My Taiwan trip is over, but I did have some boba treats while I was there. Surprisingly, I didn't get any boba-flavored souvenirs this time around (I did see quite a few though). Usually I write posts the day of and can whip them up pretty fast, but this time around, aside from the usual… Continue reading Heart of the Ocean Snowflake Ice (Mango and Tapioca Pearls) – Smoothie House
In my opinion, clearly, with heavy bias. If you'd like to challenge my opinion, feel free to leave me a comment, or just try these places for yourself :). If no one's caught on yet, I hail from the Irvine bubble in Southern California, and practically watched the boba scene unfold right in front of… Continue reading The Best Boba in Irvine, California
Soma is this kind of bougie milk tea brand that comes from Taiwan. Supposedly they won some kind of award for their teas? They only have a couple locations in America, and I think I've been lucky enough to try it. The drinks are pretty good quality, especially their milk teas, and some of their… Continue reading Taiwan’s Most Popular? – Soma Tea & Mocktail
My mom has been wanting Soma recently, so my dad suggested today (Sunday) to be a good day to get a drink. He had this odd reasoning about Sundays being a good day for boba, something along the lines of the week winding down, but I can always go for boba, so… Today I thought… Continue reading Cocoa Milk Tea – Soma Tea & Mocktail
My mom has been wanting to get Soma, and after trying on Monday, she’s been really wanting it. Apparently they’re only open Thursday and Sunday, because I think now it's officially in their soft opening. They’re short staffed, which is understandable. Also, I did most of my order in Chinese, which I’m pretty proud of.… Continue reading Golden Milk Tea (#3) – Soma Tea & Mocktail
Apparently, Soma is actually opening a location in Irvine, with the opening being today. I've been kind of out of the loop of local boba news, but this was a pleasant surprise to hear as my mom told me. (She found out from the Facebook or Line group apparently.) She asked me if I wanted… Continue reading Matcha – Soma Tea & Mocktail
Heres Soma part 2, the Golden Milk Tea! Actually, we picked up our drinks on Tuesday right, and I had the Signature the day after, on Wednesday. So how come I didn’t have my other drink on the day right after? Well, my booster shot on Wednesday kind of really knocked me out on Thursday,… Continue reading Golden Milk Tea (#2) – Soma Tea & Mocktail
I guess Soma's back after a while so my mom asked me if I wanted some. I'm not going to say no to boba, and she even asked if I wanted both the signature and the golden milk tea. I couldn’t really pick one, and my mom was thinking of ordering both anyway, so she… Continue reading Signature Milk Tea (#2) – Soma Tea & Mocktail
Soma's back y'all, and my dad will rarely get a drink from a place again unless it's a special occasion or there's a drink he's really into. For Soma, it's because they have a sesame milk tea (turns out, he tried their Chocolate Banana). It's also (unfortunately) getting warmer here...which means t'is the the season… Continue reading Golden Milk Tea – Soma Tea & Mocktail
My dad found or came across another boba pick-up delivery form from a place called Soma. I searched it up, and apparently it's a store im Artesia that's won a bunch of awards from Taiwan for its tea and drinks. What was a little odd was that the pick-up location was at a local high… Continue reading Signature Milk Tea – Soma Tea & Mocktail
