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*
Mean & Green
How I found it: This is another one of Adagio Teas' fantastic fandom blends. Their teas are so good and it's such a cool idea to do fandom blends! Though all the blends are available individually, this set was available for one weekend only and I snatched it up. I wanted an Avengers blend set since I found the site! This set is called Hero Recovery and includes Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye blends. This is the same site I bought a Sherlock set, Tolkien set, Avatar: the Last Airbender set and Doctor Who set from!
The Tea: The Incredible Hulk is my fourth favorite Avenger, and this really yummy tea suits him. It reminds me of The Hulk's sweet side. It's even yellow green if you have it without sugar. It's sweet from the chamomile, toasty and piney from the green pekoe with a nip of Earl Grey Green. Since Bruce Banner is big on health stuff, I could totally see him drinking this tea. I'm sure he enjoys chamomile because it's calming and with all his world traveling I bet he's tried the others too. This tea may be green, but it isn't at all mean. It's sweet. ^ ^
Serving Recommendations: I steeped this tea for five minutes and added just 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. Some of these teas you can buy individually for about $10 a pouch or $4 for a sample tin.
So how good is it? This tea is absolutely lovely. It's unique and I will certainly be drinking it a lot.
Have you tried this tea? What did you think of it? Have you seen The Avengers? 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)
