Black Milk Tea (ブラック ミルクティー) – Gong Cha

I’m going home after spending a weekend in Sapporo with some friends! Today we went to the handmade village, saw a Ghibli exhibition, and then parted ways as everyone else had a bit of a time crunch going home. I got lunch, some dessert, and then stopped by Gong Cha on the way home. I…

Tapioca Matcha Milk (タピオカ抹茶ミルク) – Round 1

Today I’m hanging out in Sapporo with some friends. After going to the Sapporo Museum, we went to Round 1 to end the night with bowling. Surprisingly, browsing the food options, I found boba in the menu, which meant I had to try it. There were a few varieties to choose from for boba, but…

Chardonnay Grape Milk Tea (シャルドネグレープミルクティー) – Gong Cha

I’m back in Hokkaido (and Japan!) after a brief trip in the States (but this blog has been lively with that content). Of course, on the way home, I have to grab some boba for the road, and I’m back at Gong Cha to get their seasonal tea as a milk tea. As I said…

Jasmine Milk Tea #2 – Sunright Tea Studio

Today’s my last day in the States! It’s been a really quick trip, but any longer and I would have gone full vacation mode…my flight is later tonight (tomorrow “morning”), so on my last day, I met up with friend to chat and catch up! Honestly looking at the menu, I hoped there’d be something…

Ceylon Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Boba – Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf

The other day I got an email from Coffee Bean, and I thought it was a normal periodic advertisement email, so I swiped to delete it. It was as it was being deleted that I saw BOBA written in the subject line, immediately undeleted it, and read the email. Turns out, Coffee Bean is hopping…

Cold Lavender Honey Matcha Latte – Junbi

Today’s my second day back in town! Today was a rest day for me, but also running some in-town errands, as well as getting a manicure and pedicure with my sister (hence the nails in the picture)! I wasn’t sure what to order and decided to leave it up to me at the ordering tablet.…

Green Thai Tea #2 – 7 Leaves Cafe

I’m back in the USA! My first stop after getting picked up from the airport is boba, although 7 Leaves was suggested by my mom, ha! Then, off to surprise my sister with a drink delivery! 7 Leaves updated their app with some secret menu options, though not with some of their more famous options…

First Flush Matcha Milk Tea (一番摘み抹茶 ミルクティー) – Gong Cha

I’m briefly going home for about a long weekend for a special occasion (also delaying uploading this post for personal reasons)! So last year they had a similar type of “freshly picked matcha” up for a pretty limited time last year too (I think the period was for two weeks or so) but I missed…
