Geeking out over Sherlock - in public

[impulsereader]

Guys - I just made a spectacle of myself in public. Seriously.

Since I came back from Edinburgh I've been aware that it is time to Get Serious About Tea. The teabags at work produce something, well, vile, in comparison to real tea. So when I was out today and I passed an Adagio tea store, I went in. I picked out a little tea-for-one set to have at work and smelled a bunch of tea. Then I was checking out and to my right on the counter saw -





I nearly began hyperventilating. I then proceeded to represent our fandom by gasping out something like - Oh my god, they're slashing the tea. This is slash tea! This is so awesome! I'm going to need to take a lot of pictures now and then buy all of these.

The girl who was helping me was pleased that I was so happy, but she was a little confused by How Happy I was.

Bloody hell. I can't drink tea myself (unless it's herbal) but I could so with some of that to send to friends. Is it only available over the pond?

How is this real? And in an actual SHOP? And how for the love of all that's holy do I get some? I'm in Australia. They don't deliver to Australia. *weeps disconsolately*

And OMG they have TARDIS tea and avengers teas and even tea for Remus Lupin!!! *sobs at the unfairness of not living in London*

Adagio also has this, and, my favorite, this. You can make and name your own blends.

I'm imagining you squeeing "slash tea" in the store, and smiling :-)

Even though . . . my favorite tea is Twinings Irish Breakfast . . .

Even though . . . I also have an unopened package of Chinese tea (from Henan province, no less, and dear God is it tasty). . .

Even though . . . I really shouldn't be spending extra money on a graduate student's "income" . . .

I think I still feel the need to pay Adagio a visit when I get back in July after my trip. After all, it's not like tea goes bad. It'll keep while I drink the Irish and the Chinese teas. Plus, that shop looks awesome.

Loose leaf tea, I presume?

*dies laughing* Ah, fandom. Guaranteed to make you say things you never thought you'd say in public.
