fujian rain
Based on 857 reviews
Fujian Rain or Shui Xian, which translates to "Water Sprite," is an oolong produced in a similar style to Wuyi Oolongs. Therefore they share some similar traits, such as peachy-honey notes and a mineral "rock taste." Grown at an elevation of 800 meters, this high-fired, medium grade version results in a rich-tasting amber colored cup with the nuances of minerals, apricots and spice. Great for an everyday oolong option.
Moderate caffeine | Steep at 195° for 2-3 minutes

You too Kimberly, lovely photo tonight as always! That is such a sweet little penguin.
12:06 am
When I saw the words "Water Sprite" I got excited! Please enjoy this lovely merdragon guarding her sandcastle <3
12:00 am
What a cutie!!
12:01 am
The castle is a lovely touch. Your Dragon looks quite confident.
12:06 am
Welcome to a new week! Only wish we’d really get some rain.
12:01 am
Bambi, we need rain so bad also. It's so dry!!
12:02 am
😥 dry, and hot! Last week the forecast had this week cooling off by about 10 degrees, but it turns out that was just wishful thinking. It looks like we have another week of 100 plus degrees. Chasi, I love your easy gaiwan I have been looking at that one for a while now. But I keep trying to use some restraint, hahaha. Never mind, that I have a couple teapots wending their way to me from Etsy.
12:08 am
We desperately need rain too
09:12 am
This was a fun tea to try.
12:02 am
Spent the weekend visiting my son. Have to drive home in the morning. 😞
12:03 am
have a safe drive home!
01:09 am
Vickie, it’s so hard to leave. Safe travels home!
04:23 am
I know I am so blessed that I get to see my mom every day. Hopefully you can see your son again soon! 😊
06:02 am
I hope you had a wonderful visit. Safe travels home!
06:59 am
Safe travels...I hope you had a nice visit
09:13 am
Happy Monday! My picture is one of the batches of Boston cream donuts I made for my sister and her fiance on Saturday 🍩 I'll be making the desserts for their engagement party next weekend so these were testers. They seemed to be well received so hopefully next week will be good too, good night everyone!
12:03 am
They look amazing!!! You make such delicious treats!!!
12:03 am
Thank you so much!!
12:04 am
Sara, those are impressive! Yum!
04:24 am
My brother and nieces live in the Newport area. Maybe I need to pay them a surprise visit and come sample some of your goodies! 😁😉
04:45 am
They look delicious...my favorite donut
09:13 am
Boston cream are my favorite! I'm drooling!
11:11 am
That’s the only donut flavor I miss…
11:22 am
My hubby would have been happy to test them for you.
02:09 pm
Hello tea fronds! 🪴❤️ I decided to try this one Gongfu style. It was delicious! I just love the Oolongs. Happy Monday!
12:04 am
Chasi 🫖🪴, I do, too. This is one of my favorite oolongs from Adagio. I keep it in my office, and always gongfu brew in there. It's so easy to keep a big thermos carafe of water next to my tea station and I can keep going for three or four hours at a time. Except for the obvious breaks, LOL. I hope you have a great week.

Is anyone else having trouble expanding the chat window tonight? I'm going to try rebooting my phone, maybe this squished up a little space will go away then. EDIT the reboot solved the problem. Thank you though!

Good morning, Marlicia! I feel like that sweet kitten, sleepy and preferring to snuggle under the covers! Have a great day 😘
04:20 am
That made me smile, Shelly. Thank you for that. I think we have all felt that way at one time or another. 😇 I hope you had a great vacation and that you are well rested for your return to work. God bless....
04:33 am
Back to work after a productive vacation, I’m going to make the best of it 😎 Have a marvelous Monday!
04:22 am
Glad to hear you had a productive vacation. Hope your first day back goes smoothly.
05:21 am
Thank you, Nancy. I spent the time in my shower sending lots of love and peace into the Universe hoping it makes today a bit easier for some. Work has been tough, but I’m rested and ready. Have a great day! 😘
05:45 am
I hope your day is better than expected.
02:14 pm
Thank you, Mary! It wasn’t too bad 😘
04:20 pm
Thanks for the good vibes today Shelly. It's been crazy here at work too, and we're short-staffed so it's much appreciated. I'm sending some your way too!
03:27 pm
Aw, Nancy! Thank you for sending some my way! I think it worked 😘 I hope things improve at your job!

