Ume Tea - Milpitas, CA

 

Ume Tea now has a new location in Milpitas! U and me, let’s get some tea! 😉

Are these not the prettiest drinks ever? They’re so creative, bright, and colorful! But in addition to them being pretty, I was extremely impressed by the quality of their drinks. 😱 They have something on the menu for everyone, whether you’re looking for a milk tea with interesting toppings, a refreshing fruit tea, or a bite to eat!

My top 3 favorites were the grape green tea w/cheese top (must get), mango pomelo sago, and black milk tea with pearl and taro — all with 50% sugar, less ice.

Thank you so much Ume Tea for having me! 🥰

Tong Sui - Sunnyvale, CA

 

I never know what to say when people ask what my favorite dessert is but now I’m going to say it’s coconut pudding!! 😱

🥥 Signature coconut pudding: coconut pudding made from fresh coconut juice, lightly sweetened
🥥 Strawberry coconut pudding: a layer of strawberry coconut pudding on top of the signature

I didn’t have high expectations because the phrase “coconut pudding” didn’t sound spectacular (I was wrong), but the puddings tasted so FRESH with a deep coconut milk flavor. It was light, flavorful, and satisfying! And if you bring back 10 jars, you get a free signature coconut pudding! Someone please fund my new addiction at Tong Sui 😙

N7 Draft Tea + Coffee - San Jose, CA

 

Anyone know what nitrogen infused tea tastes like? According to google it makes your drinks creamier without the calories 😱 N7 specializes in nitrogen infused drinks!

Watermelon freeze: jasmine green tea mixed with crushed fresh watermelon. It had a BEAUTIFUL floral taste from the green tea and the watermelon provided a refreshing sweetness. 50% sugar is perfect! This was so good 😋

Mango freeze: mango purée blended with house crema. This tasted like mango lassi and I love mango lassi so I was a fan 👌🏻 Super creamy, perfect with 30-50% sweetness, and a great caffeine free option! 🤩

Sul & Beans - Cupertino, CA

 

I’m craving some shaved ice!

There are so many great bingsoo flavors at Sul N Beans but mango is my favorite 😋 fluffy light ice that melts in your mouth with sweet mango and gooey condensed milk 🤩

Tan-Cha Teahouse - Cupertino, CA

 

Tan Cha’s (milk) teas are amazing but their fruit drinks are just as good!!!!😋

Cheezo peach (left) is a peach drink made w fresh peaches (there are some peach bits!) topped with their delicious salted cheese, and it tastes INCREDIBLE! I think it’s a seasonal drink but pls make it permanent @tanchateahouse 🥺 Def gonna try their other cheezo fruity drinks -- I've tried cheezo grape and I HIGHLY recommend that 🤤

And their grapefruit slush (right) is the BEST I’ve had and so refreshing 😊

RareTea - Cupertino, CA

Who knew that strawberries and salted cheese would pair so well together? Not me (but it makes sense bc of the fireworks scene in the beginning of Ratatouille when Remy ate strawberries + cheese??) 😯 

Strawberry 2.0 Snow Cream from RareTea has become one of my FAVORITE drinks and is made with real strawberries! 🍓 

And for my lactose intolerant friends (like myself), I highly recommend taking a Lactaid for salted cheese + organic milk teas bc why suffer 😌
