The Whistling Kettle Book Club

For the month of September, we're reading The Good Daughter by Karin Slaughter and pairing it with our Pumpkin Cheesecake tea.

A searing blend of cold-case thriller and psychological suspense. “The Good Daughter is like Law and Order meets The Good Wife.” -theSkimm

One of our returning seasonal favorites, Pumpkin Cheesecake is a caffeine-free rooibos with nutmeg, cinnamon, white chocolate, and pumpkin. A perfect tea to cozy up with a great suspenseful novel and get cuddly in a blanket as we switch into a new season.

For the month of August, we're reading Fairy Tale by Stephen King and pairing it with our Mojito tea.

A spellbinding novel about a seventeen-year-old boy who inherits the keys to a parallel world where good and evil are at ware, and the stakes could not be higher – for that world or ours. 

Our Mojito tea is the perfect summer thirst quencher. A combination of black tea and rooibos, a dash of coconut and lemon peel. We love drinking it iced, but it’s yummy made hot too!

For the month of July, we're reading Into The Water by Paula Hawkins and pairing it with our Blood Orange fruit tisane tea.

An addictive novel of psychological suspense by the author of The Girl on The Train.

Okay so maybe we did choose BLOOD ORANGE just because this book has people getting murdered.... but this tea is the perfect accompaniment and a thirst quencher when brewed as an iced tea. We especially love to add a little simple syrup or splash of lemonade. You could even pour a little vodka and make it into a cocktail!

The Wager is a mesmerizing story of shipwreck, mutiny, and murder, culminating in a court martial that reveals a shocking truth. 

While you read The Wager, sip on English Evening, a softer and lighter blend compared to our English Breakfast tea. 

A Mexican bookseller, Lydia Perez, is forced to flee as an illegal immigrant to the USA, along with her son, after her journalist husband exposes a local drug kingpin. Instantly transformed from comfortable middle-class into migrants, Lydia realizes everyone is running from something. American Dirt will leave readers utterly changed with this page-turner filled with poignancy, drama, and humanity on every page.

Chocolate Chai is a decadent, chocolate-drenched chai blend with real cocoa beans. The rich dark chocolate flavor, while ginger, cinnamon, and cardamom add a spicy warmth. Make a point to try this chai both hot and iced with your choice of frothed dairy and sweetener.

April's pairing brings together our Lavender Earl Grey with The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah.

A story of two sisters, separated by years and experience, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France – a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of human spirit and the durability of women.

French lavender adorns this popular British Earl Grey with an aromatic infusion of deliciousness. Citrusy bergamot only tastes better with lavender.

This month we're excited to share The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane, by Lisa See.

A moving novel about tradition, tea farming and the bonds between mothers and daughters. A powerful story about circumstances, culture, and distance… paints an unforgettable portrait of a little-known region and its people and celebrates the bond of family. 

While reading this story about ancient Pu-erh trees and their prized, sought after flavor… imbibe with one of our bestselling flavored Pu-erhs, with the traditional deep earthy tea base softened with mouth-watering notes of caramel and butterscotch.
