Heeeere at long last are the first of the Harry Potter blends. More characters will happen, don’t worry. This is only the beginning.

• Harry Potter: Treacle tarts, Pumpkin Juice and deep, warming spice. Boyish, yet brave, resourceful, and powerful. [pumpkin spice, caramel, masala chai]
• Ronald Weasley: Burning with passion, love and energy, this blend will effectively warm you whenever you need it. A little might go a long way, but still good to always have around. [masala chai, ginger, almond]
• Hermione Granger: Sweet, bright, vibrant notes, with just a lingering smell of parchment and ink. [ceylon sonata, pu erh dante, caramel]
• Severus Snape: Seemingly bitter and severe, this blend is actually quite smooth, with herbal, grassy notes. [white monkey, pu erh dante, yerba mate]
• Remus Lupin: Smooth, dreamy, moonlit Earl Grey. The earthy, dusty smell of the Forbidden Forest. Chocolate to speed recovery. Best served the night after the full moon. [earl grey moonlight, pu erh dante, chocolate chai]
• Sirius Black: Powerful and playful, with bright notes of lemon and ginger, rounded out with strong, smooth Assam. [assam melody, oriental spice, lemon grass]
• James Potter: Refreshingly bright, youthful, and good natured, but with just a bit of a bite lingering beneath the surface. [irish breakfast, candy apple, gingerbread]
• Peter Pettigrew: Damp earth, musty corners, and slightly bitter. Oft overlooked flavors that may take you by surprise. [pu erh dante, artichoke green, gunpowder]

My poor bank account!  More fandom tea I want.  This also reminds me I really must get working on the blends I’m planning as well.  Not that the world needs my blends in particular but I find them fun so oh well.

There are a few things I’ll need/would like to have if I want to have pleasant and consistent walks

• Buy and replace batteries in my pokewalker
• Get new ipod
• Load ipod with a good walking playlist, podfics, podcasts and Good Omens book on tape
• Make sure I have sunscreen

The ipod is mostly unnecessary but I know that I have a habit of being excessively angsty and introspective if I don’t have something to distract me and being more depressed is terrible motivation to walk.  That and I miss having an ipod.

It is getting to be the time of year where I live where I should stop hermiting so hard and go out on walks everyday (or at least every other day).  That means that soon you will be seeing nearly daily content composed of one tea review and one mini walk diary.  I know that this may not happen but part of the point of this blog is to keep me motivated to leave the house and exercise; so if you see I haven’t posted anything for a few days, if you would send me an ask I’d really appreciate it. Thank you for following!  

Highly relevant to this blog. :)

Theeeese are the only Avengers Blends I think turned out alright Q3Q Some characters, like Tony, don’t lend themselves to tea, as well, I don’t think D: But I think these guys totally work *w*

Thor Blend: A deep, strong flavor, incredibly masculine, with bright notes of apricot. (mambo, apricot, toasted mate)

Loki Blend: ‘So I am no more than another scorned idea, locked in your mental tea cabinet until you might have use of me? You could have told me it wouldn’t happen from the beginning! Why didn’t you? What, because I— I— I am the caffeinated blend parents won’t let their children try at night? You know, it all makes sense now, why you favoured Holmes all these years, because no matter how often you claim to make tea, you could never have a Frost Giant featured in your signature blends!’ [Thank you to the anonymous writer that left me this note, and prompted me to make a blend for Loki. Cool, refreshing, but just a bit dark, with a hint of floral undertones. This blend truly shines when iced.] (gunpowder, spearmint, rooibos jasmine)

Steve Rogers Blend: As American as Apple Pie, perfectly sweet, but built for strength. (spiced apple chai, almond, assam melody)

I promise I won’t reblog all of the character teas but these teas in particular sound seriously great.  Steve Rogers sounds like something I’d drink everyday and both Loki and Thor sound worth a taste.  If this website had sample sizes, I’d buy one of every one this person has made and go tea-trying-crazy. 

Today I received a new parasol from one of my best friends.  As soon as I can, I’ll take some nice pictures of it.  I can’t wait to pair it up with some lolita and go for a walk to get tea.

Good Omens blends! One of the best books ever is totally deserving of tea. Click the name to go to their page on Adagio <3

Crowley Blend-Smokey from the fires of hell, but with a bit of fresh green-ness, and an underlying sweetness. Deep, deep down. [lapsang souchong, spiced green, caramel]

Aziraphale- A bit old fashioned and stuffy, but with just enough of a sinful bite. Ineffably delicious. [irish breakfast, almond, gingerbread]

I really really want both of these.  Crowley sounds good because I know spiced green and caramel are great together.  Aziraphale just sounds like a delicious blend.  Might have to spring for both of them soon.

On another note- I hope to be getting these teas and some of the Sherlock teas in the relatively near future.  Once I do, I will do write-ups on them here.

Welcome to my quiet little blog about walking and tea.  This blog probably won’t be updating very often since it is exclusively about walking to my local tea shop and the teas I get from it.  I might post something the next time I make tea ice cream comparing the ice cream to the tea it is from but this blog will be pretty quiet until either it gets warmer or I decide to get over it and start walking again.  If you are looking for a more average blog filled with my opinion, things I make and reblogs feel free to follow me here.  Don’t feel obligated though; I just wanted you all to know what sort of blog this is.  I appreciate the follow and hope to have add some new evaluations of tea soon.

Cold: Super lemongrassy which since I like lemongrass is a good thing.  See previous entry for thoughts on lemongrass and why this took so long to be posted.

Cold- A blend of two mates recommended to me by the person working there.  It smelled great and tastes great as well.  It did taste mostly like lemongrass and mint together but they compliment each other an impressive amount. 

About Lemongrass-I feel like I should describe the flavor of lemongrass as citrusy but a part of me really hates that since the flavor is different and more complex then citrusy actually describes.  For now I will use it but I’ll try to think of a smarter way to discuss the flavor.  I actually skipped a whole entry due to this problem.
