This was a yesterday drink, because I’m pretty behind on posting drinks when I’m drinking them. There’s no breaks on vacation…I actually didn’t have boba today, so here we are. Anyway, we spent the day in Taichung yesterday, and one of my bucket list items was to go to the Taiwan store of Chi Cha… Continue reading Osmanthus Oolong Tea (水仙桂花) – Chi Cha San Chen
Today was a chill date out with my wife friend! We started out getting lunch at Ever After Tearoom, a new place in town I found on Yelp that also offered food in addition to boba, and then hung out at her place for the rest of the day. Their Magnificent Phoenix Oolong Milk Tea… Continue reading Osmanthus 4 Season Milk Tea – Ever After Tearoom & Eatery
Today I went on solo Jiufen outing, which is a mountain village town area that bears a striking similarity to Spirited Away (though Miyazaki has denied it). I came back to Taipei proper around late afternoon, strolled around the area, and looked for a new boba place in the area (there is no shortage, but… Continue reading Osmanthus Oolong Latte (桂香烏龍那堤) – Hechalou
Today my dad, boyfriend and I went to Stacks to have brunch. My dad has been meaning to go back to Stacks for awhile, and he mentioned he wanted to take my boyfriend here. It’s also convenient because it’s right next to Omomo, which is another boba must have when visiting around here I guess.… Continue reading Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea (#2) – Omomo Tea Shoppe
Today a friend, my boyfriend and I went to eat Korean soup, and Orobae was in the same plaza. Well, actually, my boyfriend was thinking about Korean tofu soup, and I suggested Koba because my parents and my other friend likes their tofu soup. I’m not much of a tofu soup person, so I got… Continue reading White Peach Osmanthus Oolong – Orobae
This morning my parents went to Rowland Heights to pick up some food goods, and they brought back drinks with them! I have yet to explore the boba scene in depth there, but I have heard of some good shops around the place. According to Yelp there's a ton of shops there too for obvious… Continue reading Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea – Ten Ren’s Tea Time
Today's a holiday, but that can't stop us from doing some Russian and getting some boba! We're at Cloudy Co, a new place in town, and got halfway through an article about a boy named Peter. Maybe there's something about cold weather that makes people less productive, maybe it's the holiday, maybe it was the… Continue reading Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea – Cloudy Co.
Today Russian Wednesdays are back at Redstraw! We read about Russian saunas today, banyas, amidst this very hot weather. And very hot weather is the best occasion for a drink! Today I went for Redstraw's Osmanthus Oolong, which I noticed on their menu after I found out about Omomo's. For some reason, because of Omomo's… Continue reading Osmanthus Oolong – Redstraw Tea Bar
I feel like I haven't had Omomo in forever, which is probably because Omomo always has such a long line no matter the time or day that it demotivates any of us to go. When I heard that they opened up online ordering for the Walnut location, I thought that was great news. Then I… Continue reading Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea – Omomo Tea Shoppe
