Happy Friday Everyone! It was 48 degrees when I left the house this morning. Quite chilly but very nice :)

Nick picked the tea again but it's one of my favorite brands of teas. I pretty much like all the tea they make.

So here we go...

Tea: Hawaiian Islands Tea Company, Hibiscus Honey Lemon Green Tea
Like?: I really like this tea.
Where to buy: http://hawaiianislandstea.com/ Or you can use it as an excuse to take a trip to Hawaii to pick it up in person. :)
Grade: A-

This tea is delicious. It has a very light aroma, so it's not very strong. Just by smelling it you can't really tell what tea it is. I really like green teas but I am wary of how long they are steeped because of their bitter flavor. However, this tea could be left in your mug with the bag all day because it doesn't generate that bitter green tea taste. It is a slightly fruity tea but tastes more like green tea than anything else. I am not very familiar with the flavor of hibiscus so it is difficult for me to identify where that flavor is. I taste a subtle hint of lemon but it's not overpowering so it's nice on the pallet. It definitely leaves a green tea after taste. So if you are into exotic and tropical teas, I definitely recommend anything from the Hawaiian Islands Tea Company. And I definitely recommend this tea.

And for dinner...
Nick and I are going to In-N-Out! YAY! I have been craving In-N-Out for like weeks now. A grilled cheese and those yummy fries with a Neapolitan shake is just what I need right now. Well okay, I don't need it, but it sounds delicious!

Saturday night Nick and I are going to one of our favorite places, Tony and Albas. It is this yummy pizza and pasta, family owned and operated restaurant by the mall. We are going on a date so we'll probably walk around Santana Row, get some Ben and Jerrys ice cream and see a movie. I love my husband :)

Have a great weekend everyone! See you Monday for tea!
