The Dutch House

 

Ann Patchett’s The Dutch House follows a brother and sister and the house that has a hold on them. They are drawn back throughout their lives stuck in their past unable to move on with their lives.

Whew. This was a serious one. Called for serious tea- Shelly went with Old Town Licorice from Winter Woods Tea Company and Candy went to her garden and sun brewed some Lemon Balm tea (good for depression).

The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul

 

Oh my gosh! Douglas Adams book featuring Dirk Gently, a desperate, settling sad sack of a woman and a host of Viking gods entwined in a murder mystery and what’s with the Coke machine????

We looked to the Norse for our teas- Candy drinks the blood of her enemies -not really- it’s just Nordic Red Tea from Sönnungr and Shelly enjoyed August Uncommon Tea’s

Psycho Candy.

Magic Lessons

 

We were enthralled with Alice Hoffman’s Magic Lessons.

Part of the Practical Magic series and the first in the epic tale of Maria Owens, the witch that started it all.

We paired this wonderful book with Courage Tea from The Bohemian Tea Peddler. Holli P. is truly magical!

“By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes” Shakespeare

You can’t get something from nothing, but from this carnival you get nothing for something. Arriving in the dead of night, strange things become happening to people of the town.

Join us to listen in on our thoughts and teas for Something Wicked This Way Comes.

Our teas are from August Uncommon Teas (Jet Black) and David’s Tea (Butterscotch Chai).

The Witches of New York

 

Welcome to The Perfect Blend! Our very first episode features Ami McKay’s book The Witches of New York. We are taking it back to the 1800’s and visiting three witches learning how to use their powers individually and together to fight the evils that abound in New York City.

We paired our first book with teas from a shop with the same name as the store the witches owned in the book.

Tea and Sympathy offers some wonderful teas and surprisingly exists about 7 miles from where the witch’s shop took place in the book.
