Our newest Tea of the Week: Green Apple Watermelon
Oh .. My … Gosh, Frank, I TOTALLY GOT IT! That is my favorite Sci-fi novel of all time (and I have been reading Titan by John Varley all evening, a sci-fi novel where a character directly refers to the worms in Dune). “While we can’t attest to this tea’s ability to help you navigate folded space,” THAT in and of itself puts a smile on my face. You go, Frank!
I totally missed the geeky joke last week because the tea itself didn’t interest me; so I didn’t look at the graphic on the website until this morning and saw that! LOL. I agree Frank, pretty funny.
Oh man, I really really want to order the butterbeer, but I’m scared away by the licorice root. I generally so not like it in my tea, and I’m usually turned off by it. How strong is it here?
I didn’t add any licorice flavoring, just some licorice root, so it’s not that strong. I’m personally not a big fan of licorice myself—black jelly beans are NASTY—BUT licorice root itself is nice and sweet and adds just a hint of sweetness to this blend.
That is good to know. I think black jelly beans are disgusting as well so I’ve stayed away from any thing licorice in a blend because of it. I’ll have to try it now.
Yeah, honestly, they are very different. I can’t vouch for anything that might have licorice flavoring in it, but the licorice root itself is yummy.
I’ve had licorice root in other teas before, and I don’t like the “sort of sweet” aftertaste. I guess I was wondering how prevalent it is in the tea.
I totally would have gone for this if it weren’t for the chicory.
I made it first without the chicory, but it seemed like it needed just a little extra oomph to be ButterBEER. I think it adds a beery dimension to it.
I giggled with joy when I saw this. I’ve been battling a bad bout of the flu over the last few days, but, this really made me happy. Thank you Frank!
Totes ordered some butterbeer. And cotton candy black. I hope to be snorting it like Azzrian soon.
Yeah I am also worried about the licorice. Would love to try it if anyone gets it and its not their thing. Otherwise anything alcohol related sounds good. I miss drinking lol
For anyone who missed it. I did write my own tasting note for this one: http://steepster.com/52teas/posts/117950
Is there a chance you’ll reblend Butterbeer? I’ll finally get money I can freely spend on Thursday so I am sad to see it’s sold out already :(
It’s possible. I don’t have some of the stuff I need to reblend it right now. But tomorrow after I pack and ship orders, there MIGHT be a few pouches left.
Just updated the inventory. We only have ten pouches left. When those are gone it might be a month or so before I can re-blend it (if necessary), because I don’t have all of the supplies I need to reblend it right now.
Oh, and our new Southern Boy Teas premium iced teas in TEABAGS are also now available. :)
