NovelTea Tins: Tea Blends Based On Classic Novels
Gabi Morataya

NovelTea Tins are a fun new way to combine tea and novels. The tins are in the shape of books, opening in the front like one would open a novel. They all have punny names and are based on classic novels, such as War and Peach, based on Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace. There are currently six tins and tea blends for sale: Pride and Peppermint, Matcha Do About Nothing, Oliver Lemon Twist, Don QuixoTea, The Picture of Earl Grey, and War and Peach.

Personally, I’m not much of tea drinker, but I am a big reader and I couldn’t resist these. The first one I bought was Don QuixoTea. Unfortunately, my first NovelTea Tin showed up a bit dented, but when I contacted them the customer service was great and they sent me a replacement in perfect condition. I contacted them on Tuesday and by Friday I had a new tin that was packed with a lot more bubble wrap.

The second one I bought was Pride and Peppermint. I am absolutely in love with this tin. I think it’s beautiful and I love not only the art, but also the texture of the front. I don’t usually like tea, but I actually quite like Pride and Peppermint. My dad and I got out my abuela’s fine china and my family had a little tea party. When we first opened the little package of tea we thought the smell of peppermint was a bit overwhelming, but when we brewed it none of us thought the taste of the peppermint was was too strong. My sister didn’t want to try it because she’s not a tea drinker and she doesn’t like peppermint. However, when she did try a taste she said it wasn’t too bad and her biggest complaint was that it had gotten cold by the time I’d convinced her to taste it.

I’m a Jane Austen fan, so the fact that Pride and Peppermint exists makes me very happy. I’m also happy that NovelTea is working on a tea blend for Sense and Sensibility called Sense and Senchability. I asked if there was an approximate date for the release of this tin and they said that they don’t have a date yet. They also said that they might release it as just a tea blend first, then make a tin for it if it’s popular.

The tins come in two different sizes. Don QuixoTea, War and Peach, and The Picture of Earl Grey are the original collection and they are the larger ones. The British Blends collection, Pride and Peppermint, Matcha Do About Nothing, and Oliver Lemon Twist, come in a smaller size. The bigger ones have their tea come in them as one large package of loose tea, while the smaller ones have their tea in them as two smaller packages. Once you've finished your tea and want to refill your tin, the tea blends are available for sale without the tin.

NovelTea Tins will be launching an IndieGoGo on the first of April to sell paper cartons in addition to their tins. The cartons will contain the British Blends, including one they are currently working on called Pippi Oolongstocking.

Be sure to check out their site and take a look at their beautiful tins!

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
