The Great Old One is an absolutely fantastic dark roasted coffee. My wife and I have used a viking - death themed coffee for a long time now (in before it was big, really), but I have to say this is a wonderful switch.
Bold favor, but not overpowering. And smooth. I have to add sugar to my coffee, but my wife drinks hers black — and we both love this coffee.
So I tried this coffee over a year and a half back. I got coffee for a friend of mine who's never had specialty coffee before. WELL I now have a coffee gremlin that scurries over to my house to borrow my coffee gear, grinder, and steal my time. My curse to bear now but be VERY aware that it's good coffee, I'm ranking top 5 consistent and perfect cups I've had in the world. Love these guys.
I have been buying this off and on the last two years. Whenever I have the extra cash I try and get at least two bags. I have vet to find a store brand that even matches the flavor and aroma o get from Dragon’s Nest.
Super tasty tea and shipping was fast. Got all my friends enjoying tea for the first time.
I love the way there's a cute little cat on every die, it makes the 1 rolls a little easier to take XD Normally custom or fancy dice sets are sharp edged but I much prefer a softer round edge and love that these have that rounded edge. I enjoy the fact that they're themed based on worlds as well, it's a really fun concept.
I got the subscription when it was $12; however, shipping ends up making it closer to $20, which is kind of expensive. The dice are simple but pretty, and the colors are gorgeous. It also comes with the same stuff as the tea/coffee subscription, so that’s nice, since it ends up being pricy for dice.
The paint in the numbers was a little spotted and heavy in certain areas. The colors were a little more muted then I would have liked but I couldn't tell if it was on purpose or not. I feel like they can only go up from here and am excited to see what comes out of it.
Beautiful design and tasty tea, this whole brand warms my heart and fulfills my daily need for fantasy / ttrpg
First, for a medium roast this one brewed to a visually quite dark color for me. It's quite strong in flavor, has a bitter side but not an unpleasant one. Notes are a little harder to pull out for me this time. If I really sit there with it I get the nuttiness of the almond in the middle of my palate and there's a brown sugar effect to the upper back of the palate. Caramel maybe comes in after, as a finish note. Overall very smooth and rich bodied for me.
I commented on the Instagram and I was told that this was told to us throught the newsletters. I'm a big fan of the extras that you give and so I read the newsletters and thought that it was weird that I had missed such a big change, so I went back and reread them all. There's no mention that you're reducing the subscription, nor about the dice removal. I did see that there was an email about the changes for March, but it didn't give any info about the dice being removed. I was forwarded to the faq on your site (which was difficult to find) and finally saw that there was info there about the change. This seems disingenuous and frankly a bit of false advertising to change our subscriptions without notice. I do love your products and am a recent subscriber to the patreon, but this really has made me question whether I want to keep paying $30 for a coffee subscription. I may have to cancel my subscription and just follow your world building stuff on patreon if this is the way I can expect your subscriptions to be handled.
I bought the resinous forge dice because i wanted to see what the free dice was being replaced with/how worth while. I personally am not a huge fan toward the switch up that seems to have happened recently. My past couple coffee and tea orders were missing the decorated tissue paper so I’m glad to see it back, but I still miss the general MWT sticker that used to come with every order.
For the dice themselves, i don’t know how worthwhile the switch is. These dice are nice, i like the color and how deeply inlayed the font on the faces are. They are definitely higher quality than the free dice, but I definitely could not find a way to justify buying these every month, and having the free dice absent from the regular orders makes the experience of my coffee and tea a little bit less special, I don’t really know if I like the trade off.
The character card is cool though! Its a shame but i probably won’t buy the dice again unless they have a set with an especially pretty design/colors
I've been tasting each of the coffee sample packs to decide which one I want to purchase a large bag of and it has been so hard to rank them! So far I've tasted The Great Old One, Homely House, Dragon's Nest, and Looking Glass.
So far my ranking is #4 Homely House #3 Dragon's Nest #2 Looking Glass and #1 The Great Old One (although #3 and #2 swap depending on if I make them as drip or espresso!)
I'm looking forward to trying the next pack!!
