View this post on Instagram Drinks made for Royal-Tea 👑 @royaltea_calgary has become one of my fave bbt stores in Calgary ever since they opened up! I love their huge menu of drinks and cute cups 😍 — Featured: ▫️Galaxy Passionfruit Green Tea with Tapioca (Bear Cup) ▫️Fresh Grape Oolong with Mousse (1L Cup) ▫️OG Matcha Milk Tea with Grass Jelly (Bear Cup) — All the drink flavors we got were delicious once again!! The only thing is that the 1L Cup didn’t really have much of the drink in it ☹️ As you can tell from the photo, it’s like 1/3 mousse, 1/3 slushy ice, 1/3 drink, so we were a bit disappointment from that. — 📍YYC @royaltea_calgary #jphamfood A post shared by EAT WITH JENNY 💖 | YYC FOODIE (@yoursweetthang) on Sep 21, 2020 at 10:49am PDT Website Drink All The Tequila Address: #2, 2116 – 4th St. S.W., Calgary, AB Why You Need To Go: Canada’s largest tequila menu is right here in Calgary.