Happy Birthday, Ali R. 🥳🫖🎂🤩

Good morning
04:40 am
This is an appropriate tea for today. We have a 100% chance of RAIN today! I tried to find a picture of China to color, but all I could find were Japanese ones.
04:48 am
Ruth, same here. The rain yesterday was a nice excuse to slow down and take it easy. I’ve had a headache for the past 24 hours, but the rain is welcome and there’s always Motrin and napping. Have a great day!
05:47 am
Hope you are feeling better soon!
11:42 am
I wish it wasn’t going to pour this afternoon and evening, I’m supposed to be camping but only heading to the site tomorrow because of the weather
01:03 pm
It looks like Jim is recommending a hot water rinse for today's tea.
04:51 am
Yes, I caught that as well.
06:35 am
I need to get better at checking reviews before brewing!!!
10:13 am
His reviews are always so helpful.
11:57 am
Happy Birthday Ali!!
06:02 am
Hope you all have a great start to the week.
06:07 am
Same to you, Sue 😘
06:38 am
Good morning, everyone! Couldn't sleep so I finally just got up. This is the 1st morning I've woken up without a fever and I actually feel great! Looks like I'm back to being on the mend. Unfortunately, I was an emotion bomb last night. My mom has been sick for a very long time and I am now having the same symptoms that she's having and I do not wish this on anyone. I cannot imagine living with this for a year or more, but my mom has been going through it every day. And just that realization coupled with my frustration with the urgent care, I really just blew up. I was angry, then I was so sad I was crying, and then I just... dissociated. Like, I felt like I was outside of my body and my feelings weren't mine. It was weird. Probably a mix of me being sick and being on medication. 😳 But still I feel really bad that it happened. Will be brewing today's tea soon to hopefully wash away some of this. 😊
06:08 am
I am praying you heal quickly, and am sending healing, strength, and love to you and your mom
06:26 am
Thank you so much! I really, really appreciate it. <3 If anything, I am grateful, in a weird way, that I can now understand what she goes through.
06:29 am
I’m glad you’re feeling better this morning, Cassidy. I will keep you and your mom in my prayers.
06:38 am
Thank you very much! <3
06:48 am
Cassidy, sending healing prayers of strength and peace. Much love to you and your mama 😘
06:40 am
Thank you so much! 😃
06:48 am
Sending good vibes and love to you and your Mom...glad you are feeling better this morning.
09:20 am
Thank you so much! I just got 2 more days off from HR so I'll be back to work Wednesday unless something crazy happens. It's just, even though I'm getting better, I'm having trouble regulating my emotions and my brain feels like it's on another planet. It's freaky!
10:04 am
Glad your feeling better, Cassidy! And happy to hear HR is giving you a few extra days so you can continue to take care of you. Your mental health is just as important as your physical health.
11:23 am
Yes! I am very grateful that they care about me and they're very flexible working with me. I feel bad for missing work but I just can't work like this... :(
12:37 pm
Forgive yourself, dear Cassidy. We've all probably done that at some time or another, when things pile up on us. I hope you continue to recover without any further setbacks. Hugs. So sorry your mom is having a tough time of it. I hope she can find some relief.
02:20 pm
Thank you so much! Sometimes the hardest person to forgive is yourself. ❤️ I'm currently waiting to see if I'm allowed to take Tums because food is just killing my stomach.
03:34 pm
Get out of the doghouse is not a phrase I really hear anymore! So many proverbs and idioms seem to be disappearing. What phrases that have meaning beyond just the words do you use. Think things like cute as a button, raining cats and dogs, too many cooks spoil the broth, look before you leap, or nothing ventured nothing gained.
06:36 am
I love idioms! I have a few modern twists I use when training residents. They giggle when I say “Are you mopping what I’m spilling?” or “Are you picking up what I’m putting down?” Idioms make language so colorful and fun 😎
06:46 am
We say, are you bagging what I'm mowing!
08:19 am
I believe these are considered idioms... I say Pull myself together, So far so good, Speak of the devil, The last straw, Best of both worlds, Bent out of shape, etc. Actually, the more I think about it, the more I think I just speak in idioms. Hahaha! 🤣
06:47 am
You are hitting the nail on the head! I speak them often,but often mixed up!
08:19 am
My family uses "off like a herd of turtles" all the time! Apparently, the original phrase was "off like a herd of turtles in a sandstorm" and it was something my grandmother picked up when she lived in Baghdad as a young woman when her dad was stationed there.
01:08 pm
I was slower than molasses responding, but this is tearrific!
07:19 pm
I once heard someone say "as useful as a chocolate teapot" instead of "as useful as a rubber crutch" and I'll admit I've used the former a few times since then. LOL
01:41 pm
That is the bees knees!
07:21 pm
Here goes...tempest in a teapot, bull in a China shop, rose among thorns, piece of cake, kill two birds with one stone, once in a blue moon, pull someone's leg, bend over backwards, has cold feet...
02:31 pm
You are on fire!
07:21 pm
Happy birthday, Ali! 🎂🎉🎁🎈
06:39 am
Good morning all! I hope everyone has a good Monday. I’m looking forward to welcoming 2 co-workers back from their vacations today! Today’s tea is very good and I finally found out that unaltered oolong tea is a good accompaniment for Swiss muesli. Coffee tastes terrible with it, as do some flavored teas, so now I know what to brew in the future!
06:44 am
Happy Birthday Ali!🎉🎈🎂

