Not sure what the right tags were for this...
I was babbling about this on the friending meme and on my journal so I figured I'd inflict it on everyone... themed tea!
So, there's this site called Adagio that sells tea. They have a good selection, and if you've ever bought from them, you can design your own blend of up to three different teas in your choice of percentage. If you've never ordered from them before, ask a friend who has, and you can get a $5 off coupon for your first order (no minimum, when I used it).
So what do I do? Make fannish-inspired blends (I am not alone in having done this, I feel I must say). I have no art skillz, so there's no label art, alas.
I've come up with blends for most incarnations of the Master, all with Lapsang Souchoung as the uniting theme.
Koschei
Delgado!Master
Crispy!Master (I already ordered myself a bag of this, and so did someone else, but I'm not sure who!)
Ainley!Master
Sadly, I don't think Shalka!Master can have tea, and Roberts!Master seems like a Folgers guy. And if the cats I know are anything to go by, Cheetah!Master would want green tea.
Professor Yana
Simm!Master
Here's the thing... no way can I come up with blends for all the Doctors and every possible pairing as well, and that would be neat to have! Who's with me?
And if anyone needs an Adagio first time certificate... I can get you one, and please please please, other Adagio customers speak up so we can spread the kickbacks around ;)
...mods, if this isn't appropriate, I'm sorry and will take it down right away.
ETA: Adagio is US-based; they probably ship worldwide but I don't know how reasonable a shipping rate they have outside the US. Disclaimers I should have added; if people (even if it's me!) buy my blends, I get points toward free tea, which is all the more reason for some of you to join me in coming up with them, I'm not selfish like that.
...shutting up now, I'm babbling. And hoping someone invents a Seven/Delgado!Master blend.
