Mother Of Dragons

sample from VariaTEA. I don’t love green teas, so wasn’t expecting much from this one. OVerall, it brews up to this murky greenish water which isn’t wholly appealing …and then taste wise it’s very much a green tea…with a little sweetness and a bit of generic “fruit” taste to me. not a win.

I asked my sister to pick a tea for me and this is what she pulled out. Not sure what drew her to this but I am happy with it. It’s generically fruity with some rose notes. I like that the green tea base hasn’t made much of an appearance in the first couple of sips. It’s a nice enough tea but not one I need a lot of in my life. The last little bit I will either have iced or pass on if I think of someone who needs to try this.

And since its a fandom tea, the other questions is whether it suit its namesake? I feel like no. It has dragonfruit, which is a nice nod to the khaleesi but dragonfruit is such a subtle flavor that its easy to forget its in there. So that aside, nothing else really says Dany. Roses is definitely more the Tyrells and green tea seems too light for such a powerful person. I guess in my mind I would have thought more smoke. Maybe that’s too on the nose. One cool thing I will note is it steeps up an interesting neon-ish, almost green color. It reminded me of the wildfire in the show but even that is not really connected to this character (her dad, yes…not her).
