The Twilight Tea tea-tasting extravaganza

[cleolinda]

So: quietselkie sent over a merchandising sample of the latest Officially Licensed™ Twilight Product: Twilight Tea, as created by Luxe Tea. (Twilight Coffee also available, but not included. Which is good, because I don't drink coffee, and I ain't startin' for "La Tua Cantante." Her blood sings for him, you guys! And now her coffee does too!)

Having tasted the godawful conversational hearts, I must commend you for your bravery at trying any Twilight foodstuffs. I must say as an avid tea-drinker, none of these sound very good. Tea should never smell like jello, IMO. Hope you will venture to try some other kinds of tea that don't have vampirey marketing copy attached sometime! ^_^

I once had a cherry something-something tea - I forget what else was in it for the reason following - that smelled like cough syrup. If I didn't inhale first, it actually tasted fine, but the cough syrup-cherry was overwhelming. And this was from a nice tea place! Very sad.

I can't look at tea without thinking of dirty paintbrush water.

... New Moon Red is, an, uh, interesting name. My brain is making connotations that I don't think the product marketers meant to happen.

[cleolinda]

... yeah.

[all_ephemera]

Oh hell. Now that's all I'm thinking.

[edda]

It probably helps to think of it as more FOR that time than of that time. If that, uh, helps.

Stephenie Meyer apparently said that she wouldn't ever write a novel about Carlisle because she didn't want to have to do the research

I . . . I don't . . .

Why is she successful?

[elbales]

I KNOW.

[jaysta_11]

THIS. A MILLION TIMES THIS.

[hopeandmemory]

yeah, i kind of wanted to put a fist through my computer after reading that. god, she's an ass.

[xmyrin]

god, if your phone had died during this awful experiment...

also, i'm kind of disappointed that it wasn't horrible a la the conversation hearts.

[xmyrin]

i heard putting your phone in a bowl of brown rice is supposed to help? it absorbs the moisture out? or something?

… extraordinarily English!

Ingredients: Indian Black Teas.

Am I the only one who LOLed at the irony? ;)

[morganwolf]

Well, it was a colony, and India is the second-largest producer of tea worldwide.

[chulacabra]

No, I think she's commenting on Jacob being Indian with a last name of Black. Right?

[morganwolf]

Ha, fair enough. My brain's definitely not in Twilight-ephemera mode, that totally escaped my notice.
