Tea for My Sanity

Happy Tuesday! So I’m going tow warn you all: posts for the next week and a half may end up having a lot to do with studying… especially since my computer debacle has left me drowning in work. I now have to make outlines in one week that I had been spending weeks and weeks working on!

But, it will be fine. It HAS to be! Haha

So anyway, back to studying. Or, study spots, really.

I already told you about The Noble Tree. Well, here’s another great study spot: the Bourgeoisie Pig. I’ve actually been there to study and eat several times before. My parents went there for breakfast last year when they were visiting and raved about it! They have a great breakfast, lunch and dinner menu, tons of coffee drinks and a huge tea selection! They were even featured by Rachel Ray as one of the Top 6 Out of the Ordinary places to eat.

I was surprised to see that they had gotten even bigger: they bought the house next to them and doubled in size! But because the two are separated and both have a main floor and upstairs, it still has the quaint small-house feel.

Since they don’t have almond milk (and I did not bring my own…) I decided to check out their tea selection. Since it was getting late, I wanted something decaffeinated and ended up choosing the Honey Rooibos.

It turned out really good! I had fun looking at all their jars of tea and then picking out the one I wanted; it was more like an activity!

I headed up the stairs and found a seat. Then I noticed this:

Haha I actually found it pretty ironic! Here I am studying for law school, and there is a justice’s old chair! I love that all of there furniture is horribly mismatched, it makes me feel like I’m in an old home!

And speaking of teas, I decided to order some more tea from Adagio!

I loved the holiday sampler I got the last time, but realized I didn’t have any decaffeinated teas for later in the day. Since I like chai tea a lot, I wanted to try the black tea decaf sampler set:

It included vanilla, apricot, orange and tropics!

I also ended up ordering a sample of  their rooibos cinnamon apple. I saw it when I was browsing and just had to give it a try, it sounded so good!

And it was! Although I love chai, my second favorite type of tea is rooibos, especially when it’s a fruity flavor!

The only other tea that I’ve tried out so far was the apricot, and it was pretty good. The fruity flavor didn’t come out quite as much as I would have hoped, but it was still a good tasting, fairly neutral tea.

Alright, enough of a study break, back to work!

What is your favorite type of tea? Or do you not like it at all?

Do you prefer fresh and new coffee shops/restaurants, or old more antique/homey feeling places?
