Tea Tuesday: Dauntless

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*
Dauntless



How I found it: I’m back with another fandom set from Adagio Teas. This is the same site I bought the Avengers set,Sherlock set, Tolkien set, Avatar: the Last Airbender set,  Doctor Who set, Attack on Titan set, and RWBY set from! The set for the next few weeks is the Divergent set! I thought it appropriate what with Insurgent coming out on March 20th. I’m really excited about that. ^ ^

Though I didn’t enjoy the book very much, I’m hoping the movie will be better. It seems like it’s going to be, though I’m still not sure about Johanna. SCAR! *clears throat* Moving on … This set includes the five factions plus that one special one: Abnegation, Dauntless, Erudite, Amity, Candor, and Divergent. They all smell delicious, let’s see how they taste!


The Tea: This tea definitely fits the Dauntless faction. The dominant hazelnut nut tastes bold and strong, the chocolate, cocoa nibs, and chocolate chips give a sense of bravery and happiness, and the twist of cinnamon alludes to the faction’s saucy and quirky side like with their tattoos, dyed hair, and piercings. I’m not sure if Dauntless would actually drink tea. They don’t seem like tea people, but it does taste a bit like hot cocoa. I could see them drinking that. I think I could see Tris drinking it though. It is a delightful tea.

Serving Recommendations: I steeped this tea for four minutes and added sugar, cinnamon, and hazelnut creamer.

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? The tea was delicious especially with the hazelnut creamer. It didn’t stand out too much to me though, so I give it four to 4.5 stars.

Have you tried this tea? What did you think of it? Have you seen or read DivergentWho’s your favorite character?
