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 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.
