#tea meme response

[andersspicyshimmy-blog]

Leelee offers Bianca and Sebastian... Is it too late for the wonderful tea meme?

Bianca: A really, really good quality sencha. Crisp and clean-tasting, elegant in the simplicity of its taste and able to inspire people to adoration and adulation; to be the only tea they'll ever drink, ever again. Cheerful and brightly coloured, gently processed, with notes that speak of grass and earth and sun and happiness; good for the heart. Sebastian: A fruit infusion. Apples, strawberries, and blackberries; a rich full taste, like Chantry wine, and a dark red liquor. Sweetness and bitterness mixed together, a little sweet and a little sour, fighting for dominance over the tastebuds.

Wait is the tea meme still a viable thing if so the girls minus Fiona please?

Yvette: Tung Ting Oolong--sweet and light, with a strong distinct flavour that is all her own, like lilacs on the wind. The sort of tea that others look up to and try to emulate, she stands on her own without the help of anyone and inspires those around her.Aleida: A green tea, with fruity notes like peach and apricot but chai spices and pink peppercorns. Clean and crisp, a combination of sweet and spicy that is light on the palate.Helen: Keemun black tea, with faint hints of cherry and bergamot. Strong and rich, a determinedly bold taste that doesn't assault the senses but doesn't let them lie dormant, either. Sofria: Herbal tea, with chamomile as the primary ingredient. Understated and quiet with all sorts of hidden flavours that play under the surface, tantalizing the tongue without giving anything away but overwhelmingly calm, soothing, comfortable. Ramona: A sweet vanilla rooibos, that nestles warmth and cheer within everyone who partakes, fragrant steam curling up from the cup and suggesting freshly baked birthday cake, sprinkles, summer and springtime and smiles.

ALSO TEA ME AND AMY YES BECAUSE GOOD MEMORIES

DARLING. There is no tea that can encompass you, okay? Nothing that is capable of describing everything about you, much less how important you are to me. So I'm going to say genmaicha--because it was the first tea I ever tried and actually liked, because it acted as my gateway tea and got me hooked on tea in general, and is response for my love of every tea thereafter--much like you and I and fandom. Rooted in tradition, but with a quirk of silliness that makes it unique and loveable by all. And for Amy...oh goodness, she'd be something sweet and rich and decadent, like a chai tea latte. Warmth and comfort in your hands, friendliness and home and love all wrapped up in a cup with a heart in the foam on top <3

Jethann for the tea meme...even if it is super late. :p

Jethann, oh Jethann...lol. He'd be a rooibos tea, probably, rich and red and full of flavour, mingled with fruity flavours like strawberry and mixed in with a little bit of chocolate, decadent and delicious. He's too light for a black tea, too bright, but there's a history in the taste of rooibos that isn't present in the light flavours of greens and whites and oolongs; and one certainly can't forget the impact of aphrodisiacs, hm? ;)

((Super curious - what tea do you think Revka would be? :3))

Revka...something black, I think, maybe a Kenyan black tea, deep and full bodied and complicated and full of hidden flavours, blended with cinnamon and orange peel and just a little bit of aniseed or liquorice. It's barely there, enough to be noticed but difficult to identify, like trying to call to mind a long-buried memory, and it cuts the sweet familiarity of the cinnamon orange just enough to make you wary--but also pique your interest, and make you come back for a second and third and fifteenth cup to figure out just what that flavour is.

Chiral Surana :>

Chiral would be an oolong, definitely! Probably a 40-50% oxidized one; sweet and light and delicate to reflect his stature and his bearing, unassuming and  quiet but with a hint of something deeper, something more complex; just on the edge of those deeper notes, the ones that speak of dusk and twilight and fall days rather than the bright light and sweet scents of spring.

*comes out of hiding just to pelvic thrust the word "Zevran" in your inbox*

Zevran is a chai, spicy and exotic, blended with an Assam that speaks of long tradition and deep complexity and just a hint of chili and pink peppercorn, giving him a bit of heat, a faint taste of danger. Easy to drink your first cup; until you suddenly and unexpectedly fall in love with the flavour and find yourself unable to really consider anything else. Warm and smooth, with a thread of sweetness that is utterly unexpected given the ingredients.

slams alejandro hawke into ur inbox for the tea stuff B)

Alejandro is a white tea, definitely, a Pai Mu Tan or maybe a Silver Needle. Sweet and delicate in nature, unassuming; no overly aggressive flavours to assault the taste buds. Simple and uncomplicated, but powerful in it's simplicity. Gives way to other, stronger flavours of fruit and flowers, but is still a necessary foundation to allow those tastes to be truly developed and appreciated.
