Tea Tuesday: Playboy

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*
Playboy


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!

The Tea: It’s the Tony Stark aka Iron Man tea! He’s tied for second as my favorite Avenger. I can’t decide between him and Cap. ^ ^’ Trademark of any tea with lapsang souchong in it, this tea is very strong almost coffee-like. It has a follow of ginger and hint of caramel and chocolate from the tiger eye. It’s a very fragrant tea, but the tastes really pop after its brewed. It reminds me of a fancy coffee drink Tony probably gets on a regular basis from Starbucks or some other high-priced coffee shop. He seems like a latte or macchiatto sort of guy. I think he’d give this tea a shot.



Serving Recommendations: I steeped this tea for three minutes and added sugar and cream.

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 was really tasty tea. A bit strong for me to drink on a regular basis, but I definitely will empty the tin in the future. Four stars!


Have you tried this tea? What did you think of it? Have you seen The AvengersWho’s your favorite character?
