    Let Me Go And Win This Fight

    I had out-stayed the time allotted to me
    Her eyes pled with mine as I left
    Get this thing off of me so I can win

    Graveyard in the Attic

    The attic felt like a doorway to another present, where the border between the future and the past was homogenous. The remnants of my grandfather’s life merged with the fragments of dreams that haunted my sleep.

    Taylors of Harrogate Lemon & Orange Tea, a Review

    In case the name wasn’t a giveaway about the flavor of tea we’re indulging in here, it’s black tea with lemon and orange essence. It’s a fairly simple blend — just the black tea with the lemon and orange extracts—but it’s a delightful one.

When You Need a Wakeup: Taylors of Harrogate Scottish Breakfast Tea Review

This tea, like all breakfast blends I’ve tried, is a bold, dark, rich black tea. The flavor is slightly reminiscent of a cross between Billy Tea - the trail brew of Aussie ranchers - and English Breakfast. The high caffeine content and intense flavor are going to wake you up if caffeine affects you. It doesn’t happen to do much to me, but I believe this would definitely do it for anybody looking for a “wake me up” cuppa.
