Blood orange, sour apple, rose petals.
Complimentary sample via finding an Easter egg.
“We hope this complimentary sample helps dull the pain. We recommend steeping for 5 minutes using your own tears.”
Adagio!
I would totally buy this. Please let me buy this. I never say this about hibiscus blends!
I really like this cold steeped for 8-16 hours with 1/2 tsp rock sugar for my 16 oz thermos. There is so much hibiscus in the blend that just poofs and leaves the fruit flavors when it’s steeped this way. I get both the orange and apple flavors, and the hibiscus adds an element of tart, but there’s no coppery aftertaste or anything that makes me immediately go ‘Hibiscus! Boo Hiss.’ It reminds me a lot of unsweetened fruit juice (if the fruit had hardly any natural sugars).
So I got this last week even though I wasn’t to ~ the episode ~ and thankfully even though there is an actual spoiler image on it, it’s oddly printed so I had no idea what it was even implying.
Until tonight. After I watched said episode. Then I understood.
ALL
THE
FEELS
when you find out how to get this tea (which is REALLY EASY and I feel dumb for not understanding) it suggests steeping in your own tears. Totally could have. btw I don’t think it’s possible to get this outside of the sample but I assume you can repeatedly get the sample since it let me add it to my cart again so I could get those great steeping notes.
Anyway the person who helped me out with getting this told me it was really good. It smells really good. But it’s super, super floral. I made it iced because I can’t be triflin’ with hot tea right now, plus hibiscus that’s warm is pretty meh.
So the hibiscus and rose petal are the strongest flavors, not sure if they really go together. For a bit there when I first tasted it, I was expecting someone to just pop in and yell THE LANNISTERS SEND THEIR REGARDS at me because even for someone who loves floral teas, it’s pretty overwhelming.
Since usually after the ice melts a good bit, iced teas start to taste better, I let it hang out. I could get a bit of the apple but definitely no blood orange.
It’s not that bad hibiscus wise. I can tolerate it without adding sweetener. I think maybe I’m losing the orange to the hibiscus, when I think about it, there’s a pretty similar flavor between blood orange and hibiscus.
I’m going to go lay down and cry now that I am finished with the glass. Although, I have an interview tomorrow FINALLY so cross your fingers!! And I will hopefully be over my GoT feels by then.
best of luck at the interview! i bet you’ll do brilliantly…
Good luck on the interview! I knew the red wedding was coming cause I read the books. Husband’s reaction was pretty amusing though. :)
Thank you both! I wanted to read the books first but begging for access to my parents’ Comcast account to get HBOgo was free LOL
I was going to try placing holds at the library but I think I’ll be better off saving my money to buy my own copies.
I suggest you buy the books on Kindle, especially for the last book. It came out 2 years ago but it’s still only available in hardcover, it’s GIGANTIC, and it costs $35. Kindle edition was only $15 and fits in my purse. ;)
BTW, how did you get this tea? I scoured the web but I think I’m missing something…
Good luck with the interview!
And I better hurry up and read all the damn books. We just finished watching Season 3, but I’d rather have read the books in advance so I can cry quietly in my room when I get to these parts, instead of being surprised as terribly as I was.
CHAroma – search the first listed name for this tea ;D I was dumb enough to try just “wedding” and so when I figured it out it was a huge DUH moment. I need to get a kindle. I use it on my laptop for cookbooks but I don’t know if I could sit and read very long on here. I have a second interview on Saturday so perhaps I shall have one soon!
Yeah, still can’t find it. I found a tea called The North Remembers, but it has different ingredients and doesn’t mention the Red Wedding…oh well.
Good luck on the second interview!!!
I am bad at hints so here’s the full way: put in red wedding and the picture will pop up in the search, click it and it’s added.
And thank you!
I am mad this seems to not be able to be purchased otherwise because I’d love to have more, or I’d like to know who came up with it since I figure it must be one of the people w/a whole series of GoT teas.
I understood the hint, it just doesn’t show up for me. LOL! Don’t worry about it. I was mostly just curious what the spoiler image was.
OH haha that’s weird. do you want me to take a screencap of it so you can see?
Yes please – I can’t find it either. :P
ok here you go http://i.imgur.com/U7rw7aI.png
just type it in, don’t press enter or anything and click on the picture
That’s so weird. It still doesn’t show up even if I do exactly what you did & don’t press enter. That’s soooo strange! Hahaha! Well thanks for the link. ;)
Thanks for showing the pic! Man, I have no idea why that doesn’t show up. I guess it’s not one you can order?
Nope, I’ve tried finding it or even similar artwork to even find who possibly came up with it, but nothing. I saw on another site someone say it doesn’t work anymore. I just tried it and it doesn’t come up for me now either. booooooo :(
I may try recreating it because it was so good iced.
The name “Red Wedding” scares me a little…
It’s totally a Game of Thrones reference, and they advice you to steep it in your own tears. So yeah.
LOL. Tears weren’t what I was thinking. Much better than what I was thinking… I’m glad you liked it so much. Sounds tasty.
I was skimming the tasting notes and saw Red Wedding and got sad haha.
I’m really curious what you were thinking now! :O
Okay, look at this when you’re not eating or drinking anything:
