Adventaggedon Day Twenty – 6/6
Very, very much wanted to like this tea. It’s such a cool reference – not just because of Star Wars but because of the way the phrase “Nerfherder” has expanded as nerd slang since Star Wars. I knew I wasn’t going to like it as soon as I smelled the dry leaf though, and that was confirmed with my first sips. It just had such an awful taste of skunky gas station coffee. Really cheap and muddy with an unpleasant sourness.
There’s also jasmine tea in the blend, not that you can taste it at all with the coffee drowning it out – but if you could taste it how weird would that be with the coffee? The inclusion of it just completely baffles me. What could the blender have possibly been trying to acheive? It’s not even like there’s any low hanging explanation for it from a fandom side, either…

I know it’s a Star Wars reference, but as a Buffy fan, that’s the first thing I think of when I see ‘Nerfherder’
