Another good place to study. They even have the occasional “gluten free” (in quotes because it’s a shared use kitchen) treats available! I like getting a pot of tea and sitting there to study.

To be honest, I mostly go here to drink bubble tea or randomly flavoured milkshakes and study. I think I’ve had hot tea once and I don’t remember what it was (probably Earl Grey). That being said, it’s an excellent place to get a cup of something and study.

Bio

Black teas are my favourite, although I do drink the occasional green tea. I am exploring herbal and fruity teas for summer icing and winter evenings, and oolong and pu erh are new and exciting… although I do not like an oolong that tastes mostly of seaweed. I avoid mint, and my BFF is allergic to raspberries, so I read a lot of ingredient listings.

I have discovered that I do not like teas that are too roasty and toasty. Some Rig Red Robe teas are ok, some Yunnan Blacks are ok, some hojichas are ok. Just some. I seem to prefer traditional blends (oh Irish breakfast), Assam, Ceylon and Nilgiri types as unflavored morning caffeine boosts. Flavoured black teas are closest to my heart, and therefore take up the most room in my stomach.

My ratings are based on the little faces, and depend on what face I make when I sip the tea! :)

(Isn’t that a bling-tastic tea cup?)
