Custom Zootopia-themed Tea Blends! by Lanovran

For any fellow tea-drinkers out there, I highly recommend checking out Adagio Teas online.  They have an immense selection of terrific teas, many of which are sourced direct from the growers.  They also have an option of creating your own custom, fandom-based blends!  I have already put together a few Zootopia-related tea blends, basing my decision of what to add to them on what tea varieties and flavors I feel can not only blend together in a tasty way, but also represent aspects of the characters for whom they're named.  They even let you "ship" different teas with one another to go along with the fandom theme, and you can get a 10% discount for buying both blends in a 'ship!  Here are the four custom blends I've come up with so far...

Nick Wilde - a blend of Adagio's stoic-yet-snappy "Mambo" tea, which itself is a mix of a good Yunnan black tea with a dark Wuyi oolong, along with the blueberry tea from their "flavors" collection, plus a bit of orange honeybush, which is an African variety related to rooibos with a twist of orange flavor (for that bushy orange tail o' his).  Finally, a scoop of dried blueberries was added in, just because.

Judy Hopps - includes gunpowder green tea for Judy's explosive energy and dedication to police work, plus a soft "snowbud" white tea to match her cute lil' cottontail, some lavender for her eyes, and some classic red rooibos to add a sweet sort of carrot-like zing to the whole thing.

The two above teas are "shipped" for a discount (though as of writing this, at least one ingredient in the Judy tea is unfortunately out of stock).

Wilde-Hopps - a blend with some terrific chemistry, this one combines Adagio's "Foxtrot," which is a smooth, fresh, 'n' cool blend of chamomile, peppermint, and vanilla rooibos, with a brave 'n' bold portion of earl grey, along with Adagio's Valentine-themed chocolate strawberry black tea.  This one also has a scoop of blueberries, because - again - why not?

Clawhauser - a bit more on the sweet side, this blend includes an earl grey cream (tastes a bit like breakfast cereal, honestly) mixed with gingerbread flavor for a pastry-like quality, plus a helping of both chocolate chips and sprinkles!  This one was fun to make. :P

I'll try to come up with ideas for more blends in the future, but I think this is a good start. :)


Apparently, one can also link the sale of their blends to various charitable organizations. I've linked my four blends to four different organizations that support the protection and conservation of animals, wildlife, and natural areas.


Update: I've just added two more blends! Chief Bogo, with honeybush, pu erh, sour apple, and peppercorns, and Yax, with green pekoe, "white eternal spring," safflower, and masala chai (as of now, Yax is not yet available).


Update #2: Check out these cool little tins that they use for the tea samplers!
