Lou Lan Cha bubble Tea in Munich Germany 2014

I can't believe I forgot to post this Bubble Tea adventure I had in Germany last fall!!!!  One of the last days at my cousins, I decided to google map the nearest bubble tea shop.  I found one was really close!!!  I hopped on my cousins bike and I was off to find the shop.

I don't remember this ride took more than 20 minutes, it was quick and fun!!!!



I found it fairly easily, I think I only had to turn around once- and that was because I was having trouble reading the numbers on the buildings.

I was sooo excited to have found this place on my own!  It was probably a good thing I did not find it until one of my last days there.  The tea was great- I remember thinking I should get another and put it in my bike basket for the place ride home, but then I remembered I could not take it on the plane!!!  (although, I could not tell you now- six months later what I ordered)

I'm a little sweaty, but I made it!  The tea was refreshing!!!

It was a tiny little place, that is why I almost missed it. But, for what they are selling, they do not need a big shop.




On my way home I found the queen!!!  How lucky did I get???

Mixing Teavana Tea-Lavendar Dreams and Pineapple Kona Pop

It's not always okay to play with your food.  But you can ALWAYS play with your tea!!!  Just remember a few things.  If you are mixing different kinds of teas together like White and Herbal- go with the lighter tea on steeping time and water temperature.  When I make this combination- WHICH I LOVE- I make sure the water DOES NOT come to a boil, so I don't bruise the delicate white tea leaves.  And then I steep it 2 minutes, not the 5-6 minutes like I would an herbal tea.  As long as you keep that in mind, I say play away!!!


Enjoy a soothing evening with this delicate white tea infused with the tranquility only lavender can create. Sweet floral harmony is just a cup away with aromatic lavender blossoms, rose buds and sweet peach.
