Another Adagio sample from Cavo, through VariaTEA by the looks of it!

I actually really enjoyed this one. I didn’t think I loved floral teas but perhaps rose is the exception (between this and Fauchon’s Naissance which I haven’t reviewed here yet)

I have to admit, I hang my head in shame because though I consider myself a Joss Whedon fan girl, I’ve never watched Firefly. I tried watching Serenity once but wasn’t feeling it. Probably because I hadn’t watched the show first.

Maybe this fall I will watch it!

And this is a tea I’d order if I ever put one through to Adagio, if so, it will be near Christmastime, likely.

Thanks to Cavocorax and VariaTEA for passing this along! :)

Easily half of Serenity’s awesomeness comes from familiarity with Firefly. Watch the show first. It’s on Netflix!

VariaTEA

You’re welcome. And don’t worry about not watching Firefly as I only watched it earlier this year. In fact, I started watching the first episode a few times and just couldn’t get into it until one day my friends forced me to watch and I just got hooked. Serenity was okay but nothing compared to the show.

VariaTEA

Oh and as for the rose tea, I have a tasty one called Des Roses et Des Bonbons that I would be happy to share if you were interested.

OMGsrsly

Des Roses et Des Bonbons is so good! :)

Roswell Strange

Des Roses et Des Bonbons is absolutely amazing! “Thirding” that you should try it, especially if you also like cherries.

Sil

Serenity was awful! Awful! For reasons I cannot fully discuss since there are people who haven’t washed it yet.

Emilie

I have second the thing about difficulty getting through the first episode. I started it at least four times, then FINALLY made it through and loved it

ohfancythat

Des roses et des bonbons sounds delish! I would love to try a cup :)

I will watch Firefly once I’m done with Hannibal s2 and I only have 3 episodes left!! :/

VariaTEA

And Sil I think I know why you didn’t like Serenity and I feel the same. Sometimes I like to pretend it didn’t happen.

VariaTEA

And whatshesaid, feel free to send me your address and I can pass some along

I’m with you guys – Firefly was the best. Serentity was just a patched on ending since the tv show was cancelled and it’s as rushed as you’d expect when you can’t spend seasons on characters. Some people really enjoyed it, but I prefer Firefly.

Hello!

I love tea. I love my mini-me daughter, my husband, my dog Wally, Netflix, shopping, and tea. Some other stuff too, but these are the most important!

Some favourites -

My new favourite tea company is A Quarter to Tea. I love the flavouring used and how it doesn’t seem fake, and the combinations are so delicious. Right up my alley.

My favourite teas are black, I love Laoshan Black and Taiwanese Wild Mountain Black tea from TTC. Also many of Teavivre’s black teas.

Butiki teas RIP, I loved how the flavours were subtle and not fake tasting and didn’t overwhelm the tea base. Trust that I am dramatically mourning the loss of this company!

Teavivre, Whispering Pines and Mariage Freres are some more tea companies I appreciate. Along with Davidstea as it was the ‘gateway drug’ to my tea addiction. Though I’m mostly over it now, I’ve definitely moved on from the artificially flavoured teas and am trying more quality straight teas!

My ultimate goal is to try as many French teas as possible – and to finally find a source in Canada for Mariage Freres so I can buy Wedding Imperial, and Black Orchid for sure.

I would like to try any Taiwanese Assams that exist in the world!

Also continuously on the hunt for Fauchon – La Naissance. If anyone has some of this I would pay for it!!! It’s my number one all time favourite tea.

When I rate, it goes like this:

85 -100 = WIN! awesome, I love this and keep it on hand
70 – 85 = pretty darn good but I don’t NEED to own it
55 – 70 = not necessarily terrible but not a tea for me!
30 – 55 = missed the mark as far as I am concerned. Wouldn’t drink it willingly.
0 – 30 = I likely won’t rate this low very often, so if you see it, consider the tea a great big FAIL and probably disgusting.
