On December 30th, my sister passed her driving test! To celebrate, we went to Bopomofo for boba. I drove there, and I had her drive me back home! I had been meaning to get this winter seasonal Triple Strawberry Matcha Latte for a while since I saw it come out. Not sure how much longer… Continue reading Triple Strawberry Matcha Latte – Bopomofo Cafe
On December 26th, my family decided to take a trek out into the rain for some boba from Omomo. I'm not a fan of leaving the house to go into the rain unless I absolutely need to, but my sister really wanted boba, and my family convinced me I would enter the car through the… Continue reading Wicked – Omomo Tea Shoppe
Merry (Belated, oops!) Christmas Eve! On December 24th, my family all took a trek out to Bako to get some drinks. Southern California was quite rainy around Christmas, so instead of a white Christmas, we got a...wet Christmas? This time I opted for their matcha latte. The description on their website describes it as "A… Continue reading Matcha Latte – Bako Tea House
August 12th was my first full day back home! I didn't really do too much, but my sister wanted a drink, so we headed out to Wushiland which was close by. I haven't been to this location before, plus, haven't had Wushiland in a long time! I recall matcha used to be a seasonal flavor… Continue reading Matcha Latte Macchiato – Wushiland Boba
On August 5, I explored a bit of the Izu area in Shizuoka! The area was cute and charming, with some nice views and cafes, without the hustle and bustle of normal tourist areas. Miraculously, I found a boba shop in this little countryside town! Normally people associate matcha with Kyoto, but Shizuoka is also… Continue reading Matcha Milk (抹茶ミルク) – Musuhi no Tapioca
On July 23rd, I arrived in Beppu, Oita! (Yes, this post is a week late, I’m getting to them). I was fully not expecting proper boba in Beppu, and the only place I found boba was this one matcha shop in a mall. With no other option, no harm in trying it at least. There… Continue reading Tapioca Matcha Milk (タピオカ抹茶ミルク) – Sahanji
On July 15, I flew into Osaka! I’m spending about a week here, traveling around the area to neighboring prefectures. After dropping off my stuff at my hostel, I went to chill at a local mall. And I found a Bull Pulu doing a Dandadan collab. I wasn’t there for the collab, but just to… Continue reading Matcha Milk (抹茶ミルク) – Bull Pulu
Junbi relaatively new shop to the scene offering boba, but I think they've been in LA doing matcha for a bit now. It's a cafe that specializes in matcha, but they also have an array of milk teas, fruit teas, coffees, smoothies, and soft serve and onigiri. Their menu is super cool! I've only tried… Continue reading Matcha and Onigiri – Junbi
Today was my dental deep cleaning part 2! After my appointment was over, I walked over to a nearby Target, did some shopping while waiting to get picked up (no car problems), and killed some time. On the way home, we passed Junbi, so perfect for boba of the day. Junbi is doing a banana… Continue reading Cold Mango Matcha Latte – Junbi
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
