Foodie Review: The Ooleaf Tea Lounge in Richmond
Ooleaf (乌叶 simplified Chinese) means oolong leaf. It is also a name for a new bubble or boba tea shop in Richmond. To say that they are a “bubble tea” shop is an understatement, they offer high quality brew tea and the bubble is just a cherry on top. I would not categorize Ooleaf as […]

I picked this coffee up from Starbucks while we were traveling to Thailand. It caught my eye because of the colorful packaging and the expensive (650 baht) price tag. Honestly, I do not recall Thailand is known for its coffee, and reading the package it is a blend of Thailand Northern region coffee and other […]
