#*black tea

Criteria: Milk tea friendly, goes well with milk and sugar

A request right up my alley as I love milk tea. If you have a Japanese market in your area you can usually buy royal milk tea in cans. It’s called “hime koucha” (Princess black tea.)

Ragdolls are one of the largest domestic cat breeds, weighing up to 20 pounds. Ragdolls are considered dog-like due to their interest and love of people and their ability to be trained in games such as fetch.

For this I went with a doll more along the lines of a porcelain one. Let me know if I'm off base, dollkin anon! A redo is an option. c:

Afternoon tea parties were once events strictly found among the elite upper crust of society and emulated by little girls of all classes. For a dollkin, I decided to look into classic afternoon teas most commonly found in those events, typically light or medium black teas that pair well with desserts.

Criteria from requester: No chamomile

While I may not be well-versed in spacial science, I do know that black holes are the darkest dark that could be achieved. It was a toss-up between a black base (which is bold but not necessarily dark) or a puerh tea (brews dark but with an earthy taste.)

Why not both?

The harsh climate of the desert tests the most hardy of plants and only a few are strong enough to call the desert home. An icon of these barren landscapes is the cactus, a succulent that has evolved alongside its climate and other living things to thrive. I decided to look into any base tea, ideally but optionally spicy (kind of a default for dragonkin to me) with cactus.

Apologies to the anon from earlier. I need to read more carefully. To make up for it I have two fills for the same character!

I continued the rose theme as roses are fairly common additives to tea. I used mostly the same prompts from Garry, black base with rose petals. This time I left out sweet flavor and opted for straight rose tea.

Republic of Tea has a limited tea called Rose Petal Black. It's exactly what it sounds like, black tea with rose petals. It is a seasonal blend so if you find it out of season there is an alternative.

Two Ib requests in a row. Because I finally figured out that ask that confused me. I misread a capital I as a lowercase l. Oops.

From what I can glean of Garry, he's a gentle man with homely tastes stuck in a dark world. Roses are a recurring theme in Ib as I can tell, so I decided to look at a black base tea with roses (surprisingly common) and either a sweet or gentle flavor.

Fleur is a very classy unicorn, lucky enough to grace Canterlot’s upper crust with her grace and charm. Due to her name and cutie mark, I looked into teas sourced from or produced in France, black base, with soft sweet flavor while retaining its black base.

Vanille des Iles from Mariage Freres, France’s premiere tea distributor, is a simple black tea with sweet vanilla flavor. Served best with milk and a pinch of sugar to bring out the vanilla, this tea is perfect for your next high-society meet and greet. The type where you would stick your pinkies out if you didn’t have hooves.

Criteria from requester: Easy to obtain

The year of Mary Read’s birth was the year China opened tea trade with the UK. There’s a reason quite a few history books mention the tea trade, it was a highly sought after and incredibly profitable trade, especially if you could get your own tea plantation in India or China. UK tea during Read’s time was largely sourced from India in the form of assam black tea.
