It’s easy to blow off tea as a drink for little old ladies and influencer moms holding mugs with two hands. But Satanic Tea Co. are here to remind you that Satan wants you relaxed. With their various unholy blends, the company has won over the likes of satanic royalty like Cradle of Filth, Cryptopsy, and Bloodbath. Now, the project isn’t just a purveyor of fine teas, but a musical one, with the band’s new single “Blood Drenched Torture Chamber” proving just gore-drenched and misanthropic the band is willing to get.
We decided to ask Satanic Tea Co. to rank their teas according to how satanic they were. Of course, for the project’s svengali Crucifix, there’s more to worshipping Satan than corpsepaint and spikes:
“What makes something ‘Satanic’ to me is in intention that goes into it. A satanist created these tea blends for like minded individuals to enjoy. And perhaps how much priests blood I can sneak into the curing process (jokes). A big part of Satanism to me is empathy. Empathetic folks wield big satanic energy. If your racist, homophobic, transphobic, science denier this shit is not for you. Making loose leaf tea is a very ritualistic process that takes a certain amount of awareness and being in the moment to create the perfect cup of tea. Steep too long or add too much and the tea can be overly bitter and unsatisfying etc. From pouring scorching hot water over the leaves to fueling the debauchery of Satanic Tea Co, tea is a very metal beverage.”
Here’s what the satanic tea leaves said to us:
10. COCONUT CHAI – Chai Blend

Black tea chai blend with added organic coconut shred. No bullshit, massive flavour with an aroma that will have the dead crawling out of their graves for the chance to grab a cuppa.
