Fancies & Fascinations | Adagio Teas' fandom blends

Tuesday, March 17

I've seen/heard about Adagio Teas' fandom blends for years, but never got around to trying them until lately. Boy, was I missing out!


Adagio's fandom blends are tea blends inspired by or based on pop culture (TV shows, movies, books, video games, etc.) created by fans. And, if you can believe it, there are more than 70,000 blends available on Adagio's site. Thanks to my new friend Chris, I was recently able to sample a few blends inspired by Sherlock and Harry Potter. They were delish, so I decided to buy some for myself.

Per usual, I might have gone a little bit overboard in ordering, but you never know what you're going to like until you try it, right? I was also drawn in by the fact that many of the blends are by Cara McGee, and feature her art. Tea + nerdy fandoms + great art = irresistible.

  7. I'll have to sample that one next order! I went a little overboard this time, so it might be a bit, but that's part of the fun. I'm really pleased at how much comes in the little sample tins!

  8. Sent! :) I know other bloggers who have tried their tea, but I kept getting reminded of it thanks to following Cara McGee's work on Instagram. Perhaps next time I'll order from someone else, haha. But her art is just so dang cute!
