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.

I probably should wait to review this because I WAAAY overleafed this on my first brew. 3 minutes at 205 and yikes. Normally I am very calculated and measure everything out. Not today. Today, I threw caution to the wind. And look where it got me. With a brew that tasted of nothing but bitter. So, I poured out that steep and resteeped the leaves for about the same time. This second brew is still dark but some of the bitterness is gone. Not worth drinking however. There is potential here though. There are hints of lavender and vanilla. It kind of reminds me of Liquid Prousts Oolong Spa tea.

Despite me screwing this one up, the scent here wafting up from the brewed tea are lovely.

I ordered this for my tea book club. We are reading Let The Right One In and so I ordered a few vampire based teas, this being one of them. But they don’t have brewing parameters/suggestions on their packaging or their website (that I have seen). So here I am testing them out before the book club meeting in order to get them right. Hopefully I can do an updated review later when I actually steep it correctly.

I love that you find teas for your book club that are appropriate. Also, this web site is the stuff of my dreams. I need to buy some stuff from here. THEY HAVE SOMETHING CALLED BELA LUGOSI’S ASHES.

It is like one of my favorite things about hosting a monthly book club. I love pairing things like that. And yeah, that website had me super excited about all the fun teas they have going on.
