Tolkien-themed tea blends - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Some of you may know Adagio Teas, famous for its fandom blends. We all know how well a nice cup of tea goes with a book, so I decided to look up their various Tolkien blends. Slightly expensive but hey, I know you folks pay ridiculous sums for first editions and other stuff you can only enjoy externally. If you ever order something, please share your experiences!

I'm personally somewhat tempted by the Curufin, Fili, and Thorin & Company blends.

I think I know what you're going to get for your birthday.

There is no way that I'll be kept away from these!

I am getting the Eomer and Eowyn blends for sure. Not only are they two of my favorite characters, but apricot and peaches? Yes please!

We have boxes and boxes of Adagio teas in this house but nary a Bilbo blend. Mycroft, Watson and Mrs. Hudson are prominent.

(And no, not ordered by me)

I think Mordor tea has long existed under the name Lapsang Souchong. Tastes all of ash and smoke to me.

Hahaha!

That's a good point. I like Lapsang Souchong though, but then again the last personality test I took scored me as Sauron.
