Earl Grey Milk Tea, 3:15pm Milk Tea

 

I have found my new favorite drink!!!  It is 3:15pm Milk tea.

I love starting my day with tea...really good tea.





I found this tea at the Asian Grocery Store in Cleveland. 



 I bought 4 bags of it, lol.
The tea was a bag of 15 Earl Grey Lattes for $5.99!!!  

On Amazon the same bag was $15.50, plus $8.50 shipping...ridiculous!




90 calories a cup.



This tea bag has the tea, sugar, and cream in one bag.  I get my water boiling and then I add the tea bag.


Sometimes I let the tea bag sit in the cup the entire time, sometimes I take it out.


But, no matter what I do, I do pull the tea bag up and down from time to time to get the cream and sugar all out.  I also swish it a bit to get all the tea goodness mixed in.

The flavors are so good.  It is like a London Fog to me.......only a lot easier to make.



I purchased another 3:15 that was delicious, it was the Brown Sugar Tea.


There were also some fun other instant teas too I purchased.  All were fantastic prices!

NFS Grape Oolong Tea and Almond Cookies


Oolong is my all time favorite kind of tea.  I love the notes I get from the tea. It is light and also not as much caffeine as black tea, but more than green.  It also is not as grassy tasting as green seems to be at times.


I first purchased the grape and got home and discovered I loved it.  So, when I went back the next time I bought 4 more and I picked up a peach tea too.  



Their labels are pretty and fun too.


They are super low in calories too.  Less than 40!

I picked them up at the Asian Market in Cleveland.  I think they were less than $2 each too.  A great deal and so delicious.  I would say the flavors are really true to the fruit and not artifice tasting at all.




I also picked up some gluten free cookies too.  One was tea flavored, so I figured they counted as being added to my grocery cart...and my tea blog! 

Chocolate Milk
Line and Black Tea
Strawberry Milk
Milk Salt Cheese
Almond Cookies


I thought these would be fun to try.  They were okay, but very dry...which I am sure is the almond powder.  Maybe they were meant to be dipped in something????


These were individually packed and are gluten free.

Kerrie's Cup of Tea in Lego!!!

 

Can you believe what my friend made for me out of Lego???

It is my Kerrie's Cup of Tea shop!  



She got it so right, even down to my glasses and has my cats- Chai Latte and Orange Pekoe there too.


I had so much fun adding it to my tea Lego collection.


Okay, yes, some say coffee...but in my mind, they still sell tea too...hahahaha.




I have added a few tea people...my cat, Orange Pekoe, has knocked some tea Lego sets off the buffet and I have yet to fix them.  So I filled the open spots with some tea figures.



I did the majority of these buildings during Covid.


Legos are a fun creative outlet.

Candy Cloud Matcha and Leven Prime matcha crackers



My cousin and I hit up Cleveland the other day.  We went to Li Wah for dim sum, then we went the Asian Grocery Store.

My favorite thing about Candy Cloud is that they seal the drinks like a pop can.  I usually get multiple drinks and then save them to enjoy through out the week.

I got an iced chai, an iced matcha, a butterfly pea tea lemonade, and an iced milk tea.


Monday at work I was excited to have the Matcha with the matcha crackers I bought at the Asian market.


Leven Prime Matcha Crackers...Azuki Style...per google translate.j


Bag says Leven, but google translate changed it to Leaven Prime Cracker.  Also came up Blimey cracker.                                       


I have to say it was a miss for me.  The crackers were a little oily and the matcha flavor was not strong, so I felt they were a waste to eat.

The tea was great though.

Up to you if you would ever eat these crackers.  Tell me if you eat them and do like them.


But keep trying and keep exploring new things!!

Li Wah, Park to Shop, and Candy Cloud

 

This has become one of my favorite places to take people in Cleveland.  I love dim sum!  It is almost exactly an hour from my house, and I have discovered the grocery store that is attached, and I love it even more.




I would get the tea that they serve you, it is really nice.  I am not sure if it is a green or not.  But, it is light and delicious. 

Then if you go down the hall you run into some other stores and then the grocery store.


I have never seen so many Kit Kat flavors...
peach pie (my cousin got that one and she said it was definitely APPLE PIE), caramel pudding, strawberry, there a Halloween one that said it had Halloween ghosts, there was matcha, milk tea, and so many more.


The bags felt super light.  I didn't buy any, since it felt like there were maybe only 4 or 5 in a bag...and the bag was $5.00

We then went to Candy Cloud in Willoughby Hills- it was maybe 15 minutes away.

My favorite thing about Candy Cloud, is that the bottle the tea like soda and the tea last longer.  I usually get 4 teas and then save them and drink one a day.  You can get them for around $5 a piece, but if you started adding things like espresso, drizzles, syrups, and bubbles the price jumps up.
I also like that I can get the drinks with unsweetened oat milk and there is no extra charge for the oat milk.


They usually have some special seasonal drinks too.
The place is always clean and nice.
