Geek Steep S1E20 – Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers
Well friends, we’ve done it – after half a year Marika and I have completed our first season of our passion project, Geek Steep! Most podcasts never make it past seven episodes, and we put out twenty (22 if you count the holiday episodes) so I’m feeling mighty proud of that!
And speaking of “mighty” – when we were planning we knew that whatever we did for the finale episode would have to be special. All fandoms are special in their own way, of course, but after lots of brain storming we settled on Power Rangers. It’s been going strong since the 90s and is beloved internationally – this super nostalgic fandom felt like the right way to close out our season.
I struggled to pick a tea for my episode watch, as VariaTEA can attest to. She was very helpful in working my way through what might be an appropriate choice. I really wanted something with a punchy fruity flavour, but I couldn’t pick just any fruity blend. I had hoped I owned something with a dinosaur reference in the name, but this was not the case. She brilliantly suggested something that was a combination of tea bases to represent the individual rangers coming together as a team/megazord. Brilliant!
So that’s how I landed here! I still feel like I could have picked a better tea, but I was happy with the pairing. Since this is a retired tea, there’s a sort of nostalgia about it as well that fit with the themes of nostalgia for this fandom.
It was weird having this be the “last” pairing of the season, but there’ll be more in the future. We’re definitely doing a season two!

Friendly reminder that I do not numerically rate DAVIDsTEA blends as I’m currently employed there and it would be an obvious conflict of interest. Any blends you see with numerical ratings were rated prior to my employment there. These reviews are a reflection of my personal thoughts and feelings regarding the teas, and not the company’s.
Congrats finishing season one!
