I'm blending your favorite books with tea tins; help me pick tea types to fit the novels?

Hi Steepsters (and undercover Redditors)! First of all I wanted to thank everyone that have supported our Kickstarter campaign so far! Our ‘company’, NovelTeas make tea tins shaped as books. Then we match tea flavors with the novel for the ultimate novelty gift for book and tea lovers.

My friends have been doing the matching so far, but we’re looking to add more titles to our library. personally I’m a tea drinker and Art Director first. Literary novice second. And since Mitch & John are busy with production of the current tins, it’s my job to help them decide what tins we should make after we’re done with the current ones. And that’s where you come in: We’d LOVE your suggestions on what tins to make next!

Currently our titles and teas are:

War and Peach – Organic peach chunks search for fulfillment in the bold brace of a strong white tea, grasping for patience with pineapple, serenity with chamomile, and purpose in the sunflower.

Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Earl Grey – Organic jasmine and a rose-blended Calabrian bergamot radiate hedonism and wait for your reflections, eternally.

Don QuixoTea – Exceedingly idealistic, our Man of La ManChai pours an adventurous brew of traditional chai spices — red cinnamon, cardamon, black pepper and root of ginger. All do well alone or with a spoon full of sugar.

A few of the titles we’re thinking of next include:
Crime & PunishMint
Rooiboson Crusoe
Pippi Oolongstocking
Anne of Green Tea Gables
Nancy Brew
English Breakfast at Tiffany’s
The Tea Musketeers
Jane Pear

We’d also love to hear from you if you make tea accessories we could use for Add Ons or Stretch Goals! Or maybe you’re about to launch your own Tea Kickstarter and would like some help.

Harrison Bergamot? I don’t understand this one.

It’s a dystopian citrus blend by Kurt Vonnegut

Harrison Bergamot – I like that one.

Mugger is referring to the short story Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut: http://www.tnellen.com/cybereng/harrison.html

(The suggestion is clever, but doesn’t really fit in with the more “classic” titles suggested elsewhere.)

Ooh, I’ve been a big fan of the ‘20,000 Leagues Under the Tea’ title, but Leaves… I like Leaves!

Pretty much all of those are gold, except for Calico Honeybush. I don’t really get that one.

“Calico Bush” won a Newbury Honor Award in 1932. It’s YA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calico_Bush_%28novel%29
