Tea Tuesday: Zuko




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*

Zuko


How I found it: One night, I was minding my own business and procrastinating on Facebook when I noticed an ad about Avatar: The Last Airbender teas. Feeling curious, I clicked the link and my mouth dropped open. This site had a whole set of teas of different avatar characters and even more fandom inspired teas! But I particularly wanted this set so after convincing myself that this would be an early birthday gift to me I got it. XD I got this tea in the same set as a KataraAang, IrohToph and Cactus Juice tea. ^ ^

The Tea: This tea is reminds me a bit of cake or hot chocolate. It's a black tea that tastes chocolatey with vanilla brown sugar from the honeybush vanilla and an extra zest at the end from the passionfruit flavor. It definitely smells Fire Nation with its slight tropical taste. I could totally see Zuko drinking this. It reflects on his rich and feisty personality but still a little sweet. It is totally ...


Serving Recommendations: I steeped this for three minutes, because it's a relatively strong tea, and I take it with cream and sugar.

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.

So how good is it? Though this wasn't my most favorite tea, I still give it four stars. ^ ^ It definitely reflected the personality of the character.


Though this ends the set of Avatar: The Last Airbender teas, next week starts a new series of fandom tea reviews. I have given a clue in another post. ;)

Have you tried this tea? What did you think of it? Have you seen Avatar: The Last Airbender? 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)
