Title: Pony Tea
Post by: Evening_Moonstone on October 16, 2012, 05:41:39 AM
I am a big fan of loose-leaf tea.  There's a site called Adagio that allows users to "blend their own", and several people have made MLP-themed tea!  I've tried a few of them so far:
https://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/blend.html?blend=16854 (https://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/blend.html?blend=16854) - Twilight Sparkle
https://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/blend.html?blend=16856&SID=32d869bd9e7207ab969634f53b26d0f5 (https://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/blend.html?blend=16856&SID=32d869bd9e7207ab969634f53b26d0f5) - Rarity

And I've ordered a few more that just arrived:
https://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/blend.html?blend=17029&SID=32d869bd9e7207ab969634f53b26d0f5 (https://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/blend.html?blend=17029&SID=32d869bd9e7207ab969634f53b26d0f5) - "Bubbles"
https://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/blend.html?blend=25385&SID=32d869bd9e7207ab969634f53b26d0f5 (https://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/blend.html?blend=25385&SID=32d869bd9e7207ab969634f53b26d0f5) - Princess Cadance
https://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/blend.html?blend=25462&SID=32d869bd9e7207ab969634f53b26d0f5 (https://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/blend.html?blend=25462&SID=32d869bd9e7207ab969634f53b26d0f5) - Shining Armor
https://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/blend.html?blend=25364&SID=32d869bd9e7207ab969634f53b26d0f5 (https://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/blend.html?blend=25364&SID=32d869bd9e7207ab969634f53b26d0f5) - Discord

Just figured I would share!  I probably wouldn't have sought these particular blends out, but they were based around ponies.  The Twilight Sparkle is a wonderful tea, and Rarity is like Earl Grey but with mint.   I'm excited to try the other kinds!

Aww cute! I also love tea and ponies, but as this is US-based think I'll have to give it a miss.

Hah that's awesome! I bought some of their tea a while back that was "Firefly" related. It was really good. I'm sure those are just as yummy.

I may order some in November if you want to combine on shippin or such like.

I love loose leaf tea, and with pony names? What is not to like?!? :)

I am drinking the :muffin: Pony tea right now.  It is a strange but fun tea - changing from nutty to fruity while you drink it.  Definitely something I wouldn't have tried if it weren't pony related! :)

Ponies + tea is a winning combination in my book. I love loose leaf tea, naming it after ponies is even better. What a neat idea :)

Ooh, depends on my funds. I will have money at the end of November but be quite poor before then. Drop me a PM when you're buying though :)

The Twilight Sparkle tea sounds really intriguing.  What a fun idea!  ^.^

Cool beans?  We're talking tea, not coffee.  :lol:

Hahaha! Nice one, I didn't notice it until now! Cool leaves? I really don't drink coffee that much either and prefer tea :shifty:

Might have to try this some time! I've been a tea drinker for a while, and I only just discovered loose leaf tea. I prefer herbal teas, though, but maybe I'll branch out...

Thanks, lol.  I can't resist an opportunity to make a bad joke.  :P

Coffee is usually my hot beverage of choice, but I will never turn down a cup of tea with a friend. ;) I think that's why I immediately cottoned on to the irony of "cool beans" in a thread about tea.  Cool leaves indeed -- I like it!  ^.^

How fantastic! Thanks for sharing this. I can't wait to check it out when I'm not clinging precariously to consciousness. (Could probably use a cup of tea! except it's bedtime)

How fun!  I don't necessarily agree with all the flavors but it sounds like a fun project to make tea that matches the ponies.

Ooh, ponies and tea! Great combination! Money's a bit tight right now but I'll have to bookmark this so I can treat myself on payday!

I've made my own pony tea as well! I've only made three so far.

Fluttershy (http://adagio.com/signature_blend/blend.html?blend=23755&SID=9a589bd0183f853e332881c0dc82e10c)
Rarity (http://adagio.com/signature_blend/blend.html?blend=23912&SID=9a589bd0183f853e332881c0dc82e10c)
Applejack (http://adagio.com/signature_blend/blend.html?blend=23994&SID=9a589bd0183f853e332881c0dc82e10c)

The labels for all my tea I drew myself. c: I have the blends for the rest of the mane six pretty much figured out except Twilight, I just need to draw the labels.
