School is back in session. Chilling with some @savoytea's Cape Paradise, a green rooibos packed with tropical fruits, and some 16th century British Lit on the Reformation. I know how to party. Just one more year! . . . #englishmajor #senioryear #thefinalcountdown #english #literature #tea #looseleaftea #teatime #teas #tealove #tealover #ilovetea #teastagram #rooibos #books #reading #bookstagram

Tea spoils from @savoytea! I'm so excited! #tea #looseleaftea #teatime #teas #tealove #tealover #ilovetea #teastagram

Finally made it to @savoytea in Fayetteville! Since it'll probably be awhile until the next trip, I'm double-fisting it. Frozen Red Velvet rooibos tea latte and an Iced Berry Poppins (blackberry and rose black tea). Oh, it's heaven in my mouth! (at Savoy Tea Company)

Watson is enjoying the packing from my Bookish Boxes. 😂 Silly cat. Get him toys and get him toys and he'd rather play with paper and boxes. #bookishbox #unboxed #Watson #BlackCatsRule #fandomcats #sherlock

Well midterm break for summer school is over. But that means only 4 more weeks of class! Yay! (But only 6 more weeks until fall classes! Eek!) Getting a jump on next week's assigned reading, The Handmaid's Tale. I had planned on reading it this summer regardless of requisite. As for tea, I couldn't think of a better one for a hot July night than Midsummer Night's Dream by @davidstea, which is a "dreamy, romantic blend of mint, apple and gooseberries." I can definitely taste the gooseberries, reminding me of the gooseberry bushes we had in my yard as a kid of which my Mamu would make pies and jelly. . . #summer #summerloving #englishmajor #english #reading #books #ilovetoread #goodreads #novels #bookstagram #womenwriters #margaretatwood #thehandmaidstale #tea #looseleaftea #teatime #teas #tealove #tealover #ilovetea #teastagram #herbaltea #davidstea #teacup #july #midsummernightsdream

Green tea and a murder mystery. I don't have much planned today. #tea #looseleaftea #teatime #teas #tealove #tealover #ilovetea #teastagram #greentea #books #reading #ilovetoread #goodreads #novels #irenehannon #mystery #4thofjuly #independanceday #america #chillax

It's been heating up out there the last few days, which my pasty white vampire complexion does not love.🌋☹😂 Given @teastains.on.bookmarks opinion about @savoytea's Ginseng Oolong yesterday I thought I'd try it iced today instead of hot. I sipped on this well into early afternoon (but I didn't leave my house until midmorning 😂) and savored the refreshing flavor. The aroma out of the package had a strong grassy scent reminiscent of China Sencha green tea. I can honestly say the aroma transfers to taste 100%. This tea tastes near identical to Sencha green, perhaps with a slightly sweeter herbal flavor. I enjoyed it iced, but I don't think I would like it as much brewed hot.

Well, summer break is over in 2 days. Summer school starts on Monday. I'm excited and exhausted just thinking about it and that these will all need to be read and written about in the span of 8 weeks. One class closer to graduation though! . . . #books #reading #ilovetoread #goodreads #novels #womenwriters #margaretatwood #thehandmaidstale #zoranealehurston #theireyeswerewatchingGod #katechopin #theawakening #janeausten #prideandprejudice #jhumpalahiri #interpreterofMaladies #englishmajor #summer #summerschool

One of my favorite summer drinks is iced Rooibos tea. This red herbal is lovely hot, but when it is iced it really brings out its fruity flavor with a hint of vanilla. It's great for hydration, but I simply enjoy the refreshing taste. #tea #looseleaftea #teatime #teas #tealove #tealover #ilovetea #teastagram #rooibos #redtea #icedtea #summerloving #summervacation

I brewed up the last of my @savoytea Raspberry Vanilla Rooibos tonight as an iced tea and it was splendid! I definitely need to get more of this. #tea #looseleaftea #teatime #teas #tealove #tealover #ilovetea #teastagram #rooibos #redtea #icedtea #summerloving

I've been seeing the new bottled @teavanatea advertised on television, but was not sure where to find it. Well, I happened upon it at the local grocery store and was thrilled. I selected two bottles: the Mango Black tea and the Peach Green. The mango black was scrumptious! Not too sweet, and definitely not artificial tasting like many of the bottled teas. The peach green was good, but it could have used more peach, because the lemongrass and lemon verbena kind of overpowered it. This is something I'll keep my eyes open for when I'm in the mood for a treat. #tea #tealover #ilovetea #teastagram #greentea #looseleaftea #blacktea #teatime #teas #icedtea #summervacation

Well, lookie there! So awesome! It's a start! @therealKripke @ShawnRyanTV @nbc @timelessnbc #timeless #renewed #timelessrenewed #winning
