Had a fun evening with my friend Jordan
at one of the prettiest Starbucks stores in Tokyo!

We both decided to try Cameroon Mount Oku.




Cameroon Mount Oku


Guatemala Antigua Finca Medina



The barista who made our drinks
was nice enough to make us a small cup of
Guatemala Antigua Finca Medina.

Jordan taught me how to compare the two.

Talking about the coffee beans
and learning about how to smell and sip.
It was actually like a one-on-one coffee tasting.

PS: Jordan is the best teacher :D

Valencia Passion Tea


We were actually there for a pretty long time.
But, you know, time flies when your having fun!

AEON Mall Niihama (イオンモール新居浜店)


HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Retail stores all over Japan set out
special bags filled with the store products in it
called a Fuku-bukuro.

A lot of the Starbucks stores do this, too.

I bought my first bag last year and liked it so much
I bought another one this year!


Casi Cielo
Shade Grown Mexico

White Fuku-bukuro



There were two types of Fuku-bukuro:
5,000yen Bag (Black)
3,000yen Bag (White)



Inside the 5,000yen bag:

Big Heart Tumbler
Summer Paper Plane Tumbler
House Blend Coffee Bean (250g)
Pike Place Roast Coffee Bean (250g)
Starbucks VIA Columbia (12 sticks)
Ceramic Dripper and Mug
Logo Cup Rubber Band
Beverage Card


Inside the 3,000yen bag:

Double Wall Stainless Steel Cup
Breakfast Blend Coffee Bean (70g)
Stainless Steel Candle Light Ring Tumbler
Starbucks VIA Lightnote Blend (3 sticks)

Two Beverage Cards


My sister and I ended up swapping a couple things,
which is what a lot of people do when they buy a fuku-bukuro.

I think this is going to become a tradition!
