It is just that one can’t help but wonder why a book about a young girl who moves from India to Yorkshire has inspired a blend of Chinese tea and somewhat exotic flavours, rather than the more logical-seeming choice of Indian tea and things that would grow in a garden in the north of England (although they definitely would have had roses to be fair). I have it on authority from A Tale of Two Teas’ originator, owner and tea librarian herself that the teas are “inspired by the mood and feel of things rather than anything historically accurate”. And look, I don’t want to bang on too much about the rationale behind each blend. Secret Garden is a blend of Pai Mu Tan white tea, rose petals, jasmine petals, cranberry pieces and pomegranate flavouring. It’s an admirable ambition, and I love that they are doing it. A Tale of Two Tea’s mission is to smurge together a love of tea and a love of books into a variety of tasty book-based blends. You may recall that I got very excited about Mr Darcy tea a couple of weeks ago. This one is inspired by Frances Hodgson Burnett’s The Secret Garden. This is the second tea I’ve tried from A Tale of Two Teas’ Classic Collection. ![]() If you click on an Amazon link from this page and make a purchase, I will – at no cost to you – earn a small commission.
