Hey everyone! I have been a long long long time forum lurker, but I wanted to share these with you!
Adagio Teas has a whole entire section devoted to custom user made blends-- and a whole section of that devoted to FANDOM inspired blends. When I looked, there were exactly zero Suikoden teas ;--; I knew I had to fix it!
So I'm making and promoting Suikoden-inspired tea blends!! I maKe -zero money- off these teas (though if someone purchases my tea blends, I get points towards purchasing more tea for myself so I can taste test new blends, and continue the cycle of tea!). These are purely for fandom's sake, and for the sake of tea-loving Suiko-fans everywhere!
Here are the blends I currently have up:
'Forgotten Days' (Tir Blend) - green tea blend; light, sweet, balanced tea with grounded by black tea with a slight hint of citrus and spice
'Gremio's Kitchen' (Gremio Blend) - BASICALLY TASTES LIKE COOKIES. Vanilla oolong and green tea, almond oolong blend.
'Bright Shield' (Riou Blend) - You should probably like oranges, as this tea is very orangey. Green/white/mate blend.
'La Mer' (Lazlo Blend) - Tropical pina colada, with underlying mango and a touch of tangy hibiscus. White/herbal blend.
'Eightfold Black' (Yuber Blend) - Three different black teas; strong and spiced without being overwhelmingly so
'Calculated Risk' (Albert Blend) - Rooibos blend; tastes similar to a creamy raspberry amaretto.
'Silver Maiden' (Chris Blend) - White tea blend with refreshing peppermint and lemon balm (which is more like a honey flavor than lemon)
New! 'Brilliant But Lazy (Caesar Blend) - Nutty, sweet almond and hazelnuts are perked up and given that little hint of genius by ginger, but mellowed out by cocoa notes.
New! 'Black Sword' (Jowy Blend) - Malty, rich black tea blend— slightly smoky, with a little bit of tart sweetness like dates
New! 'Beautiful Morning' (Nanami Blend) - Strawberry and sweet summer fruits over a vanilla oolong base.
New! 'Fire Bringer' (Hugo Blend) - 'Cinnamon as heck' is probably the best way to describe this black tea blend that will light a fire under you and get you going in the morning.
New! 'Robber's Tea' - Based on the infamous Mt. Tigerwolf special, this soothing, naturally caffeine-free blend of chamomile, lemongrass, and peppermint will have you shuffling off to sleep before you know it-- just make sure you're not drinking it in the company of bandits.
I have teas on deck for Flik, Viktor, Geddoe, Frey, Thomas, Apple, Snowe, Sasarai, and Luc.... and SO MANY MORE.
Basically Adagio is a super company that caters to its customers and the power of creativity-- and fandom. Also, I get to design all my own labels, which is wayyyyy too much fun (you can see them on the different teas' pages, I won't put them up here and bog down the thread).
Hope you enjoy! Feel free to spread the word via tumblr/twitter/whatever you use!

What about 'bear tea' (Viktor)? I'd drink anything with his portrait on it!

Oh wow, thanks so much for the post at the Revival Movement! I hadn't even thought about sharing it there yet, even though I'm a member I don't use Facebook as much as I could, I guess, haha.
I -definitely- will have a Viktor tea (and Flik, and Nanami, and and and and and.... ) There are just so many characters, this is the most fun fan project I've done yet.

Hi guys! I updated the master list at the top with a ton of new character blends, plus my take on the infamous 'Robber's Tea,' which was so awesomely inspired by a few comments at the Revival Movement page. Thanks for checking them out! :3
