On January 21, I hung out with a friend at Irvine Spectrum! We had a chill hangout, grabbing lunch together, walking around and doing some window and real shopping, before parting ways. Later that day, I drove to the new Omomo in Tustin to get a drink! In their new Tustin exclusive Magnolia promotion series,… Continue reading Magnolia Matcha – Omomo Tea Shoppe
On January 16, I went to 99 Ranch for some groceries. My sister tagged along, and for our boba of the day, we went with HeyTea. It's in the same plaza, and I figured I'd give HeyTea another chance for their very viral drinks. One of their famous items is their matcha. Although there's a… Continue reading Supreme Matcha Latte – HeyTea
On January 14th, my sister and I went to Bopomofo! I believe they were doing a promotion for the first fifteen days of the year that their popular drinks had a discount, so we wanted to go get something before the campaign was over. I opted for the ba-la matcha, which is a matcha latte… Continue reading BA-LA Matcha – Bopomofo Cafe
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
