It’s an abnormally hot summer day as you walk about the convention. Pick a convention, any really, will do. Minding your own business you stop and realize something. Women in fancy Victorian dresses walk about, laughing. Bronze adorns bare arms and chests, and goggles rest upon every brow.

“A proper gentleman should always carry a good walking cane.” You here one particularly dapper fellow pipe in.

Lost and confused? Not sure who these people are or if you’re on the proper side of the time line? Don’t worry, it’s just the steampunk movement making itself known.

Not sure what steampunk entails? Wonderful! Welcome aboard!

Turned a spanner more times than you have a steering wheel? Terrific!

Here at Steam-y Tea we try to serve you steampunk news that’s just as refreshing as the beverage it’s named for. No airship is too small, nor the world too big. An adventure (and tea!) is lurking just over the horizon.

Steampunk? What’s that?

‍Most people think of the following when they first hear steampunk: Goggles Gears Funny hats Those fancy dresses Goggles ‍

But there’s significantly more to it than that (although goggles are certainly a plus). Steampunk is a movement that looks at this simple idea: What if the technological revolution had come during the Victorian era? Wouldn’t that be amazing. At the time, the world was just starting to come together in the age of the British and American Empires.People were doing things, and that was amazing. The technological revolution brought about microchips, massive machine designs and anything you can imagine having been created by the sci-fi genre. Combine the two, and it’s a pretty amazing thing.

You’re probably thinking of London right now, but remember, it was not the only place going through this period. America, Japan, India: all of these nations were pushing the limits of science and imagination. Or they would have been had they known about a way to open the world. That’s what steampunk is, so gears are always necessary.
