Tea Tuesday: Rivaille My Levi's

I'm not really a coffee person. I prefer tea, and I know a lot of fellow writers love tea, too. But have you ever wanted to break out of the Early Grey or English Breakfast norm and try something new? Well, let me help you find some cool new teas! If you need a little hot and flavorful boost to help you reach your writing goal or you're just a lover of tea or you'd like to try some tea but aren't fond of the stereotypical types, these Tea Tuesday posts are for you.

This weeks tea is ... 

*drum roll*

Rivaille My Levi's

How I found it: I'm back with another fandom set from Adagio Teas. I've had my eye on this one for a while and I'm so excited I finally got it. This is the Attack on Titan set which includes Erin Jeager, Mikasa Ackermen, Armin Alert, Sasha Blouse, Levi Rivaille, and Zoe Hange blends. Attack on Titan is one of my favorite animes and I'm so excited to finally try the teas!
This is the same site I bought the Avengers set, Sherlock set, Tolkien set, Avatar: the Last Airbender set, and Doctor Who set from!

The Tea: Since Levi's tea has a Christmas-like mix, I thought it would be perfect to post a few days before Christmas. The tea has yummy masala chai which is spicy and reminds me of Levi's bravery; the chocolate chai makes me think of his sullen, loyal and rich personality; and the candy canes and cocoa nibs remind me of his subtle humorous side and his lingering personality like with Eren's blend. 

The taste is like strong chocolate spice with a tint of mint like a spicy mint cup of cocoa. It has kind of a grumpy flavor if that makes sense. The coolest thing about this tea is it has little bits of peppermint candy in it that melt into the tea. This tea definitely fits Levi. I wonder if he'd actually drink it though ...

Serving Recommendations:I steeped this tea for five minutes and added sugar, cream and cinnamon.

How much is it and where can you get it? You can find this tea at the Adagio website. I bought this tea in a sample set which was about $22 including shipping and you get a goodly amount of tea since you only need about a teaspoon per cup. Some of these teas you can buy individually for about $10 a pouch. 

So how good is it? I give it four stars. It has a unique flavor, but I've had better teas.

Have you tried this tea? What did you think of it? Have you seen Attack on Titan? Who's your favorite character?

Bonus! If you are a first-time Adagio customer I can send you a $5 giftcard! Ask in the comments for details! (This is no joke and no catch I seriously can. It's part of the amazingness of Adagio Teas)
