It's Russian Redstraw Friday! The air outside is definitely a lot better and not smoky at all from the fires nearby earlier this week, which is a great thing. This week we did a reading about football (soccer) in Russia. The joke included in this passage was a lot better than the bear one. Was… Continue reading Chamomile – Redstraw Tea Bar
Russians are back on normal Wednesday schedule, and we went back to Sunright today! Apparently my friend's mom really liked their Jasmine Milk Tea (I can see why!), so here we are. Today we reviewed body and color vocabulary, along with searching up some newer related terms. I had a mini debate with myself over… Continue reading Thai Milk Tea – Sunright Tea Studio
My dad went to Mochinut today, and you would expect him to come back with Mochi Donuts...but instead I got a drink, ha! Don't get me wrong, mochi donuts are pretty great; they're super chewy and decadent and come in all different flavors. My family started getting mochi donuts pretty frequently over quarantine because two… Continue reading Jasmine Green Milk Tea – Oyo Cha
Here's to a hot day (not as hot as yesterday, but still plenty hot), post-workout, and last but not least, me starting my first day of school (finally, and boo-hoo)! Yes, my summer is over now, and I have officially begun my first virtual classes of the school year. Will it last all year? Will… Continue reading Thai Tea – 7 Leaves Cafe
Russian has moved to Tuesday morning this week, because apparently the weather has decided to grace us with 100 Degrees on Wednesday. To avoid that, we moved to today, which would be slightly cooler, and in the morning, because my friend has classes later, and it'd be even cooler! We went over Russian idioms today,… Continue reading Genmaicha – Redstraw Tea Bar
Here's to another post-workout boba! I've been working out in the morning on the weekends recently, but today it was in the afternoon because my mom's friend (safely) came over to do her hair this morning. Today I online ordered as usual, and I noticed that Sunright has Thai Tea in their new drinks section… Continue reading Oolong Milk Tea – Sunright Tea Studio
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
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
