Today’s the last full day in Sendai before we head home tomorrow! Today was just a chill day, getting in our last minute local foods and souvenir shopping. Of course, I needed to get boba today! Originally, our lunch place was near the Kouchousan I went yesterday, but when we arrived when they were supposed… Continue reading Tieguanyin Oolong Milk Tea (鉄観音烏龍ミルクティー) – Bull Pulu
Not a boba snack, but I'm finally getting around to actually opening another Taiwan snack I bought almost a year ago (oops!). It's popcorn! It's a packaged snack though, and the lady assured me that unopened the contents would last for a while. I was at Taiwan station with my grandma to go eat at… Continue reading Tieguanyin Popcorn – Magi Planet
This morning I had a dentist appointment, and a variety of factors led us to the somewhat recently opened R&B Tea located in Zion market. I was looking up their menu on Google and Yelp, when I saw that Yelp reported that location closed…funny…and sure enough, when I went in, the store was completely abandoned.… Continue reading Tie Guan Yin Oolong Latte – TPTea
I’m hanging out in Sapporo this weekend because it’s a three day weekend here! I basically explored an area I haven’t been yet, ate lots of food as usual, and no day out is complete without boba. I’m finally back at Shin Am Ju, and I realize I haven’t had it in a hot minute,… Continue reading Iron Milk Tea (鉄観音ミルクティー) – Shin An Ju
I’m at the Airport! Time to go home to Japan…I managed to find a Chun Sui Tang at the airport, and when you see CST, you know there’s gotta be boba. Is it ironic or fitting that my last boba in Taiwan has to be from the place that claims to have originated boba milk… Continue reading TieGuanYin Latte (鐵觀音拿鐵) – Chun Sui Tang
Today my grandma and I went to hang out in the morning and get lunch at Taipei station. I happened to find a branch of the Tao Tao Tea she wanted to take me to in the bottom underground level, and though we missed it yesterday, we were able to go today. She was so… Continue reading Charcoal Roasted TieGuanYin Latte (炭焙鐵觀音鮮奶拿鐵)- Rose House / TaoTao Tea
In my quest to try more local, Japanese boba spots is The Tea, which has two locations in Sapporo. I've had this place in mind for a while now, and I figured on my outing today I'd finally try it out. They claim to be one of the more authentic boba places around, and they… Continue reading Tiegyuanyin Milk Tea (鉄観音ミルクティー) – The Tea
My dad’s in Sapporo to come see me while he’s in Taiwan for business, and I had a holiday today, so we met up and did a bit of touring and shopping! Read about that over on my Japan blog, here. I ideally wanted boba today, and was trying to go for Shin An Ju,… Continue reading Maple TieGuanYin Milk Tea (メープル鉄観音ミルクティー) – The Alley
I'm back in Sapporo today! The main goal for today was to watch a movie, get this cardigan I really wanted, walk around and explore some more, and, try the The Alley here. You know, after the last couple times getting a failed jasmine you might have thought I would have gotten a jasmine. I… Continue reading TieGuanYin Milk Tea (鉄観音ミルクティー)- The Alley
This morning my mom took me to get a facial, and since I needed to go get some things from South Coast Plaza, we stopped there before heading home. Since South Coast is in Costa Mesa, I figured it’d be a good chance to go to Boba Guys right down the street. My mom agreed,… Continue reading Tie Guan Yin Oolong – Boba Guys