Good morning everyone!!!

Good morning! It is a hectic week this week but I anticipate it being a good one. Blessings!

07:03 am
07:04 am
Thank you, Julie! Same back atcha!
04:25 pm
Oh my gosh, today's tea was so good that I forgot to take a picture! Hahaha!! 🤣 So I took a picture of just the mug instead. 😝

Happiest of Birthdays Ali! 🎈🎁🧁🧁🎁🎈

Happy birthday Ali!🎂
07:30 am
Well - my missing a day wiped out my streaks - all of them. Best family reunion yet, so worth it. Just weird to be so close to 800 days and now be on day 2. Ha! Ha!
07:38 am
Actually, it looks like your number of total days shows 804 according to the “yay, meh, and nay” votes. BTW, congrats on hanging there.
09:24 am
I think that number is how many times you’ve rated - not consecutive days.
10:05 am
You too, Jim - 818! Wow! I like seeing those numbers, so I think I will ignore the streak from now on. BTW: I so Enjoy reading your tea reviews!
10:13 am
Glad you had a great time at the reunion - and you’ve got the perfect attitude. Time with them is more important than any streak. Have a great day.
10:04 am
I feel like there is a streaking with family joke to be told here! 😆
01:14 pm
It's always such a bummer to lose your streaks! But glad you enjoyed your reunion!
11:32 am
Happy birthday, Ali!!! May all your tea steep well!

Good morning ! Fujian Rain brought some much needed rain to the area. Just enjoying my tea and enjoying the rain ☔️
08:56 am
Wine country is still beautiful in the rain!
11:40 am
Happy Monday! I have a few tea cards I'm willing to trade around to get more matching ones if anyone's interested. I have hazelnut, earl grey bravo, and English breakfast

