Book and Tea Pairing, Volume 2
Hello everyone. My tea book club is currently working on reading its second book. Last time, some may remember, I came here seeking advice for a pairing and was pleasantly pleased with the response.
This month we are reading After Alice http://www.amazon.com/After-Alice-Novel-Gregory-Maguire/dp/0060548959
I have my ideas of what tea I want to pair with this book but I would love to get your opinions. Thank you so much for your wonderful suggestions!
Okay, maybe I’ll start. I was thinking this tea might be an obvious choice. http://www.amazon.com/Disney-Parks-Wonderland-Official-Unbirthday/dp/B005TMLTJK/ref=pd_sim_325_13?ie=UTF8&dpID=51jEWJSEkIL&dpSrc=sims&preST=AC_UL160_SR158%2C160&refRID=1WY8MPP6SGKS5RQS3P1P
Was hoping to get maybe some not so obvious suggestions from you all.
Well, there’s the Disney Mad Hatter blend, too
Tealeaves has a Mad Hatter Tea party blend but that’s a dangerous road to go down. They are not cheap and they are seriously awesome.
Maybe a flowering display tea? Twisted Green from Beautiful Taiwan?Jabberwocky from Whispering Pines? Earl of Time from Quarter to Tea? A rose or other floral herbal blend?
Interesting book choice. :)
+1 for WP’s Jabberwocky
Though, I also like the idea of a flowering/bloom tea; perhaps something with rose? I will point out that while the Disney teas are a good match thematically, they’re not super high quality teas themselves. Not to say they’re bad; but I’d call them average at best.
Jabberwocky was actually my second idea! I had the thought, “Jabberwocky would be great… and I should probably make another Whispering Pines order soon…” Love the way you are thinking.
And yeah, I agree about the quality of the Disney teas. Which is really why I wanted more suggestions because I knew you all would be able to get me to higher quality suggestions that still fit thematically.
What a fantastic idea! Maybe try a tea with rosepetals for any chapter with a romantic scene???
