I think it's cool that you can have a character's favorite tea on their actual birthday. It's just a shame that while I was looking for a proxy, it sold out. They had a 2 month window for preorders and they sold out in 2 days. Even they underestimated fan's love of the game and tea...

Yeah I was pretty disappointed that u couldn't order it as I'm outside of Japan. I read that they're possibly considering a rerun at a later date though, so maybe there's still hope!

I'm no tea expert by any means, but Assam Tea is one of my absolute favorite blends so good choice imo in making the Hresvelg Blend with Assam Tea Leaves as one of the main ones in the mix.

[@Red_Bl4ze]

Definitely a quality choice to pair with the other flavours there, yeah

[@eminent3609]

I'm curious since I've never had it before, what does it taste like?

[@kcsupersonic1]

@@eminent3609 I would describe Assam Tea as having a rich taste with a good amount of depth. Some describe it as "malty," which is probably what I attribute the depth of flavor to be coming from. It's also a Black Tea so it has a decent amount of caffeine. It is a robust full flavored tea as opposed to something like a Green Tea. Assam is used in a lot of traditional "English Breakfast Teas."

[@Julessian]

It's a nice flavor too since I'm sure many know its taste because its quite a common tea to use for milk tea because of its strong taste!

[@tristanbowles7258]

PSA to my fellow Americans (and possibly other places). Look up Adagio tea Fire Emblem for unofficial recreations of all the teas from in game. The ones I got were really good. They were originally made for a fan made Zine that isn’t available anymore.

[@Rowlet_Prince_Kamui]

Seeing that there were plushies made of male and female Byleth gives me hope that someday there will be plushies for male Corrin and the Robins as well! The tea-set is absolutely amazing~ I love how well they're made! Bummer that it's sold out. Hoping that they may be obtainable for the West.

[@YuubiTimberwolf]

I would kill for a Robin plush, the coat alone is just the best design ever and Robin os such a grrat character Hope Chrom gets a plush too AND LYN, ELIWOOD AND HECTOR

[@toadboy4]

I would die for a male Corrin plush! I want one too bad, and Chrom would be awesome, same for the Robins

[@Rowlet_Prince_Kamui]

@@toadboy4 I would love to see more merch for my dragon boi! Poor male Corrin lacks merch. Yes there are those chibi keychains when Fates got released but holy hell they're 20-50 bucks. And his amiibo is also overpriced due to scalpers. I'm lucky to own his amiibo and one of the keychains but not everyone is able to get that at a good price. It's a bummer really. But I also agree that other plushies of other characters I forgot to mention would be great, too! Like there are so many popular characters in the series, and I think Nintendo's really missing out on an opportunity here. Peeps want plushies of their faves, so it'd be great to see someday! (Hopefully!)

[@toadboy4]

@@Rowlet_Prince_Kamui yeah, wave 3 is probably gonna come out in 2024-2025 so hopefully then (even though that feels long from now) we can get a male Corrin plush, and one for Chrom & Robin as well, I feel like Chrom & male Corrin can be simple, especially if they’re doing the more complex Byleth & three house leaders, male Corrin pretty much has the same armor as female Corrin so that’s pretty easy there, & Chrom has a similar design to older characters like Ike & Marth so he should be pretty easy, I have big hopes for these 3, especially male Corrin The amount of people I’ve seen actually asking for male Corrin gives me more hope

[@Rowlet_Prince_Kamui]

​@@toadboy4 True, true! Male Corrin's plush would just need to be an altered female Corrin plush. With no thigh gap and different hair. So you'd think that Nintendo would make a plush of him as it'd be simple enough to do! Now if the Robins got plushies, that may be a bit more complicated as the coats are complex. However, that being said, if one if made for male Robin, all Nintendo needs to do is use the same template for female Robin or vise versa! Here's hoping though! Bro I really hope so! There ARE Male Corrin fans out there! I mean hey, it's because of his growing fanbase that he was able to get close to the Choose Your Legends 6 top 10! So if anything, it means that there is a fanbase for him and there are indeed people that love him just as much as female Corrin! ^- ^ Myself included! And while it's very unlikely, I would love to be able to get my husband a Jakob plush. He cosplays the smug butler irl so I know he'd love one of him!

@@GreenWolf2k Fire Emblem is a franchise that, despite receiving a lot of attention in the west, is more of a niche than say Super Mario Bros and Pokémon as the fanbase is much smaller here than in Japan. If we were to make a list by western sales of Nintendo's big franchises than Fire Emblem would be below Animal Crossing as more recent games like Awakening and Fates helped bring the franchise back into relevance in the west.

[@GreenWolf2k]

@@johnathanedwards9054 Mmmmmm good point. I didn't even think about that. Most people I've spoken to who know the name Fire Emblem was because of Smash or some know it from Three Houses.

@@GreenWolf2k I have known since about Awakening that this franchise existed but didn't played it until Fates, I actually knew about Fire Emblem before I knew about Smash Bros. Since then I have played the older games and I like how diverse the cast is for each game and how unique its genre is, tactical role-playing games are few and far between and Fire Emblem is the undisputed king in my eyes. What I think also hurts its sales is that most of the marketing for Fire Emblem in the west is done online rather than putting a time slot for a television commercial, the last Fire Emblem commercial I saw on the television was for Fire Emblem Fates back when it first released.

I saw these tea collections on Amiami (which ships globally!) and did a double take. But yeah, they sold out the day they went up on Amiami. I'm not a tea drinker, so I wasn't going to steal a preorder, but I love the concept. Intelligent systems also opened up orders again on Amiami for a bunch of acrylic stands and keychains of many Three Houses characters if anyone's interested. There's a keychain for every character, but sadly only a select few characters have acrylic stands. I ordered some stands from Amiami the first time the orders were open. Keep in mind international shipping is bonkers expensive right now tho. A very small, light package to be shipped via EMS was just quoted to me as being at least $30, which cost more than the item I was purchasing. And for many countries, EMS and DHL are all that are available unless you want your item to get put on a boat, and you won't see if for like six months. Trust me on that.
