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*
Double Agent
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: This tea is based on awesome Agent Natasha Romanoff a.k.a. Black Widow! The lapsang souchong is the prominent flavor and makes me thing of smoke from the battles of Natasha’s red ledger past. The assam melody is a bit drowned out by the strong lapsang souchong, but it gives a hint to her sweet side. Then a touch of currant at the end makes me think of her flaming red hair. The tea reflects her personality well and I could see Black Widow being a world traveler drinking this tea. It’s strong like her. Perhaps she could have a tea party. 😉
Serving Recommendations: I steeped these 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? I like this tea. It’s distinctive and reflect Black Widow’s character, but the lapsang overpowers the other flavors a bit. Over all it’s a really good tea though. ^ ^
Have you tried this tea? What did you think of it? Have you seen the Avengers? Who’s your favorite character?
