Fandom Tea (Update since…February?)
Is probably the newest problem in my kitchen/tea cabinet. Adagio Tea now makes Fandom Tea, which has totally stolen my heart all over the place. It started of course with trying the biggest, most favorite on the site (Tardis tea) and Steve McGarrett (because, you know, Steve). Plus, free sample and a Taurus happened around then (which had an amazing constellation on the bottom inside).
Then all of the Hawaii Five-0 set was bought, with two other H50 fans (so everyone could test them out and pay 1/3rd the price). Then, two of the most popular Sherlock ones (Sherlock & John Watson). Then there was a a long pause of months, and I finally hit employment and decided to gift myself with their new fandom samplers (Sherlock, Doctor Who, and Firefly).
I'm still annoyed at this point that I bought them now that I'm unemployed, and they really aren't an employment congratulations to myself. Especially at that price. But I've started sampling the Doctor Who Sampler (in order of character appearance) because the only worse thing I could do after ordering it, when I (now) financially had no right to, would be if I left all of it doing nothing in a cabinet. So I'm sample. Slowly, sort of as a requirement at myself, more than a gift.
We'll see how it goes.
