – Omomo Tea Shoppe
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
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
We're back with some Omomo after quite a while! While I wouldn't say I miss Omomo entirely, I have heard about their recent "new" seasonal drinks: Osmanthus Oolong and Itchy Peachy. They both sound pretty good, and I've heard good things. Obviously, I gotta try them, but I didn't know when they'd be "out of… Continue reading Itchy Peachy – Omomo Tea Shoppe
Today's a hot day, which is a great occasion for boba! Or ice cream. Or both. Today I went with the boba ice cream bar from Tiger Sugar (that's stocked up in our freezer). Tiger Sugar is a super popular and big brand that might have started the brown sugar boba milk trend actually. Don't… Continue reading Boba Milk Ice Cream Bar – Tiger Sugar
Ah, nothing beats a drink after a workout! The real occasion today though was the "deal" Sunright was offering on their online order system. I noticed on their Instagram that if you purchase $20 or more you get a free face mask (a reusable cloth one), which gave me a perfect excuse to get Sunright… Continue reading Jasmine Milk Tea – Sunright Tea Studio
After trying Oolong from 7 Leaves, I swear I'm not on an Oolong kick. Sometimes when I look at the Omomo menu I feel like I want everything yet nothing at the same time...weird feeling for a boba place. There's a whole bunch of drinks I want to try, from the milk teas to the… Continue reading Oolong Milk Tea – Omomo Tea Shoppe
Ok, so I don't know if there's some actual science to shaking specifically 17 times, but hey, Sunright Tea Studio says to do it and I've been shaking a lot, so I hope it actually does something. I actually haven't been having that much Sunright, but I'm a big fan of their drinks for the… Continue reading Shake 17 Times – Sunright Tea Studio
Another big fad floating around the internet and society lately is boba ice cream! Most places you'll see brown sugar boba flavor, because that's the biggest trend in the boba drink world right now and an identifiable flavor. I wouldn't be surprised if milk tea was another flavor being produced, but I have yet to… Continue reading Brown Sugar Boba Ice Cream Bar – Xiao Mei (小美)
