Today we're back at Redstraw studying Russian, with one less friend. It was still fun though, and today was more casual, building simple sentences and going over conversation vocabulary. I'm also still on my quest to try items from the Custom Teas that pique my interest. I was debating between trying the Earl Grey Creme… Continue reading Earl Grey Creme – Redstraw Tea Bar
Today was our last Russian session in a while with one of my friends (I study with two others), who's moving back to college early to start his RA training. I find it a little crazy, because it shows summer is ending (for some of us!) and because sometimes I forget not everyone starts school… Continue reading Peach Mandarin – Redstraw Tea Bar
We're back at Redstraw to study some more Russian (or, we studied outside and got Redstraw boba)! Today we went over a variety of small topics, including pronouns, question words, vocabulary, and others. Why must Russian have so many cases? Anyway, recently I've been looking forward to trying more drinks on the menu when we… Continue reading Peach Bellini – Redstraw Tea Bar
Alright, no special occasion today other than another hot, summer day. Which is always a great occasion for boba. Seriously though, we've been ordering so much 7 Leaves that I'm pretty sure I'm going to run out of things to try on the menu (that I'm interested in trying) or that I haven't written about… Continue reading Japanese Matcha Tea – 7 Leaves Cafe
Wow, today is a bad luck boba day. 🙁 It would seem I might be talking about Orobae too much around the house (I don't think so, but apparently so) because my mom was talking about getting Orobae today, and I was much surprised, considering she's had not-so-great experiences, but I keep wanting to go… Continue reading Sea Cream Jasmine Tea – 7 Leaves Cafe
We met up again at Redstraw for our weekly Russian study session. Today we did some Cyrillic (the Russian alphabet) review by writing English sentences phonetically in Cyrillic, and talked about our future language plans (ambitious, I know, but what can I do when I'm an aspiring polyglot?)! Even though I'm learning Russian, I actually… Continue reading Japanese Cherry Sakura – Redstraw Tea Bar
Yes I had boba yesterday. Doesn't mean I can't have one today... So yesterday I was mulling over boba after having 7 Leaves, and I realized yesterday would have been the perfect opportunity to try out Yoyo Tea Shoppe (post coming soon!), a new place that opened about a month ago. I thought to myself,… Continue reading Brûlée Yoyo – Yoyo Tea Shoppe
Here's a story (which I promise is relevant): So my dad got an email about a week ago for a coupon with HNTea, and asked if we wanted HNTea this weekend, and I'm always down for boba so I said yes! (Spoilers, we didn't get HNTea.) Turns out, the coupon code expired yesterday, but my… Continue reading Summer Mint – 7 Leaves Cafe
Healthy and natural boba? Sign me up! If boba will ever be healthy for me, I'll drink and eat it as much as I can (I jest....kind of). I really wish I could go to HNTea more, because the drinks are really nice, and (they claim) the drinks are supposed to be on the healthier… Continue reading Healthy and Natural? – HNTea
I very much love 7 Leaves, but this is more of a recent phenomenon. 7 Leaves has been relatively around for a while in my area, but for whatever reason I didn't get drinks there. One reason was probably because it had a lot of hype (and I usually stay away from the places everyone… Continue reading Taste the Leaf – 7 Leaves Cafe
