Tea Time!

Hello Loves,
          So the other day I went to the mall with my friend, I wasn't planning on getting anything but I knew they had this tea store called "Teavana" and I wanted to get their tea maker for awhile.. So I went in and ended up getting the gift set. It comes with the tea maker, some teas, a couple of tins, and a tea leaf scooper. I only wanted to get the tea maker which only costed 20 bucks, but i ended up paying like 80 dollars haha.. I need to stop seriously. Anyways, I've just been really into tea lately ever since my great aunt gave me a bag of Sencha green tea, that started my tea obession. So i'm really happy with my purchase! The one cool thing about the tea maker is you place the tea leaves in it and pour however much temperature water it is listed for the tea..you wait a while and when it's ready you place it on top of a cup and the tea dispense in the cup! not messy at all. If you guys have this store near you, definitely go and try their samples!

"Crown & Crumpet" with the lovely ladies for my friend china's late birthday :) i absolutely adore this place and have been wanting to try it for sometime now. The most girly and fun place to hang with the girls and of course take tons of pictures! Everything was too cute even our waitress. This place is located at Ghirardelli Square near fisherman's Wharf, go check it out if you get a chance too.

Coffee and Tea on a Sunday Afternoon

I decided to try this place called "Julie's coffee and tea garden" with my friends since one of them wanted to drink tea, so this place instantly came into my mind because i always wanted to try it. My first reaction was the decor was super cute. They have vintage looking couches and chairs and several large wooden tables for people to study. The menu is pretty extensive with a variety of tea's from black,green,white, and oolong. The staff was pretty friendly and suggested several teas to us. My friend randy went with the sencha green tea, we both never heard of it but it smells pleasant and has a straightforward green tea taste. I decided to go with something from their special's "lavender lemonade" I thought it was refreshing and taste like lemonade with a hint of lavender aftertaste mmmm. I definitely want to come back to try their teas for sure. We spent quite awhile in there, so i think i could see myself studying here instead of the usual Starbucks. If you're interested the place is located in Alameda,CA.

Didn't take that many pictures i only had my phone with me, so don't mind the quality.
