Simpson Vail Tea's Literary Tea Collection has a few delicious blends to get you through spooky season, and beyond!
I am so excited to #partner with Simpson Vail Tea @svtea to bring you some of the teas from their Literary Tea Collection that are perfect for spooky season!
Today, I'm bringing you Edgar Allen Poe's Black Tea Blend, a dark, earthy blend of black and pu-erh tea, smoky lapsing souchong, bergamot oil, and beetroot, which turns the brewed tea a deep blood red! This unique, rich, boldly flavored tea pairs well with Poe's work, a mystery, or whatever else is on your Fall tbr!
I love the tins the literary teas come in! This one features a raven and looks great in my kitchen, displayed with my Halloween decor!
If you've been following me for long, you know I drink a lot of Simpson Vail tea and pair it here frequently! Simpson Vail Tea has been around since 1929 and is one of my go-to tea companies because I always know their quality and service will be top-notch.

A green clothbound set of The Works of Edgar Allen Poe is pictured here. This set was published in 1921 and once belonged to my grandfather, so it is very special to me.
