Tea Tuesday: Sharp Shooter

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*
Sharp Shooter


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 sight I bought a Sherlock set, Tolkien set, Avatar: the Last Airbender set and Doctor Who set from!

The Tea: Unfortunately this tea was my least favorite of this set. It has thai chai in it which is the dominant flavor and it has a lot of lemongrass–which I’m not a big fan of. Though it made me think of Hawkeye’s world traveling from being an agent and the all famous Budapest. The sweetness of the assam melody gave a peek at his gentle side and the gunpowder tea reminded me of him during a battle. It had a sharp yet mello flavor, but the lemongrass was just a bit too overpowering for my taste. Despite the flavor of the tea, Hawkeye is still awesome. 😉

Serving Recommendations: I steeped this tea for four minutes and added 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? The tea wasn’t my favorite so I’ll give it three stars.


Have you tried this tea? What did you think of it? Have you seen The AvengersWho’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)



This is the last tea of the Avengers blend set! Next is Attack on Titan!
