Tealoha! (Hipster Coffee Shops)


          Grace, Rachel, and I made our way on Sunday September 1st, 2013 to a new tea shop in town called Tealoha (pronounced TEE-loha - like the Hawaiian saying). It was definitely an experience! It was super spacious and had a marvelous wood carved bar which we all sat at. We ordered our tea, gathered our stuff, and had a seat. We then pulled out all our homework and got to work! (except I was super distracted and distracting - note to self: never sit by a window while doing homework).

 Their window display had a lovely array of loose leaf tea arranged to showcase their different varieties to passer-bys. All I got a look at from inside was the millions of puppies in Greenville, SC on that gorgeous Sunday afternoon! Grace, being super ahead of us, had finished her homework and brought a couple books that she wanted to read with her, while Rachel and I slaved away. Here she is sipping her Jasmine Strawberry SmooTEA:

 
I was fancy and ordered some plain old fruit tea and some water because I was SUPER dehydrated. I ended up giving the tea to Grace and Rachel because it was too sweet for me. Here is a picture of my lovely tea and water:

And last but not least, here is a slightly creepy, accused "lovely" picture of me taken by Grace:
