From Adagio Custom Blends, Cara McGee

‘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.]

Inspired by the Marvel Comics character Loki. I have no affiliation with Marvel or Disney or any of those related companies. This blend is made for my own enjoyment.

I don’t think of myself as having very refined tastes or anything, and I’m not much of a reviewer, but I had to leave a review here because this is honestly the best tea I’ve ever had. I really hope it becomes available again sometime. I’ve been trying to make my remaining bag last as long as possible!

Another sample from Sil & Schmiracles.
Another sipdown.
I used to drink a lot of gunpowder green & mint together. It’s very refreshing, especially iced. I’ve never tried it with jasmine added, & since I like jasmine sometimes, it’s a nice addition. Not something I’d want to keep in my collection, but nice to try.

Sipdown!! (152)

It is always nice to get to try new teas in swaps but it is especially nice when people send teas that are difficult to come by otherwise. Those who live in Canada know that Adagio blends are not the most accessible given the high shipping costs so I am very grateful to jump62359 for sending this my way.

Tastewise, the mint is strong in this blend. Very strong. And yet there is also a roasty smoke element from the gunpowder. However, underneath all the bolder flavors, there is a touch of floral jasmine to soften up the cup a bit. In that sense, it is much like Loki – a lot of flash and strength but underneath it all, a sensitive soul :P

Mmmmmm. As soon as you guys say you want Adagio, I am IN for an order. I want some of this. :P My cart is already about $100 though. :|

VariaTEA

I think it might be a while for me but I can always just ship it to my Dad so if you are ready, feel free to go ahead without me :)

TeaLady441

I can wait. :) If it arrived now I wouldn’t appreciate it so much because of all the incoming teas we have.

TeaLady441

But I appreciate the offer.

Wow. This smells so amazing. I’m not really a huge of jasmine, but I DO like spearmint and gunpowder tea, and these really, really blend well together. I’m even enjoying the jasmine in it.

OMG. So, so far I want to buy Thor and Loki teas. They’re in a ‘ship so I will save a little on them, but… what if I end up wanting to buy ALL the Avengers teas? I’m a little worried about continuing on…

SO GOOD.

This tea just screams “GREEN” to me and makes me think of Loki’s green eyes. Ok, I’ll have to send the rest to Ozli!

Thank you Shmiracles!

Shadowfall

Lol. Maybe they’ll make a sampler set of these now that the samplers are only 6 tins?

TeaLady441

Maybe? That’d be cool, but WHO DO YOU EXCLUDE?
“Sorry Mr. Barton. You were… er.. not invited to this box set.”

Ozli

Thanks for the send, dude! This tea is awesome.

TeaLady441

So awesome! If I order any, I’ll let you know beforehand!> :D

this is a tricky tea…which i’m ok with since it’s loki. shmiracles sent this my way and when i opened the bag i was like “well crap…that’s uh…some jasmine” However, once brewed, the jasmine IN the tea is almost non existant. read that as “sil didn’t have to dump it down the drain” my main problem with this though was that i kept smelling the jasmine, which was turning me off the cup even though every time i took a sip, i was like oh! no jasmine lol

keychange

I’m kind of having a similar experience over here. every time I twist the lid off my travel mug, I get a whiff of what I swear is cat pee, but then I sip and it’s just my delicious pumpkin tea…wtf? haha

Sil

LMAO mmm cat pee…

keychange

hahahahahahahahah!!!

CHAroma

not really a huge fan of this blend. i went in expecting something else, but the mint completely overpowered everything else and it’s all i could taste.

This is my favorite afternoon tea because it tastes good hot, cold, or room temperature so if I forget about it for a while (as I often do in the afternoon) it’s still good. I do think I prefer it warm because I find the flavors seem more balanced, as opposed to the dominance of the mint when iced. It reminds me a lot of the Tazo iced mint green teas in the bottle that I used to get occasionally.

Also, when I first ordered this from Adagio I got two bags of Loki instead of the one Loki and one something else I ordered, which seemed amusingly fitting. They sent me the missing tea right away when I let them know and I got to keep the extra Loki, which was nice because I finished the first bag fairly quickly.

I’ve never been a big green tea drink but I find that this is my go-to in the morning. I usually steep it for about 3 minutes or until it’s a nice amber color and drink it. The spearmint is a lovely taste and the gunpowder gives it a smokey undertone.
