After I wrote my Boba in Berkeley post, I figured that if I didn't get my butt down to Asha Tea House now, I never would.
Why you may ask?
Well, that's simple. I'm lazy to walk, I'm a cheap college student and I know boba is unhealthy. Most days, at least one of the three apply.
But I knew today was a good day to get boba because 1) my lovely friend, Mayra, was driving, 2) I didn't feel that cheap today, and 3) I had a "screw-the-unhealthy-part-of-boba" mentality. So off to Asha I went!

I yelped this place beforehand to see what their signature drink was and it turned out to be this lovely fellow: behold, The Matcha Green Latte with Pearls
I didn't really know if I would like matcha flavored stuff, but it turns out that I do. I wouldn't recommend it to people who like syrupy tastes more than tea flavor because this drink is not that sweet (with the exception of the sweet tapioca balls) and the matcha chunks are bitter. I like it because I absolutely adore green tea, but hey, it might not be your thing. If that's the case, I would go with one of their other milk teas or fruit teas. But, the catch is that you MUST enjoy the taste of tea. Asha's is like the Peets of the coffee world. If you want strong coffee you go to Peets instead of Starbucks. Similarly, if you want good strong tea, go to Asha's instead of some random boba place in South Berkeley. The drivewalkbusbikeanymodeoftransportationtogetthere is worth it. Trust me.
And I have to thank the lovely ladies who accompanied me.

Asha was well worth the wait after all this time. I stand behind my rating of 4.5/5 one hundred percent. I'm excited to go back and sample some more drinks!

Okay, so announcements!
First of all, I apologize for not getting a post out every week. I've got a busy summer schedule, but I do plan on blogging as often as possible. It gets hard sometimes to find inspiration, but when I do, bam, you get your post. So, please be patient with me! I appreciate it!
Also, next post by me should be some type of article/you get to read my thoughts/rants/opinions on gluten free lifestyle and such. Those types of posts are my favorite, but if all our readers out there would like to shoot some ideas over to me, I would be happy to consider writing about those as well.
Until next post,
Kris
