Yes, I am a huge horror fan. One of the first movies I remember watching when I was a kid with my dad is Army of Darkness. At the time, I just thought it was a fun weird off the wall movie. I loved every cut scene and one liner. Plus, the leading actor had this crazy chin. Little did I know this movie would actually set the tone for a good chunk of my life and my obsession with all things horror and supernatural.
When Starz green lighted Ash vs Evil Dead, I was ecstatic! I couldn’t wait and when the show aired, I was instantly in love! Even tho I still love the original Evil Dead movies, there is a special place in my heart for this series. Any way I can get more Bruce Campbell, I’m all over it.
So let’s chat about this tea dedicated to the Evil Dead Series, Boomstick. If you are familiar with the series, Boomstick is one of the iconic fixtures of the movies/show. Boomstick is the gun that Bruce Campbell aka Ash uses. With that kind of description, you would think this would be a smoky blend of some sort. While there is a underlying smoke from this green flavored tea, there is also a sweetness.
Boomstick is a gunpowder green tea with strawberry flavorings added in. Sweet yet smoky and that is exactly the flavor profile of this tea as well. What you really come away with are this rich bursting strawberry notes that sweetened that smoky gunpowder green tea perfectly. The perfect way to describe the main character as well. He is sweet and cares as much as he is sleek and charming, well and maybe a bit off the wall as well.
Overall, a great flavored unique tea that was bursting with so much fresh flavor. I could see this being an amazing tea as a cold brew too. Especially with those chilly fall/winter days upon us. A fresh burst of strawberry can always brighten up someone’s day.
I will be ordering more of this tea so I can watch the series premiere of season 2 of Ash Vs Evil Dead in style while drinking out of my awesome mug! And yes, I have to end this review like this. . .Groovy!

#FanaticFriday: Sherl Grey from Geeky Teas
I have always had a love hate relationships with bergamot and earl grey blends. But when I saw Sherl Grey Tea from Geeky Teas, I had to try it. Well because I’m sort of obsessed with Sherlock. I even named my new puppy Benedict after the lead actor of Sherlock.
Sherlock is one of those shows that you watch one episode and you are hooked. Each episode is almost like a mini movie and with our schedule with 4 boys, watching an hour and a half episode a night causes havoc. But this show is captivating and extremely engaging. We binged on all available seasons in just a few weeks. We actually formed family time around the show. But enough about the show, let us chat tea!
Sherl Grey isn’t your typical earl grey blend. The flavors are light and subtle but full of flavor. First whiff of the blend I knew I was in for a treat.
Brewed up with water prepped at 212F and allowed to steep for about 4 minutes, this blend yielded one of the best earl grey teas I’ve had. The tea tasted fresh and though the bergamot was present, I didn’t feel overwhelmed by that notable flavor. I was able to enjoy the lovely mix of citrus tang, black tea base, a creamy lush texture, and a slight berry twist at the end of every sip. Incredibly enjoyable and one that I will be ordering more of to enjoy when I’m watching the next season of Sherlock.
This is one of the better tea blends I’ve had from Geeky Teas. Even my husband asked me if we could order more of this one. I can’t wait to try this tea on ice!
