I took a quick trip to Tokyo this weekend! I secured tickets to a concert of a group I’m a huge fan of (and their last one as a whole group…), and so I made a slightly last minute trip. When in Tokyo, get boba, and especially, Truedan. It was on the way to my… Continue reading Oolong Milk Tea (ウーロンミルクティー（鉄観音)) – Truedan
Today’s my first full day in Fukuoka! Today I did some casual sightseeing around the main Fukuoka city area, including Ohori Park, Fukuoka Tower, and then caught the finale of the Dontaku Festival. My lunch was right next to a boba place that looked promising. The boba scene in Fukuoka is very strong (at least,… Continue reading Premium Oolong Milk Tea (極上ウーロンミルクティー) – Sho Shin Tea
After a long weekend, I’m heading home from Sapporo! I got a parfait in the morning, and grabbed a boba before leaving to meet up with a friend! I’m back at The Alley again to get another drink. This drink actually came out back in October, but I haven’t had a chance to try it… Continue reading Maple White Peach Oolong Milk Tea (メープル白桃烏龍ミルクティー) – The Alley
Today I’m in Sapporo hanging out for the three day weekend! I went to the Sapporo Olympics Museum, and then did some casual shopping the rest of the day.

Today’s my last day at home in America before heading back to Japan. I was craving Arby’s curly fries because they’re a unique American favorite of mine, and Jan Jam is in the same plaza! It’s quickly becoming a new family favorite, and we all look forward to getting their drinks. Today I went with… Continue reading Oolong Milk Tea – Jam Jam Tea Lab
Yesterday we went to dinner at a Chinese cafe near Bopomofo’s Artesia location. Dinner was yummy, and since we came all the way, I had to get a drink. I was debating between a couple things on the menu, but ended up with the honey roasted oolong milk tea. The honey with the oolong sounded… Continue reading Honey Roasted Oolong Milk Tea – Bopomofo Cafe

The drink… Continue reading Alishan Ooolong Peach Tea-ade (阿里山烏龍ピーチティーエード) – Gong Cha
Yesterday was my birthday! This was actually my drink from yesterday, but I was busy all day that I didn't have time to write my post, so apologies for the delay. I spent the weekend in Sapporo hanging out with friends and getting birthday freebies! Of course, I had to get boba on my birthday.… Continue reading Brown Sugar TieGuanYin Milk Tea (黒糖鉄観音ミルクティー) – The Alley
As of July 2, 7/11 Japan has released a limited bottled tea collaboration with Gong Cha! Although they're just bottled teas with no boba (honestly, thank goodness because that probably wouldn't end up well), they're both Gong Cha tea products. I thought they tengentially fit the blog. There's two drinks in this collaboration, and first… Continue reading Brown Sugar Oolong Milk Tea (黒糖烏龍ミルクティー) – Gong Cha