I was going to check out some coffee at the Lardera site, but it's down. I'll have to check back later.
09:55 am
Weird! I just realized I can't access it either. I hope it means something good - like maybe Ilya has some new products he's adding or something. :D
10:05 am
Good morning - tea is ready to travel with me for a day of quilt shop hopping.
10:06 am
love looking at quilts! have a great time, Bambi!
11:51 pm
Good Monday morning everyone! I hope you all have a great day. I'm off to check in on my friend's cat and then off to work. I can't find my black matcha, so it looks like I'll be in a tea deficit today 🙁
10:17 am
I started with black matcha this morning! Such a good on the go option. I swear I didn’t take yours though!
11:21 am
Good MoonDay Morn, dear Tea Fronds, Friends and Fam. So, Fujian Rain is not in my acquired taste, just yet. Wish I could pass my cup to one of y'allz, who really like it. So! Its a Scoops Troop yummy vibe...on this hazy, mysty mystical, damp, rainy PA morn. My pic today was of a fav moment with my Bestie..when a late afternoon T-storm rolled in this wknd. Enjoying the rain, from the porch and hearing ethereal notes on the wind of music~ Live or a recording, from some kinda event in the distance. 'Twas magickal! ⛈️🎶🌬🏡👫☮️
10:20 am
Send some rain my way! It's too hot!! XD
11:10 am
Happy Birthday, Ali!
10:34 am
10:36 am
I knowww, I get so mad at myself when I forget to flip it! T_T
11:10 am
Ruth, your comment reminded me that I still need to flip mine. I forgot to flip it on Friday. Oh well... Now I'll have something to look forward to on Monday mornings, until I forget again. LOL
11:31 am
Ruth, I roll my eyes because I keep doing that too! We need to set a reminder like Carrie does 😉
04:28 pm
Once I forgot till 10:07pm on Sundays, I said enough with forgetting, I set a permanent alarm for 10:07pm on Sundays. And let me tell you I would absolutely forget to flip my card otherwise, because that alarm goes off and always scares the bejesus out of me. 🤣💜
06:11 pm
Ugghhh, I keep doing that, too!
10:42 pm
Good morning, all... it's a Monday and I already need another pot of tea.
10:58 am
I love your review, Cindi! Sure does make the essence of this tea exciting. And Jim, I love your reviews and look forward to read them each day. I also like the name "Black Dragon," for this tea. "Water Sprite" is cool, too!
11:03 am
Thanks, Twyla! I wish I could like oolongs, but there is just something nasty-tasting to me about them. :P Glad you liked my review though! :)
01:33 pm
I've had this tea before, but realized I never reviewed it.
11:16 am
Happy Birthday, Ali!
11:32 am
Gonna have today's tea hot I think, I can feel it in my jellies that it's the way to go.
11:46 am
Today's pic is the bra I'm in the process of making. It's very cute and pretty so far, although not the style I typically wear anymore now that I'm an old married lady 😂
11:47 am
Love the color, Sharon!
01:42 pm
Ah, I love oolongs so much. Since I'm not working today, I think I'll take some time to just enjoy some really good teas. I acquired a purple tea while I was on vacation, so I may do a session with either that or some break open one of my pu erh cakes.
11:48 am
I've never met an oolong I didn't like. ;D
12:34 pm
Samantha, those hot air balloons are amazing!
11:51 am
today is my 200th day visit! how time flies :) don’t know when i’ll be able to pop into chat tomorrow though, taking our pup to the speciality vet! fingers crossed we can get some answers about his problem
12:00 pm
Congratulations for making the 200 day milestone, Dog Fella. I hope the specialist is able to help you pup. God bless...
12:11 pm
Hope your pup is okay. Will await your update. Pats and rubs for your fur baby.
02:44 pm
Keep us posted! Hope all is well 😘
04:30 pm
Happy 200!! Good luck tomorrow at the vet😘😘😘
06:13 pm
This is a nice tea, the flavor is mild, but pleasant.
12:09 pm
Good morning friends! I'm usually kinda neutral on oolongs, but this one was pretty good.
12:17 pm
I'm so excited for the september box to come online for sale! I have some golden monkey and scoops troop waiting patiently in my cart
12:30 pm
Good morning, tea friends!
12:35 pm
Morning Cindi!
12:36 pm
Morning, Cindi! How are you doing?
12:36 pm
Hi Julie and Meg! I'm good, how are you guys doing? I haven't really updated my crazy life in such a long time, I need to! Things have been looking up in my little part of the world lately. :)
12:38 pm
😘😘😘😘
06:13 pm
TRADES: I have portion size cards available for trade: Taurus, Peach (black tea), Peach oolong, Berry Blast, Mango (black), and Honeybush vanilla. I can't have ginseng, mate or chamomile (allergies) and I don't like rose in tea.....but I'm open to just about any other trades! Send me an offer! :)
12:35 pm
I saw a documentary over the weekend on Val Kilmer. In it, they featured parts of his Citizen (Mark) Twain stage performances. One of his jokes was “Why is there no cat food that is mouse-flavored?” A valid question!
12:52 pm
I used to work at a school called (Joyce) Kilmer. A few years ago he came to a con in my area that I couldn't go to (it was on EASTER WEEKEND, which also happened to be a family reunion AND my mom's bday) and I am STILL upset I couldn't get him to sign a t-shirt and/or get a picture with him while wearing a shirt!!
02:00 pm
Was that you or him that would be wearing a shirt?? Sorry, my mind just went there!!
02:47 pm
Mary, those photos go by so quick, that it would have to be me...but I might ask him to hold one up - or leave one with him!
02:53 pm
As for human tastebuds, I enjoyed today’s tea sample. 💕☕️
12:53 pm
The CommuniTea tab looks so different!
01:02 pm
G'day TEAps! I don't have this month's box, but I get to drink along with you today because I received a free sample of this tea a couple orders ago. So...I'm enjoying Fujian Rain all day: I had it hot this morning, and on Julie W's recommendation, I decided to try it cold-brewed. It turned out really nicely; the color was pale, but the flavor came through quite clearly.
01:04 pm
Isn't it really interesting how different the same tea can be when it's prepared differently? I love this tea hot and cold....was a pleasant surprise. I half expected the coldbrew to be really strong, but it's pretty mellow. :)
01:47 pm
nice to know how it was cold brewed, didn't remember to chill a mini cup today from the CT packet. A good excuse to order more, right?
11:42 pm
i've grown more fond of oolongs like these with adagio samples! time to brew this one all afternoon.
01:09 pm
I usually am not crazy about oolong tea but I didn't mind today's too much
01:21 pm
Michelle M, your artwork and photo today...WOW, you knocked it out of the park. Absolutely beautiful.
01:25 pm
Thank you Mary 😸
11:54 pm
01:50 pm
Yikes! So glad you got it working again, enjoyed that well-earned cup of tea!
02:01 pm
Finally did....10 minutes of slight panic though. Then made a cup of Butter Beer blend tea -- felt better after. :)
05:47 pm
We are so limited without internet, right?
04:41 pm
Yep.....my systems went completely nuts when the modem went down. Beeps and error popups. Annoying!
05:48 pm
You limited yourself to just a couple of bad words? Impressive! Lol!
09:31 pm
Ali R, happy birthday. I hope today is marvelous for you in every way.
02:12 pm
happy birthday, ali!
03:53 pm
Heather, Fox looks quite intent on something today.
02:33 pm
I may have had a toy...

