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
I’m back in the USA! My first stop after getting picked up from the airport is boba, although 7 Leaves was suggested by my mom, ha! Then, off to surprise my sister with a drink delivery! 7 Leaves updated their app with some secret menu options, though not with some of their more famous options… Continue reading Green Thai Tea #2 – 7 Leaves Cafe
