Would You Like a Cup of Tea?

Hello!

We're going to do something different this week, because I have finals in a few days. Yes, finals. You heard that right. See, I'm on the quarter system, so while all of my friends on the semester system finished school nearly a month ago, I will not be finished until the end of this week.

Unfortunately, I don't have much time to write a review with all of my studying. Instead, I thought I would give you all a list of my top 5 favorite teas! I've been drinking a lot of tea this weekend while I study and while I take some breaks in between subjects to read for fun. Therefore, I figured this would be an appropriate alternative.

Drum roll, please.... 

5) Zhena's Gypsy Tea Italian Chamomile

What's in it?: chamomile blossoms, rose petals, hibiscus flowers, fennel, lemon myrtle, and orange peel

I was given some of this tea for Christmas from my best friend, Chloe. I was beginning to get sick of just regular peppermint tea at night, and this swooped into my life at the perfect time! I love the flavor, and it's really calming right before bed. I had never had chamomile before, and I think this was the perfect way to introduce myself to it. 

4) Twinings Earl Grey Tea

What's in it?: black tea and bergamot flavoring

I've only actually liked tea for about a year now. My roommate, Lanae, got me hooked to just plain black tea the winter of our freshmen year, and soon after I began to explore different tea flavors. Earl Grey quickly became a favorite, and I usually end up getting Twinnings even though there is this really great tea shop up the street that has a better kind. Alas, I don't think they sell large quantities of it, though, so Twinings will do.

3)Twinings Lady Grey Black Tea

What's in it?: black tea, bergamot, orange, and lemon

Oh my goodness. This tea is my life! This is my have once a day tea. This is my run out and immediately have to make a trip to the store for more tea. Earl Grey with ORANGE?! Yes, please! Seriously, get some of this. It's amazing.

2) Choice Organic Lemon Lavender Mint Tea

What's in it?: spearmint, lemongrass, peppermint, lemon peel, lemon oil, and lavender

You know what I said about wanting an exception to the peppermint tea every night? This wins. Oh my goodness this tea is amazing. I haven't had it in months and really need to order some. They used to sell it at the grocery store where we shop, but for some reason they stopped carrying it. I haven't been able to find it anywhere else since then. However, we live in the 21st century, with, you know, online shopping, so I'm going to order some of this now that I've found some online! I can't wait to get more!

1) Lavender Orange Grey Exotic Organic Fair Trade Black Tea Blend 

What's in it?: black tea, bergamot, orange peel, and lavender

See that fancy title? It deserves that fancy title. This tea tastes like heaven in your mouth. It also costs you an arm and a leg to buy. It is so worth it, though. I do not joke around when I say that this is my favorite thing to drink in the entire world. This is my favorite of all things. It is so delicious. As you can probably tell, I like Earl Grey, I like orange, and I like lavender, and this puts all of those things together! It is amazing!

Well, that's all for now! I hope you all have a wonderful week. I know mine will be stressful, but starting next week, I will be able to start posting twice a week and tell you all about my the awesome bookish things I plan on doing this summer!

Until next time,