Am I the only one who missed the fact that the zodiac cards can't be combined into a sample?
04:01 pm
Hello R! Sorry about that! We don't offer Zodiac teas in a sample size, so the portions cannot be combined for one.

I’m too tired to make my cup of tea! Yesterday I got up bright and early and did rope drop at Disney! Stayed two hours came home ran some errands, rest for about and hours and the. Went back for evening fun. Then turned around this morning and went back again!! great time but I’m plum tuckered! 😂
04:16 pm
i hope everyone's having a lovely monday :D
04:18 pm
Not too bad. Hope you are having a good day too!
05:49 pm
Great news: CIMI BABYCAT has clean bill of health. No fleas. No FIV. Not pregnant. Her only diagnosis? "Smol & Sweet"
04:22 pm
That's wonderful news! Yay for a healthy kitty!
04:38 pm
Twyla, hurray! So glad all is well with your fur baby.
04:50 pm
I’m so happy to hear it! I wish we could talk to animals, I’m dying to know what adventures she went on!
05:02 pm
Oh, for sure, Christine. I betcha she has late night alley cat party stories with all the neighborhood hepcats!
06:00 pm
Yay! So happy to hear this! Great news!
05:32 pm
Twyla! That’s wonderful, happy news 😇🥰
05:57 pm
Yay, glad to hear the purr-fect news 💝
06:03 pm
Twyla that is so fantastic 💜😘💜
06:18 pm
So glad she's back from her adventure and none the worse for wear!
06:21 pm
That is the BEST news since the news that she came back! 🥰
11:49 pm
Well. As I was driving home I got a flash flood warning on my phone. As soon as I parked in my driveway the rain came down. I’m currently trapped here, surrounded by a small river as it’s pouring sheets, watching the lightning. At least my wifi reaches out here lol
05:06 pm
Stay safe, Christine 😇
05:56 pm
I'm glad you were able to park. Stay safe! :O
07:45 pm
Thanks Shelly and Cassidy! I made it in after 15 minutes. The rain let up just enough for me to run up the waterfall that were my front steps lol. My street was fine, but two blocks over flooded and they shut the road down. Glad I made it home before the traffic!
10:01 pm
Oh no, flash flooding is no joke. Glad you’re okay!
11:48 pm
Hi my tea friends hope your having a great day!🫖☕️🐈⬛❤️

Hi Linda and Violet 💜 I hope you enjoyed today’s tea better than yesterday’s tea.
05:56 pm
I get to drive home to see my family after work today for some much needed time at home. Will be a 2 and a half hour drive after a long day, but I had some chocolate truffle tea this morning as a pick me up. ☺️
05:48 pm
I think I prefer oolongs that are stronger than this, closer to black teas, but this is still pretty nice.

