Senpure Taro Milk Tea

 At the Asian grocery store, Park to Shop, they have fun tea items.

These teas were on sale...but two for the price of one.

I love milk tea, so I was excited to try these.  


I also took them to work and shared with three co-workers.  My one friend liked them so much she asked me to buy more when I was up there again.  

With the sale price they were $1 a cup.



I started first with the Taro Milk Tea.

                           

I opened the cup, expecting just to find the powered tea inside.  However, inside was the powered tea, a straw, and jellies!
                                                                                   

I poured the taro power into the cup.
Added hot water and stirred.
Then I added jellies.

                 



I am giving this drink 4 teacups. The flavor was good.  The price was good.  The reason for the 4 teacup review was the sugar.  There is always so much sugar in these instant drinks.  That is why I actually do prefer to make it on my own.


My Recipe-
Hot water, mix of Ceylon and orange Pekoe tea.  Steeped for about 10 minutes, then I pulled the tea back and forth.  Then I add evaporated milk into the cup, about 1/3 of a cup, and then filled the rest of the cup with the black tea.



I love egg tarts!  Egg tarts and milk tea go really well together.


I took the egg tarts to work to share too.  Everyone loved them.  At the Asian Grocery Store you can get 15 egg tarts for $4.95!


The milk tea is just as good as the Taro tea. 









10 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: 11 whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

CLE, Pho, Asian Grocery Store, Orchids and the cemetery

 My mom, sister and I went to Cleveland for the Orchids at the Botanical Garden. Stopped at the Lake View Cemetery, lunch at Sunshine Pho, and stopped at the Asian grocery store.  It was a fun filled day.


If you follow me, you know I have discovered and become a huge fan of the Park and Shop Grocery store in Asian town!




1580 E 30th St, Cleveland, OH 44114


So many fun things and lots of tea items.

I bought this oolong tea to try- I will let you know what I think of it.


I got this white tea cakes that I can't wait to try too.



They also have bubble tea and boba.  The boba is a really good price.  This is where I will start buying it now.  It is around $6.



I bought this tea...yes, this jelly is a tea.  It is funny my friend was JUST telling me about this tea.  I bought it, but I have been afraid to try it...lol.  It is really unique looking. 



I picked up the egg tarts I love so much.  Some for me and some for friends.  I also picked up some mochi. my friend's birthday was coming up and I knew he would love some...and he did.



These oolong teas are around $1.25, and they are fantastic, so I picked them up too.  The grape oolong on the far left is my favorite!


So many fun teas to try.  The instant milk teas here are great.  The flavors are really fun too. I was hoping for the Earl Grey that I had gotten a few weeks ago, but they were out of it.


I am always fascinated by the chip flavors too.


Always unique cookies and treats too.


We ate at Sunshine Pho.  It was excellent.

We then headed to the Orchids at the Botanical Garden.  I admit I more went to hang out with my mom and sister.  It is not something I would have done on my own.  But, I loved it.   I had no idea there were so many kinds of orchids.  
It was $20 to get.





I'm not sure how many times I thought to myself, I bet God had so much fun creating these flowers!  They are incredibly unique and beautiful.  



The Botanical Garden did a great job with their displays.





We then went to a Lake View cemetery to find a waterfall and we saw where President Garfield was buried. 



Also below left is the grave for JD Rockefeller, Sr.  On the right is “The Angel of Death Victorious” also known as the “Haserot Angel”.

"The statue’s most striking feature, however, is how death’s guardian appears to be weeping black tears, which pour from its eyes and drip down its neck. These “tears” formed over time, probably an effect of the aging bronze combined with the impressive sculpting work of the piece itself. As a result, it is often referred to as the Weeping Angel. The work was created by the Danish sculptor Herman N. Matzen who, originally from Detroit, studied in Europe and then returned to the United States, becoming one of Cleveland’s most famous artists. He died in 1938, at the age of 77, and was buried in the same cemetery as his famous angel.
Although Lake View Cemetery stretches over 280 acres, many visitors take the time to go searching for this melancholy sentinel. Even though she is undeniably macabre, she is also undeniably beautiful.
The angel is located in Section 9 on Lot 14."
