oh my god you guys I am sorry for all of this but now there are ship blends I guess?
The Consultants: [Sherlock/Moriarty] Harsh, alarming, and frustratingly alluring with flavors that circle each other like predators. Genius. (lapsang souchong, ginger, spiced apple chai)
I Am Sherlocked: [Sherlock/Irene] Rich, deep, smokey and seductive, with complex flavors you’ll be up all night trying to deduce. Twice. (lapsang souchong, chocolate, valentines)
MoraMori: [Moran/Moriarty] Moriarty and Moran. Dangerous, insane, and delicious. With notes of rich chocolate and caramel underlying bold spice, and just a hint of earthy, shallow graves. (tiger eye, pu erh dante, masala chai)
The Government and the Inspector: [Mycroft/Lestrade] Cloyingly rich and sweet, but strong and bold enough to do the dirty work, these flavors accentuate and compliment each other for a surprisingly solid pairing. (chocolate chai, hazelnut, irish breakfast)
Golly: [Lestrade/Molly] Fumbling sweet, innocent, and a bit bashful, but with an underlying desperate passion. (pu erh dante, vanilla green, caramel)
The Badge and The Gun: [Lestrade/Watson] A strong, solid cup of tea you can rely on when everything else has got you down. (irish breakfast, spiced green, hazelnut)
The Office Romance: [Moriarty/Molly] Deceptively sweet and mild, but with the suspicious trace of gunpowder and a lingering taste of spice. May have others questioning your judgement. (gunpowder, wild strawberry, spiced green)
BRITISH VERSION OF THIS:
1. BOIL THE KETTLE - IF YOU HAVE TO USE A STOVE OR MICROWAVE SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH YOUR HOUSE
2. USE ANY WATER IN EXISTENCE - FUCK FILTERING THAT SHIT YOU DON’T HAVE TIME TO MAKE A PROFILE YOUR SHOW IS BACK ON IN 5 MINUTES PRESS A
3. THROW WHATEVER THE HELL TEABAG YOU HAVE IN THERE - FUCK LOOSE TEA THAT IS FOR WHEN YOU ORDER TEA OUTSIDE
4. USE YOUR STIRRING TEABAG METHOD OF CHOICE, ADD SUGAR/SWEETENER LIKE A BOSS OR NOT IF YOU ARE A HEALTHY BOSS
5. GRUMBLE LIKE A FISHERMAN BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO LEAVE THE KETTLE AREA TO GO TO THE FRIDGE TO GET MILK AND BACK TO IT AGAIN AFTER YOU ADD IT
6. RUN BACK TO WHATEVER YOU WERE DOING, TAKE A COMFORT SIP AND THEN EITHER FINISH IT OR FORGET ABOUT IT AND MOAN ABOUT THE FACT THAT YOU LET IT GO COLD
Can our UK followers confirm/deny this? Seriously, I’m starting to get really curious. I’ve NEVER put as much trouble into tea as the pictures would recommend, but I thought that’s just because I’m American… <3, Rosi
UK follower here, confirming that although cute, the above graphic is needlessly complex and downright pretentious.
/continues to regret this entire endevour
This is adorable and people are seriously over-reacting. If you check the Adagio website, this is a neatly illustrated version of their ‘Tea training: Making the perfect cuppa’ (or something like that) page.
Also despite it looking complicated, apart from the tap water part, I do drink my Moriartea this way. There’s the OMG LET ME JUST GET A LIPTON TEABAG IN SOME BOILING WATER tea, and there is ‘classy high-tea let me enjoy a cuppa’ tea. It’s like percolated and instant coffee. It’s entirely a matter of preference at the time. :)
