New Love, New Life

If you had known me just 2 months earlier, you would know that my go to drink would be Crimson Peach at the local boba shop, Volcano Tea. Well, this might come as a shocker, but, that fact has now changed. Not just my favorite drink, but my favorite boba shop and taste has changed entirely. No longer am I a fan of Volcano Tea whose drinks are a hit or miss depending on the workers. But I am a loyal fan of Jasmine Milk Tea from 7 Leaves. Don't let the simplicity of the name fool you, although this drink is not out of the norm, the addition of the shop's specialty, their honey boba gives the drink a special sweet tang that makes you crave for more and more and more. Many people also like the coffee with sea cream and the Mung Bean drink
.Mung Bean
is a great  antioxidant and jam packed with nutrients for the body. It is not just a delicious drinks but actually serves a purpose besides satisfying one's cravings for sweets on a hot day-or any day actually. So the final verdict? JMT 5/5

If you live in the Garden Grove area, unless you live under a rock, you must know of Volcano Tea House and or Yogurtland that has recently opened  in the area. Although, I myself not a fan, the different colors aspects from the various flavors of yogurt and the toppings make it look it look so appetizing and refreshing on a hot day...or any day for that matter, according to my fellow-friend Yogurt lover. Next door we have the boba drink. Also commonly known as bubbletea or pearl drink or my favorite, Bobz. Bobz is good whenever, wherever, and whatever occasion . Whether on a date or shopping with the parents, boba is a never wrong choice. Felling peckish? No worries, Volcano Tea has a variety of assorted snacks such as popcorn chicken, fried calamari, ponado, shaved ice, french fries, etc...It has a wide variety of teas, milk teas, coffee, or even slushies ,and smoothies. Wide variety for a variety of choices for the consumers. Although Volcano Tea isn't the only boba shops in Garden Grove, it is definitely one of my favorites .
