NovelTea Tins are tea blends in tins shaped like books

A collection of tea blends from NovelTea is where the love for books meets the love for tea.

The first thing that catches the attention is that each NovelTea tin resembles a classic novel in a hardcover edition.

The cover design is not a copy of the original classic book. That would be too easy. It’s much more sophisticated. Inspired by great classic covers, these tasteful artworks are combined with clever modifications of book titles.

So, you won’t see Pride and Prejudice, although it might seem so at first glance. You’ll see Pride and Peppermint.

This ingenious balance between historical authenticity and an English sense of humor is the essence of NovelTea Tins.

There are six blends, all with tricky titles, available in NovelTea Tins online store (some are, however, out of stock):

Pride and Peppermint – organic rooibos, organic peppermint, organic chamomile,
Matcha Do About Nothing – matcha tea powder,
Oliver Lemon Twist – organic green tea, ginger root, lemongrass, lemon myrtle,
Don Quixotea – red cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper, and the root of ginger,
The Picture of Earl Grey – organic jasmine green tea, rose-blended bergamot,
War and Peach – strong white tea, chamomile, and sweet peach.

The range can be extended – also thanks to your support. If you have a clever idea for a tea and book pairing, you can share it with NovelTea team on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook.

NovelTea Tins were born thanks to Kickstarter campaign, where the creators – independent artists and tea blending experts – managed to collect over $60k from project backers.

The products that are not books but look like books will always be in fashion. We’ve already featured gorgeous bags that look like books: the one from Olde Books and Kru Kru Studio.
