I combined January’s sipdown theme, Out With the Old, with today’s National Science Fiction Day and chose this Goblin King blend as my geeky tea of the day. This is one of the oldest teas in my cupboard, and there was enough left for one cup. Seemed like a good pick for the day. I clumsily tipped over my brew basket and spilled at least half of the leaves before steeping, so I dropped my water to 6 oz. and upped my steep time to 7 minutes. It still doesn’t taste like much honestly. I would assume this would be due to age, but looking back at my previous note I can see that I didn’t think this tea tasted like much in the beginning either. I do like some of the other blends from Geeky Teas, but this one isn’t on that list.

! Jareth deserves more love from a tea blend! (I’m a huge Labyrinth fan, and have a teacup with the “’allo” worm on it!)

Hahaha, yes! My husband is also a big Labyrinth fan – I’ve known from the beginning that Jennifer Connelly is his one great love, lol. I bet your teacup is adorable!!

That is a bummer that Jareth doesn’t have a better tea.
Several years ago I decided to dress as Sarah in the masquerade scene and my hubby agreed to be the Jareth to my Sarah. I made him the pendant Bowie wears for his costume. Everyone knew who he was supposed to be, but thought I was just a princess. :/

That’s so sad! I would’ve known. Labyrinth was the go-to movie that got put on for me growing up, because I am also a Sara (albeit I spell it differently, but ya know… parents made the connection, that and Neverending Story seemed to be in a constant rotation in my house, hahaha!) Growing up, if I ever pouted and said, “That’s not fair!” my Dad would always reply, “You say that so often.” Aaaaaaaaaaaah. Now I want to re-watch Labyrinth

Had to try this one first. It reminded me of the babe. Anyway, one teaspoon in eight boiling ounces after 2 minutes and 45 seconds. Peach, apricot, malt, and sweetness primarily come through. I could partially taste the other ingredients, but the ones I listed were dominant and mildly astringent. The peach was intentional, and any fan of the movie would know why. It was so smooth and so sweet on its own-no need for sugar whatsoever. Can’t say that cream, sugar and honey wouldn’t compliment it though.

It certainly made my day. Little obscure references are too few. I needed a reminder of one. Thank you Nicole, and thank you Geeky Teas!

I think almost anyone would enjoy this, but the audience is obvious. Some oolong lover might enjoy this one if they brew it lighter to get the same type of apricot note in their tea. Newbies would certainly like it, and certain connoisseurs might make an exception for flavoring this once.
