Tea and books; they're a perfect pair are they not?! I know it's true, you know it's true, and Novel Tea Tins does too. (Hey, that rhymes.) Novel Tea Tins is an awesome company that makes literary-inspired tea that comes in book-shaped tins with art designed by independent artists. Pretty cool, right?
They currently have a Kickstarter campaign going on to make three new teas and it's ending in a few days! Back the campaign to help them create new teas called Pride and Peppermint (that's the one I'm getting!), Matcha Do About Nothing, and Oliver Lemon Twist. Their current teas for sale are Don QuixoTea (a chai tea), The Picture of Earl Grey, and War and Peach.
Let's get inspired by their bookish tea and tins, shall we?

Pride and Peppermint
Pride and Peppermint is based on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. It's one of the Kickstarter teas and it has organic peppermint and chamomile, and the design is based on Regency tea sets. How pretty is this book tin?!
For a party vibe, go for a blue and white dress, a teacup watch, and nude heels. Or instead wear something more casual: a blue chambray top, white jeans, a teacup necklace and teacup earrings, and mint-colored flats.

Don QuixoTea
Don QuixoTea is based on Miguel Cervantes' Don Quixote of La Mancha. It's a blend of traditional chai spices: red cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper, and ginger root. It's the very first tea Novel Tea Tins created.
Go for a cute, casual outfit of a red off-the-shoulder top, distressed denim, blue earrings, and black booties. Or instead wear a beige blazer, a leaf-print top, burgundy jeans, and beige booties.

The Picture of Earl Grey
The Picture of Earl Grey is based on Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Grey. This delicious sounding tea is a blend of organic jasmine green tea and rose-blended Calabrian Bergamot. And you have to take a peek at the tea because it's really pretty!
Nothing better than adding a little British schoolboy flair to your outfits: put on a navy blazer, a striped sweater, black jeans, and black oxford flats. Or instead throw on a blue chambray dress, a blue bracelet, beige oxfords, and a "You're so foxy" phone case.

War and Peach
War and Peach is based on L.N. Tolstoy's War and Peace and it's a summery tea of white tea, peach, and chamomile. I love peach tea, so I definitely want to get my hands on this soon!
Navy and orange are a perfect summer match, so put on a brocade blue dress, orange bracelet, and orange wedges. Or instead for a more casual look wear a navy romper, an orange necklace, a gold bracelet, and orange flats.
