So much love and respect for this. Thank you. As for what non-problematic fandom, Tress and the Emerald Sea, Yumi and the Nightmare Painter, or Warbreaker! Also Mistborn, or Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson! Is Star Wars problematic? Honest question! Princess Bride? Mel Brooks movies?

Having never heard of this tea company before, I may be repeating ones that already exist, but here are some of my favorites anyway! Earthsea Cycle! Discworld! Moomins! Singing Hills Cycle! Monk & Robot! Wayfarers! Legends & Lattes!

I remember reading that the author used to read outloud/write them for a blind school he used to volunteer at, so that's why the smell/taste/touch descriptions were always so elaborate. It was a way for some blind kids to connect to the stories.

As for fandom suggestions … Buffy, perhaps? You did just retire a bunch of TV inspired blends. (Relatedly, I still think Blue’s Clues would be a great addition to the Puppers of TV collection.)

I think you could really have fun making teas for T Kingfisher’s books, most specifically the books in the World of the White Rat and the Sworn Soldier series, but any of her stories seem rich in possibilities! …Or possibiliteas if you prefer a pun.

Oh yes, so much this!!! Paladin Stephen's blend would have cinnamon, pepper and ginger (for the muscle rub that Grace likes). Bishop Beartongue's would be black and astringent (maybe hibiscus?). Oh, Slate's would have to have rosemary in it. (I could waste all day doing this 😆 )

b/c you DID ask: maybe something based off King Arthur? (Arthur, Guinevere, and Lancelot?) World of Warcraft? (Horde and Alliance?) ofc, FFXIV (too many ideas for that one lol) Transformers? Voltron? not a fandom, per se, but PBS nostalgia? (Sesame St., Reading Rainbow, Mr. Rogers)

I feel like a Cookie Monster tea would be an interesting design challenge. (Obviously, since cookie flavored tea is probably impossible, you make a tea designed to be paired *with* chocolate chip cookies.)
