Yeaaaaahhhhhh. I am way behind on this one. But whatevs. Still showing it. Riddle's Tea Shop released a Halloween and then a holiday Deatheater's Tea Club box and then one more Auror Tea Society box for Christmas. I did get all three as they are the last quarterly boxes Riddle's is doing for a little while. These boxes were $42 and included teas, art, a coaster, a candle and more. All themed around the thinning of the veil.
A decaf tea flavored in Vanilla Pumpkin Chai and named Merope's Embrace emerged from the box. Merope Gaunt, the mother of Tom Riddle, led a melancholy life so her embrace may be a despondent one. I have not sipped this one yet but I am sure it will be delish.
An enamel pin and wooden planchette coaster both slithered from the box with spells and symbols and all sorts of reptilian alchemy imbued upon them.
Two tin canisters housed a few bags of various flavored black teas. One was a spiced blackberry tea that tasted amazing.
What I enjoy about Riddle's teas is that they taste delicious enough that no sugar or milk is needed.
A Voldy tarot card lurked about the box as well, along with a tiny amethyst crystal and some pyrite.
I am coming to love these Tookish Candle Company candles. I keep stalking their store to see if they will be restocking any time soon.
I will see if I get around to showing the Christmas boxes. The Auror one was Holiday on the Hogwart's Express with cheery reds and golds in a classic Christmas theme and the Deathearter's box was an 80's prom/formal holiday dance with teals, pinks and purples. They both contained some gems in there like hilarious pins, tea towels and even ornaments.
Do you drink tea? What are some of your favorite tea getting places?