Happy Birthday Ali💜💜💜

I had today’s tea and it was a decent black tea. However, I prefer flavored ones. Then I drank yesterday’s tea - Moringa. It’s far too grassy for me but I did drink it all. Now I’m looking forward to one of my more robust and flavored teas, which are my favorites.

enjoy, Jan!

It’s been a day. Here’s pic from after the rain this evening!

Hi Erin! I hope you had a good tea day today. The clouds look like Halloween evening. Lol
09:36 pm
Ahh can’t wait for fall weather! 🥰
11:40 pm
We’d love some of your rain - can you send it to Oklahoma?
10:18 pm
I’ll try shooing it in your general direction. 😄 I hope you get some rain soon!
11:38 pm
neat picture!

Goof evening Tea Pals! Wishing all of you a great Monday and a fun tea day. Had the day off and slept all day.lol
09:32 pm
I know you were sleeping all day because I had to do all the cleaning today. Lol

The kitten made it home, but his mother is sick. Took her for a covid test, and doctor thinks it's something else. Here's hoping....
09:40 pm
Praying for mild symptoms and quick recovery. Glad they're home finally!
09:58 pm
Thanks, Christine, me too. The kitten stared and stared at the cats, with a happy look on his face. Having been gone for two and a half weeks, from his perspective he may have thought he'd never see this place again. :-)

Hey everyone! Happy Monday

Hello, tea friends: Did everyone have an enjoyable Monday and have delicious tea today?
09:59 pm
First full day home after vacation, and ended up crashing on the sofa from 4:30-7:30 pm. It wasn't even a strenuous day--just took my Mom to a doctor appt, ran an errand, and attended a video conference. Now I'm going to cold-steep tomorrow's tea and head to bed. Guess I'm not fully recuperated yet, although it has been 2 weeks since I first came down with Covid. Does it take everyone this long to get their energy back?
10:15 pm
Happy Monday!

Brewing some yerba mate with rose petals….bet I’m going to regret the caffeine kick but the heart wants what it wants

🌙Hello!🌙

Hello Everyone! First Day back from vacation and it was pretty great! I got to teach two dance classes today and did a brief grocery shop for dinner. Wednesday will be my big shopping day because I'm down to a lemon, condiments, the vegan hot dogs I bought today, and tiny bits of random frozen vegetables and fruit. I'm making some strange meals LOL. Today's tea was delightful. I did a quit rinse, then brewed western style and and now cold brewing the leaves. Oolongs are so much fun to cold brew.
10:41 pm
Long day today but the tea was a. Interesting tea that I found relaxing and enjoyed thoroughly.
11:24 pm
HI CT! Loved this oolong, really couldn't remember the last time I had it but wanted another cup today after brewing my packet. Couldn't find any more in my tea stash. Huh? Could it be time to order more tea?
11:34 pm
Sat down on the couch after work and fell asleep. Drat! Two hours later I'm up and wide awake at 9:30 at night. Sigh. Did a good job of drinking down the stash today! I had packets of: Fuzzy navel x 2 (lovely taste although a bit light for me), Battle in the Enchanted Forest (very tasty!), Butter Beer (lovely as always!), White Ayurvedic Chai (very nice - need to order this one!) and today's CT packet of Fujian Rain. On a happy note, my teenager seems to really like the coldbrewed tea I keep in the fridge. He's drinking it by the mug full!! I do believe I have brought him over to the tea side finally!!! Glad I have four pitchers...between the two of us and this altitude change, we drain them fast! Just glad to see him enjoying tea! Not sure he will ever try it hot unless he's sick, but iced tea is still tea!
11:34 pm
wow! that's a lot of tea!
11:44 pm
Okay this was one of the best teas I've ever had. Gonna need to order more ASAP!
11:42 pm
Getting in under the wire! Thank you all for the wonderful birthday wishes!!! It was a super fun day! I hope everyone has a nice day too!
11:50 pm
It has been so hectic today I haven't had time to go through chat, again. I hope everyone had a good monday.
11:51 pm
I need it to be tomorrow already! I have a funny photo I’m going to share 😋 can’t wait!
