The Bookish Mindset

I bet you’ve been wondering which autumnal Bird & Blend tea would pair perfectly with a book. Because why wouldn’t you? A tasty book needs a tasty pairing.

Bird & Blend are a B-Corp which means they do good stuff as well as tasting amazing. It’s my go to for teas and matcha and I think you’re going to love them too. You can find everything from the article and more through my affiliate link here.

Tap on the titles to get more info from Bookshop.org and to support my work.

Earl Grey Creme. A classic for a reason, a floral and slightly sweet black tea. A book that absolutely should be considered a modern classic and I need everyone to read is The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, trust me and read it.

Gingerbread Chai. A rooibos base with delightful spice, this is one of my favourites and perfect as a latte. This has to be a romance, so I’m choosing Sweet Heat by Bolu Babalola, a second chance romance with so much depth.

Spiced Pumpkin Pie. Is there a better autumn tea? I think not. Autumn is definitely time for fantasy and whimsy, so I’ll pair this tea with Kimberly Lemming’s That Time I Got Drunk and Saved A Demon.

Baby Spice. Caffeine free with all of the spice and flavour of a chai. This reminds me of a YA romance and I’ve recently loved Rebel Hearts by Tanya Bryne, enjoy!

Toasted Apple Tea. The perfect green tea for this weather: sweet and nutty with popcorn pieces. It’s delicate and feels like hope, I’d match this with the heartfelt All the Tomorrows After by Joanne Yi.

Bonfire Toffee. It wouldn’t be an autumnal list without this one. A smoky black tea with hints of sweet spice. If we’re talking bonfire and gunpowder, it has to be Elle Machray’s Remember, Remember.
