Moogle-inspired Kupo Nut Tea blend on Adagio
One of our faithful followers, yuumegari, submitted to us a custom tea blend inspired by our series mascot, called Kupo Nut Tea.
Moogles are well-known for their addiction to Kupo nuts. I imagine they would taste strongly of almond and vanilla, with a hint of sweetness from the honeybush. Tastes best with a drop of milk and a spoonful of sugar.
‘I’m Kupo for Kupo nuts!’ ; A blend that could be as comforting as a Kupo nut for the zany moogles in the Final Fantasy series.Show her your support!
Water hot and weather cool,
And in your cup, a magic pool,
Filled with liquid, the amber brew,
And with a sip, the chill is slew.
But alas, the tea is hot,
And drinking is a patience not,
So you leave it be,
Rather foolishly,
And let the prospect rot.
Then time shall pass,
And that wispy gas,
Will be a dream long forgot.
But oh, that curse of brew too warm,
Pales in comparison, to the storm,
Of drinking a tea that’s cold
And feels weary like a heart of old.
Disappointment fills the soul,
We say farewell to our control,
Of temperature and tea’s neglect.
As we pour away the last remains,
We lament on the pain,
And with a sigh,
Then a silent cry,
We repeat the ordeal again.
The first sip of tea is always the hardest.
that isn’t supposed to be inspirational, I’m just stating it’s fucking nerve-racking waiting for it to touch your lips and potentially having it melt your face off
Black tea
Think black tea makes you feel good? You’re right. It’s been proven to help you de-stress fast. It also helps eliminate bad breath. Plus medical research indicates that it lowers the risk of heart attacks and strokes, and reduces bad cholesterol.
Green tea
Want to stay slim, trim and beautiful? The antioxidants in green tea just might slow signs of aging, prevent the flu and raise your metabolism. More dramatically, it’s being shown to prevent and slow cancer, and help with arthritis and bad cholesterol too.
Oolong tea
This one’s known as a fat-buster in China, and science is indicating that it does indeed speed up your metabolism, burn fat and block fat absorption! Use it to fight expanding waistlines, high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease.
White tea
Science is saying that white tea might be more effective than even green tea at preventing cell damage, shrinking cancerous tumours and stopping the growth of cancer cells. Plus it’s becoming the new cosmetic fix for aging skin. Beautiful!
Pu’erh tea
Traditional Chinese medicine prizes Pu’erh as a wonder tea. It’s said to aid digestion, cleanse the blood and help with weight loss. Studies in Europe are also saying it busts cholesterol as effectively as some medications.
Rooibos tea
It’s said that rooibos helps you recover from hangovers, and that it could slow dementia. Plus there’s evidence that it fights skin cancer and boosts the immune system. And it’s supposed to help with insomnia!
Maté tea
Yerba maté is a fabulous stimulant, without the jitters. It’s also full of antioxidants, so there’s scientific speculation that it could have anti-cancer properties, help stimulate the immune system and protect against disease.
Herbal tea
Herbs, spices, fruits and flowers have long been used in traditional medicine to cure everything from headaches, stomach bugs and colds to stress and insomnia. The power of the tea depends on its ingredients.

Cream butter and sugar together and add into the matcha mixture, mixing evenly again before putting into the freezer. Remove the mixture from the freezer after an hour and stir the mixture. Repeat the above step for another 3 times.
I appreciate good package design for common items like tea. Why shouldn’t it have a little personality and drop in for a visit once in a while?
