Geek Steep S1E13 – Game of Thrones
I don’t like Game of Thrones – I think the portrayal of women and gratuitous depictions of sexual abuse are inexcusable and, for a very long time, if I knew people who did enjoy the show I definitely lost respect for those people…
So, watching an episode of Game of Thrones for the first time in years was a lot for me. I actually had a few ideas of teas that could pair well/work thematically with the show but I realllyyyy wanted to choose something that would make the episode watch a lot better because of just how mindblowingly delicious the tea is, and that fit this port scented black tea perfectly!
It fits in because of the super boozy red fruit/port notes that have permeated the black tea which mirror the often excessive amounts of drinking – in particular during the wedding scene from the episode we watched. So it did seem like a good pairing for the fandom just in general – but it’s also just an incredibly nice tea, and so the quality and deliciousness of it made the experience better just for those aspects alone.

I’m of the same opinion regarding Game Of Thrones! I just can’t make myself watch it….
Yeah, I tried to watch the show when it came out, but it just made me feel too uncomfortable. Love the books though.
