I think Mordor tea has long existed under the name Lapsang Souchong. Tastes all of ash and smoke to me.

I wonder which part of Middle Earth equates to Assam? Though Shire Breakfast Tea is probably fine..

If lapsang souchong comes from China, but it is Mordor's tea, and Assam tea comes from India, then in Middle-earth terms it probably comes from Gondor. The Shire doesn't strike me as the proper environment tho grow tea in, they would have had too get their tea from the south, and over the Misty Mountains. It's a wonder that hobbits could afford tea in the first place!

The hobbits also grow tobacco so why not tea? I can see them growing tea in southern Gondor though - Lebennin and Belfalas maybe.

Alas! The Saul Zaentz Company has hit Adagio with a restraining order over copyright issues and so they have temporarily withdrawn all Tolkien-themed teas.
Adagio Teas on Twitter Tumblr Adagio teas I just might be the last person to have got some, since daughter ordered this for me just before my birthday. ![]()

Wow. And some say the Estate is too strict on licensing! At least their motives are likely to derive from more than greed.
