Tolkien-themed tea blends

[Bêthberry]

Apparently Adagio has withdrawn the teas temporarily while they try to see if they can find a way legally to provide fan-made blends. This really started as fans trying to make mixes that matched their favourite characters, so it isn't like the company started it.

Aganzir, I've tried the Sleeping Dragon (which is not part of the Tolkien fandom blends) and quite enjoyed it. Most of them were black tea-based and I wanted some green teas, which is what inspired my choices. Once daughter and I agree on water temp and brewing time I'll try the others.

Ditto.

Ridiculous business. Seriously, Saul Zaentz, seriously?

How natural are their teas, B-berry? Is it actual blends, or do most include artificial flavouring? I'm not a friend of the latter myself because it makes everything taste the same.
