Blue Sky Jamaican ginger ale: This drink has a more prominent ginger flavor than your typical canned ginger ale, but it's also quite sweet and familiar to those who don't want an overwhelmingly spicy soda. Decent option without high fructose corn syrup. Personally, I prefer spicier and less sweet. 3.0/5.0

Asha Tea House strawberry black tea with grass jelly: A small tea shop with locations in Berkeley and Sam Francisco, Asha offers several milk and fruit tea options. I was thoroughly impressed with the strawberry tea I ordered, which contained real crushed strawberries. The strawberry seeds added great texture, and the grass jelly complemented the herbal black tea. While the strawberry "purée" was on the sweet side, the rest of the drink appeared to be unsweetened. Highly recommended. 4.5/5.0

Farm Fresh to You fresh squeezed orange juice: Purchased from the Ferry Building in SF, this drink was slightly better than Tropicana, though I wish it contained pulp and had a sharper citrus flavor. 2.5/5.0

Clover organic peach Greek yogurt: I've always wondered why fruit-on-the-bottom peach yogurt seems to taste the same no matter the brand: it bears some resemblance to peaches but also has a flavor distinct to dairy products. This product is no exception. The yogurt itself is less thick than Fage and also had a more neutral flavor. Purchased from Safeway. 2.5/5.0

Daelmans caramel Stroopwafel: I received this free Dutch snack on a recent United flight. The sweet waffle-like cookie has a chewy caramel-flavored center. Overall, I found the cookie too sweet, but the texture was satisfying. 3.0/5.0

Kung Fu Tea peach oolong tea with boba: While I was told this tea drink has no sugar, it was clear that was false on the first sip. The sweetness isn't overwhelming but significantly more than zero. Peach and herbal flavor is above average. The boba was too squishy, but the jelly that came with the drinks was good. 3.0/5.0
