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
Happy Fourth of July! Happy (supposed) Birthday America! Am I a proper patriotic citizen now? We let my sister "choose" the place today, but since she's not as familiar with the names of the stores, we asked her what drink she wanted, since she basically has a go-to drink per place. She requested the drink… Continue reading Oolong Milk Tea- 7 Leaves Cafe
Today I met up with some friends, because socializing in times of safely social distancing is important and digital meetups can't really replace real life socializing you know? We're studying Russian over the summer, and practicing the language in real life also helps a lot more than studying digitally. There's just something about it. Today… Continue reading Mango Mojito – Redstraw Tea Bar
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
Happy Chinese Dragon Boat Festival! Most (if not all I think?) Chinese holidays, or festivals or celebrations or whatever synonym you want to use, have a certain food associated with them that you eat on that day. There's usually a purpose or meaning to them too, but I'm a bad ABC and forgotten most of… Continue reading Matcha Soy Tea- 7 Leaves Cafe
