Adagio really had a good idea when they thought up these fandom teas. Seriously. I mean, none of them sound all that appealing but when you name it after something or someone we all love, all of a sudden it is in demand. A prime example is this tea. I would never have bought this based on description alone given I hate oolong and this has an oolong base. However, as a Firefly tea, I find myself more open to the idea and even more accepting of flavors I would usually ignore. Does anyone else have this problem?!
Anyways, the tea itself does actually have a fairly strong oolong flavor. I am also getting a fair bit of ginger in this particular cup which when the two are combined, it is creating a sort of drying taste (feeling?). With that said, there is also a nice amount of peachy type flavoring that balances out the cup and keeps it from being too earthy. On top of all that is just a splash of cream which combined with the drying is a tad bit strange but still not unpleasant. All in all, this isn’t my favorite tea out of the sampler, just as Simon was no where near my favorite character, but I don’t find myself rushing to get rid of this sample either like I anticipated I might. Perhaps I want to hold on to everything Firefly for as long as I can because I really miss the show.
In other news, I really need to stop watching old television shows on Netflix that I know will never come back. Every time I do, I am sad it is finished. That happened with Firefly, Dollhouse, and Buffy (can you tell I am a Joss Whedon fan? :P). Most recently, that has happened with Roswell. I finished it last night and I am going through Michael Guerin withdrawal. So much so I have been debating rewatching the series just for him. Although, the longer I sip on this tea and think of Firefly, the more I think I should rewatch that instead. If only it could be like watching shows for the first time, every time you watched because it is just not the same when you know what is coming. Luckily, I still have Supernatural (which a friend might have just reminded me came back last week so yay for two new episodes!). Anyways, I will stop whining now and enjoy my tea…

Have you tried watching Orphan Black? There are two seasons with a new coming out next spring. It’s awesome! There are great podcasts for Orphan Black also. I like all the Joss Whedon shows, too.
Oh, tea sounds okay, too.
I keep planning to watch Orphan Black but Netflix has spoiled me with the ability to watch episode after episode without the hassle of having to click a million links and wait for stuff to load.
I saw my name in there, and it took me a horribly long time to realize (even after rereading a couple times) you weren’t actually talking about me. Also; Roswell is amazing (Michael was my favourite too; then the actor got creepy and weird looking in his reoccurring Bones role)! As are all the other shows you listed. BTVS is my favourite show of all time. I need to watch the newest Supernatural episode still… If you haven’t seen it yet, you should do Prison Break next! You can fall in love with William Fitchtner as Mahone. Mmmm! Also, the lead actress in Orphan Black is from Regina! The city I grew up in :)
Also, I sent you tea today. Again. Two matchas; but small portions so you can finish ’em quickly.
hahaha usually you are the Roswell to which I am referring but not this time. I am really having issues letting Michael go. It is actually quite sad. And, I have already watched Prison Break. That is what I watched prior to Roswell and Dollhouse. I think I may watch Charmed next but I am not sure. Like I said, I may rewatch Roswell…or Firefly.
And I FINALLY put your package in the mail today. It took quite some time but I did it. I have a tracking number also so I will find that and pass it along.
Charmed is in my Netflix list to watch too; so maybe I’ll watch that with you if you do it next. The rest of my to watch list is mostly anime, otherwise. And Once Upon A Time.
I watched OUAT. I watch it with my momma. I think Charmed is next so we can watch that together :P.
