This is a PSA to let y’all know that there is an Aziraphale Blend of tea available on Adagio

I just ordered it. If you ship it with the Crowley tea you get 10% off.

Ok so. Lessons learned.

  1. Loose leaf tea is about 800% better than I remembered my God the flavors
  2. A good ratio is a little less than 3 teaspoons of tea in this mug.
  3. The Aziraphale tea has really great notes of sweet and bitter and spice. Possibly toss in a cinnamon stick?
  4. The Crowley tea made me astral project into another universe. It was so good I forgot to eat chocolate after dinner.
  5. Adagio is not kidding around when they say “high caffeine”
  6. Do not drink both teas back to back.
  7. Do not drink both teas after dinner.
  8. Infinite energy does not mean infinite writing
  9. I may have a caffeine hangover.
  10. Good God I need more tea.

I still can’t get over the weirdly specific merchandise Good Omens has.

Like, teas for the radio show (why?). Perfumes based on the book (to smell like a flaming sword??). Nail polish based on the show (why???).

They could’ve made a notebook with Crowley’s snake symbol slapped on and we’d probably all happily splurged on it. People went on Amazon specifically to hunt down Aziraphale’s angel mug, which was already there and has nothing to do with the show whatsoever. That’s how starved for merchandise people are.

But no. They made red and blue nail polish, and nothing else. It’s so random, I love it.

Wait… what?!

@theniceandaccurategoodomensblogIswear I am not making it up. Wait let me look up the links.

The nail polish on Amazon (I was wrong, it’s white and red, not blue)

The perfumes (from 2007 I think, @thegoodomensdumpster was the one who made me find them out and it’s quite the list).

If I remember correctly, there are some official pins on Discworld dot com, and a super cute official red umbrella given away at the TV Show premiere. And that’s all the official merchandise they did, I think.

Which is hilarious to me because the fandom has been here for 30 years and it literally exploded after the TV Show, you’d think Amazon would try to capitalize on such a fanbase more.

Omg it gets better, they have a HASTUR perfume

Now I’m convinced this is one of Crowley’s pranks.

What the actual fuck.

Whomakesthese?

I mean the tea is still kinda cool. Aziraphale at least likes tea. You can have it in the angel wing mug (which I was by the way convinced had to be merch).

Perfumes and nail polish on the other hand are the kind of merch they usually make for franchises that have everything else anyway, so you need a novelty to get people’s attention. This is the merch you get when everyone has their share of t-shirts, posters, mugs, duvet covers and what have you’s.

I was going to treat myself to something for Christmas/Survival of 2020, and I didn’t even find the teas and perfumes when browsing Amazon here (although they show up when using the UK and US sites). But nothing else shows up! I thought maybe everything already sold out or something, but you’re telling me there never was this kind of stuff?

So, where are my printed mugs, posters and duvet covers? They have these awesome designs on the series posters. These would look great printed out on cool glossy paper, or printed on mugs, or as notebook covers. They’re practically perfect for printing on anything and looking great.

Where is my skull and wings poster t-shirt so I can wear it to match the Crowley-ish sunglasses you can get on Amazon (also not official merch) and drink my Aziraphale tea from an angel wing mug?
