using adagio's custom blend's creator, i've been making evangelion-inspired tea blends and the first of them has been tested and made public over here.

let me know if you're gonna buy it (or anything from the site, really) and i can give you a $5 gift certificate to save you some money!

it costs me $10 to buy and thus test a new blend, but you can get a $10 gift certificate to the site through various means (including people buying your blends or using gift certificates you send them), and i am somewhat poor at the moment, so i think i'll be holding Rei's blend hostage until i've gained the few extra points needed to get that gift certificate.

EDIT: each blend will be added here as they're made public, for those who don't feel like searching through the whole post.

Oh my god, yes please. I love tea, and that particular blend sounds scrumdiddlyumptious. Reckon I'll be getting a 6oz tin. Thank you for being amazing :D (also that label art is brilliant, and the description positively hilarious)

Considering how much Eva is a giant cash cow for Gainax/Khara with all it's merchandising. I'm astonished that there isn't an official Eva themed tea set yet. ^_^

Though as a bit of a tea connoisseur myself, I would consider trying out the Mari themed blend, if given the chance. Sounds delish.

Rei's blend is now public! took me a while to get to test it and adjust the blend as needed, but here's something for fans of herbal teas.

Asuka's blend will be next, once again once i hit the 100 point mark (and i'm already halfway there too)!

You deserve a round of applause from all us tea-lovers, tinybro! This is probably one of the best fan made things I've seen thus far! Do you also make the awesome label illustrations?

Also, as an Asuka fan, I can't wait for your Asuka blend. I can already guess some of the flavors you might use....

These both sound very interesting. I'm going to have to order some when I can.

Just bought a 3 oz pouch of both.

Can't wait for the Asuka blend.

Awesome work all around on both of these blends.

I feel like the Asuka blend will need to be pretty hot & spicy. Maybe cinnamon, maybe ginger, etc.

"Hot and spicy" was the first thing that came to mind in my case as well. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if tinybro threw in some paprika for good measure! :lol:

Stranger things have made good combinations. :)

Have you ever had dark chocolate with hot chili pepper? It's excellent. I feel like a blend with chocolate chips, chili pepper, and maybe some cloves and cinnamon, would work really well on a base of rooibos ("red" tea, which would be fitting in this case).

You're making me hungry with all of this chocolate talk. To eat, or not to eat? That is the question. :conscience:

good to know i'm on the right track with the spicy part, as that is indeed what i'm going for :> i'm limited with the options though (chili pepper and paprika are both unavailable, sorry!) so i'm taking this a slightly different direction. but ordering Asuka's test pouch soon, so that'll go public once i've gotten a chance to try it and make any adjustments necessary!

and ugh don't even tempt me with the chocolate thing. i personally love anything chocolately or sweet but i'm trying to keep some variety to these blends instead of just tweaking them all to my tastes. otherwise they'd all be some form of chocolate ; ;
