- Join me on this rainy day, as I shop for teas, apparel, and grab lunch from one of my favorite Cuban restaurants on the outskirts of Charlotte, NC. I also prepare a Ku Ding Tea for the first time!

Thank you for sharing the tea restaurant and the new tea. I so love your vibe.
Thanks so much, Patricia!🙏🏽💛✨
The foods look delicious!!!😋😋😋 Bitter is good for your health.
So cozy
Thanks!✨
I love teas as well 🙌🏾
Fellow tea lover!🙌🏽💛✨
Hi Laki, I hope that youh had a good day. The rain has been steady the past few days and I appreciate the brief moments of sunshine. I will add Azucar Cuban restaurant to me list of to do's. your meal looks yummy. Thank you for today's video.
Thanks!✨ And yes, definitely worth the drive from Charlotte! You’ll just have to bring your own cup if you want a to-go tea, as they don’t have to-go cups. The first time I ordered to-go, the gentleman informed me of this. Tell me why I went next door to the gas station, and bought a cup of ice.😂 It was one of my ratchet moments, but worth a good laugh. Now, I bring in my stemless container each time. They’re used to me by now!💛 Lmk what you think if you try them out! Also, they have live music weekly! 💃
That food looks good!
You seem to have so much peace in your space🙏🏾
Thanks!✨ The space has definitely evolved. I’m content with its current design.💛
That's food looked sooo good!
Thanks so much!🙏🏽💛
💽📻📻❤
Oh, Shut Papa's medicine cabinet, that dish 🍽 looks good!! 😋
You have the best sayings!😂🤣🙌🏽
@Laki Kaia 😂😂 thank you, my friend!💚 🫠 🫖 ☕️
I need to start drinking more tea. I never heard of that . I am going to look it up. The food looks yummy!!!
Thanks, Chelle!💛 It was my first time trying the Kuding. It was bitter, but the health benefits outweigh the taste. I love a good Silver Needle Tea, Lavender Tisane, or an aged Pu-erh!🍵
@@lakikaia ok I am going to research all of those . Thank you
Haha! You looked like you did a shot of tequila when you drank that tea! Hoping it's wonderful for you!
That’s funny!😂 Thanks!✨
The food looks delicious 😋 I am a tea ☕ lover as well 💕 definitely going to see if I can find that tea! 😊 Is there any particular app that you use for Bible Study? 📖 God bless you my friend! 🙏🏾
Thanks, Cathy!💛✨ Fellow tea lover, & sister in Christ!🙌🏽 I’ve been reading the New Testament, & will circle back to the Old Testament. In addition, I flip to wherever I’m lead in the Bible. Today, I flipped to the Book of Psalms.❤️
@@lakikaia you're welcome 🙏🏾 💕😊
@@cathyfarmer1763I’m open to suggestions if there are any Bible study apps you recommend!💛✨
Good looks great. Where did you get that tea set for your loose tea. I love that
Thanks!✨ I purchased the teapot with strainer, and tea cups from Hemp & Tea Co. Their website is hempandteaco.com
@@lakikaia thank you so very much. Have a blessed ny
WoW! The food looked amazing! I'm sure it was🔥
You said you were told that the Ku Ding tea is only carried in 2 places on the East Coast. Does that mean that the tea purchased anywhere else is in-authentic or just not available anywhere else? (Amazon, eBay, etc?) Thanks
The food was delicious!✨ I’m honestly not sure of the answer to your question regarding the authenticity of Kuding sourced from other sellers, as I was just introduced to Kuding this past weekend. I was simply sharing the information that was shared with me. I purchased the Kuding in the video from Hemp & Tea Co. They may be able to answer your question with confidence!
Thanks for watching my video, & for your comments!🙏🏽💛✨
That food looked soooo good were you able to feed the duckie? I was just in ga and sc now I’m in Ohio the weather is soooo much cooler looove it but hate the roads lol big ol pot holes🤣🤣
Thanks!✨ I sprinkled crackers out for the duck 🦆, but it waddled away. Hopefully it’ll be back later to eat… and perhaps with some duck friends. I left the remainder of the pack of saltines with one of the local vendors to feed the ducks at a later time as well.
Pot holes suck! You’d think the roads would be in better condition based on the amount of taxes our local government collects!
Safe & Happy Travels my friend!💛✨
@@lakikaia yessss he probably went to get all his friends like hey the foods over here🤣🤣 be safe beautiful I can’t wait til u upload again!
🏆🌹🏁
Thanks, Regina!🙏🏽💛✨
@@lakikaia your welcome love 🥰
Oh wish I could visit that tea and hemp store. How fab. 😊 Please keep sharing . Blessings from NZ 🙏
Thanks, Cath!💛✨ Blessings!🙏🏽
Naps are always on the docket for those who do vanlife. 😴
I love a good nap!😊🙌🏽
Im going to be in my van for a year or so in Charlotte starting this July. Do you have any suggestions of safe places to stealth park?
Because of safety concerns, personally I am more comfortable with recommending overnight parking in places that allow it, rather than stealth parking. CLT is growing, but unfortunately so is the crime rate.
In the Charlotte region, Cracker Barrel and Cabela’s currently allow complimentary overnight parking. More often than not, others will also be overnight camping at those locations, & their parking lots are well lit.
Budget permitting, I’d highly recommend that you stay a night or so at Lake Norman State Park. They offer clean restrooms & showers (even though I bring my own), beautiful views (check out their online map for lake view spots), kayaking, hiking trails, & more. The last time I stayed there, I paid around $23/night, but it was totally worth it!
Safe travels! And welcome to the Queen City (soon)! Feel free to message me should you have any other questions!✨
@@lakikaia Thank you so much!
