September Sipdown Prompt – a tea Animal would drink

I am so glad this is available at Tin Roof Teas, semi-locally. My first batch of it came from White Antlers and was from TeaGeschwendner but Tin Roof carries lots of their teas and I am thrilled I was able to replace my gift bag of it when it is was empty. It is so rich and chocolate-y. I drink it plain but I bet as a latte it would knock it right out of the park as the sugar and milk magnify the chocolate and boozy notes. It is delicious. You could add a little sploosh of whisky, and Animal would, I am sure of it. But that isn’t really a good idea at 6:45 a.m.

So why do I think Animal might drink this? Well, we know he drinks alcohol because he and other Muppets have been shown with beer. In fact, there is a great deal of alcohol consumption amongst the Muppets. Check out their Wiki!

In one show (one of the movies or specials, I think) he is chanting “NOG!” as he downs his beverage. So he likes rich, alcoholic beverages. And this is the closest thing I have.

In a Lipton ad, Animal gets in trouble with Miss Piggy because she has served water at her outdoor dinner party, and he yells, “NO TASTE. BORING!” or some such and spits out his water, hitting the pasta entree she is bringing out. Kermit saves the day by producing a big pitcher of iced tea, which Animal enjoys. Of course, that was for the paycheck.

I think Animal would also dig raw puerh. He would get into the bitter ones and totally trip out on the chi.

Bio

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fifteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
