CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice Philippines

Carmina decided to get something fruity to drink while she was shopping at Ali Mall, Cubao, Philippines. She was able to see a lot of people ordering at CoCo Fresh Tea and Juice. Carmina went to the counter of Coco Fresh Tea & Juice Philippines  and the sales person asked if I wanted to try their Best Seller Mango Dream that has fresh mango inside and Salty Cream for PHP 150.00 ($2.88) including Vat of 12%. The sales person asked for my name to be called when the Mango Dream was prepared and ready to drink. Carmina had enjoyed drinking her Mango Dream and the sales person was right there is fresh mango in my drink. It had reminded me of a popsicle when I was a kid in California. The best part it is not too sweet. NOT SPONSORED. Check out  Carmina Lifestyle YouTube Channel  and click the subscribe for free. Thank you for your support!
