Brave, bold and caffeinated!
Whether fighting dragons or mixing magical potions, a hot cup of tea is the perfect refreshment for relaxing next to the fireplace in your house room, or a triple lecture in herbology.
We’ve taken our favourite autumn tea – Madame Pomona’s Apple Chai, given it house colours and just a hint of Dark Lord! Accio-tea and enjoy the tastes of autumn with freshly harvested apples from our farm.
All House Blend teas come in marine compostable and biodegradable bags and a gift box.

Sipdown (198)
My siblings and I decided to rewatch the Harry Potter movies before going back to work. Today we have to watch two to make up for lost time due to technical issues the first night. We’re on the Chamber of Secrets right now and I’m watching it with this tea leftover from last year’s Geek + Tea advent calendar.
This tea actually has a great green apple flavour. Not much smoke is left but it still has the faintest campfire apple vibe. I like it a lot but it’s not a great blend for Gryffindor.

Adventaggedon Day 6 – Tea 2/6
Mixed feelings here because I don’t think I really understand the link with Gryffindor all that much, but damn if this wasn’t delicious. It’s basically a green apple Chai, but with the tiniest hint of Lapsang. Y’all know I’m a total slut for a good flavoured tea that uses Lapsang…
It’s more than that though – the bright, crisp green apple flavouring used in this tea blend might just be one of the nicest and freshest green apple flavours I’ve ever experienced in a tea. Right now, the only thing coming to mind that I would hold in such high esteem would be Dots & Loops from Auguest Uncommon – and it’s funny that comes to mind because it also has fennel in it which is one of the main spice flavours I got in this blend. Sweet green apple with that anise-y fennel pop and warming cardamom with a hint of smoke!? Oh, be still my heart! It’s the nicest flavoured Gryffindor blend that I’ve ever had – but it just doesn’t… feel right!?
But what would a “perfect” Gryffindor blend be like for me!? I don’t know why, but the only thing immediately coming to mind is Turmeric – and I also think a black tea base just feels much more right than this mix of green tea/black tea/rooibos.
I don’t know – what do y’all think!? What would the perfect Gryffindor tea be!?

I think it’s fairly common to associate Gryffindor with spices, so that’s likely where the chai idea came from. Not sure on the apple, but that’s definitely interesting!
I think I could get more on board if it was a red apple flavour, but this was DEFINITELY very green apple.
I’m not sure what I would choose for Gryffindor… The spice association kind of makes sense I guess, as a bold and brash flavor. Maybe like an orange and cinnamon roasted maté or something? (shrugs)
Ya, green tea/green apple does seem an odd choice for Gryffindor.
Ooh, that sounds so fun! On my way over! :P
Yay! That would be delightful!
If only, ha ha. ❤
I had never read the books (or watched the movies) but my daughter-in-law really, really loved both, as did two of my daughters. When she found out she was expecting twins, she and my son agreed they would have a HP baby and a Star Wars baby. In order to be a relevant grandma, I read all the books in the space of about two months before the twins were born!
Ashmanra, that’s so wonderful! Hope you enjoyed them. I’m debating rebuying the books since my copies are at my mom’s, who I no longer speak to.
