Thanks to mtchyg for this sample! He knows I’m a sucker for all things gothy & skull. VAMPYRE TEAS? Obviously I’ve gotta try those.
I type this today wearing this t-shirt:

And it actually ESCALATES as Halloween approaches. I start in on dark lipsticks and painting my nails black.
The tea itself is touted as an almond/vanilla Earl Grey on Vampyre Teas’ very confusing hot mess of a site:
http://www.cupoflove.net/vampyre-tea
I mean, I have a question out the gate: Are they Cup Of Love tea or Vampyre Tea?
Do they NEED all these fonts and styles?
What’s with all the little “FREE SHIPPING” trucks? They’re under every tea, so why isn’t that just put somewhere else on the site as a statement about them all?
You guys, I want to like this site. I want it to be perfect because it’s everything I love: gothiness, kitsch, horror, tea.
But the tea, at least, is very tasty. It’s a nut/cream Earl Grey. There’s something a little astringent/metallic in there, which detracts a little bit from the overall experience. But in general, this is a pretty good blend. Not at the tippy-top of my list, but I’ll happily finish out the sample.
Flavors: Creamy, Earl Grey, Flowers, Metallic, Nutty, Vanilla

The 90s called, they want their website back
I feel like a shallow jagoff making fun of it, but that does matter. First impressions make a difference. If I didn’t have the tea literally in front of me, I’d have a few doubts about whether it was a real company.
Yeah, that website is something else. I was in awe myself when I went to order.
