On December 18th, my sister and I went to Sunright to get boba! We were mentally (and physically on my blog) going through boba shops to go back to, and since Sunright is pretty high up on my personal list and we haven't been back in a while, to go~ At this point, I've tried… Continue reading Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea – Sunright Tea Studio
On December 14th, I was just chilling at home, and my sister wanted a drink. We decided to go to 7 Leaves (a first time in a while for me!) because I had birthday points that were expiring, plus they were running a campaign for their seasonal peppermint coffee drink, perfect for my dad. They… Continue reading Jasmine Milk Tea (#9) – 7 Leaves Cafe
On October 13th, my sister came to visit me! My school had a mini break from classes, and coincidentally, my sister was also on break from school, and her and her friends were spending it in San Jose. They came down for a day to hang out, and it was very sweet of her friend… Continue reading Osmanthus Oolong Tea – Teaspoon
On October 1st, I hung out with a college friend I haven't seen in 3 years! She's from San Jose, and since I'm now in Northern California, I'm a lot physically closer to her (but I suppose anywhere beats the distance with Japan). I don't have an easy way of getting to her, but she's… Continue reading Green Thai Tea #3 – 7 Leaves Cafe
On August 25th, I started graduate school! My parents and I drove up from Southern California in the morning and arrived in Northern California around late afternoon the day before so I could move in. While I was doing orientation things during the day, my parents spent the day in San Jose, mostly getting food… Continue reading Liquid Gold – Teaspoon
On August 21, I went out to go get boba at Sunright with my sister! We wanted a change of pace from what we were getting recently, and I brought up Sunright, which I haven't had in a while. I have mostly exhausted Sunright's normal milk tea menu at this point, so I looked to… Continue reading Strawberry Jasmine Tea – Sunright Tea Studio
Oiio Cafe doesn't actually have a website, so the link goes to their Facebook page. I’m still a little confused by the shop’s name, but at least the first time when I ordered I said “oyo” and everything seemed fine with the cashier. This place was definitely such a great find for a day when… Continue reading Oyo? Oeeo? Ollo? – Oiio Cafe Orange
Today’s my first full day in Singapore! I spent the day eating, doing some window shopping, exploring the city, and visiting the Botanical Gardens. I had scouted out the boba scene around Orchard Road earlier, and decided on getting a drink from At Tea (below) as a thirst quencher, and a “real” boba drink from… Continue reading Dong Ding Latte with Honey Pearl – The Whale Tea
This morning my sister went out to a lunch, and she came back offering 7 Leaves. Obviously I’m saying yes, so thanks to her for the drink opportunity. Browsing the secret menu and then going back to the main tea menu, I realized 7 Leaves put a new matcha drink on their normal menu: a… Continue reading Matcha Latte – 7 Leaves Cafe
Today’s my last day in the States! It’s been a really quick trip, but any longer and I would have gone full vacation mode…my flight is later tonight (tomorrow “morning”), so on my last day, I met up with friend to chat and catch up! Honestly looking at the menu, I hoped there’d be something… Continue reading Jasmine Milk Tea #2 – Sunright Tea Studio
