After a seven year period following the birth of his children in which no reliable records of his life can be found, Shakespeare reappeared in London where he began writing and acting in plays. Initially, his name was relegated to the corners of playbills, but as his productions grew in popularity, theaters began using ?written by William Shakespeare? as their main selling point. The plays and poems he produced during the thirty year period when he was writing have endured the test of time and are studied and read across the world. He pioneered many styles and structures that have set the foundations for some of western literature's greatest achievements. Shakespeare is even credited with inventing over 1700 words in the English language.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGardens, herbs, and flowers appear in many of Shakespeare's plays and oftentimes play a critical role in his stories.

He would leave the factory four years later to finish his education, but those formative years deeply affected him and inspired many of the boyhood horrors he would later write about.

Her pet rabbit, Benjamin Bouncer, served as the model for many of her early illustrations and would later inspire her most memorable creation. In 1902, her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, was published. It was based on a story she had written and illustrated for the children of a former governess, and it became immediately and immensely popular.

Her anger at this slight comes across in her poetry and letters where she explored complex ideas of meaning and self while examining the smallest details of the world around her. She withdrew herself from society and lived in relative solitude until her death. Only a few of her poems were made public during her lifetime, but four years after her demise, a collection of poems was published and met with popular and critical acclaim.

When the printing house burned down, Walt taught for five years until he decided to pursue journalism. The first edition of Leaves of Grass, a rough self-published volume of only twelve poems, was printed in 1855. Whitman would continue to revise and reprint Leaves of Grass until he died. Though his contributions to poetry are considered some of the most important in American history, Whitman did not enjoy success in his lifetime. He spent much of his life struggling to get by with only a meager clerk's wage to support himself as well as his mother and invalid brother. An 1882 edition of Leaves of Grass finally afforded him enough wealth to buy a house in Camden, New Jersey where he would work on Good-Bye, My Fancy until his death in 1892.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur Walt Whitman tea blend is inspired by his beautiful nature imagery in Leaves of Grass, especially the poems he wrote about roots and herbs. In one of his memoirs, Whitman describes a man who \"express'd a great desire for good, strong green tea.\" This blend is an earthier and more mature variation on Simpson \u0026amp; Vail's Lemon Ginger Green Tea.

However, an equally impressive contribution that Douglass made to the abolitionist movement was through photography. He believed that photographs could change people's perceptions of who African Americans really were. As a model, Douglass became the most photographed American in the 19th century sitting for 160 photographs throughout his life. In these photos, Douglass conveyed his social status, intelligence, and dignity while also sharing the wisdom of his experiences and the deep sadness for all he had endured. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDouglass played a vital role in shaping American history and we still benefit today from his beliefs on equality and inclusiveness.

Spending many of her early years touring Europe with her family, Edith was exposed to different styles of art and architecture, which would play a role in her life (as a landscape architect and designer) as well as in her writings. Throughout her 75 years, Wharton exhibited a great drive and energy towards a variety of interests. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe began her writing career at a very young age, having a volume of poetry privately published at the age of 16. Her literary accomplishments were vast and well acknowledged. She was awarded a Pulitzer Prize (for The Age of Innocence) as well as nominated three times for the Nobel Prize in Literature. She is most known today for her novels, however, she also was a published author of short stories, poetry and design. In her mid-30's Edith co-authored a successful book on design and architecture, The Decoration of Houses, and at 39, Wharton designed and built her home called The Mount in Lenox, MA with her husband. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany of Wharton's novels poke fun at the social mores of her upper class society in an intelligent and humorous manner. Tea plays an essential part in her writings as many central themes of her stories happen whilst partaking of tea. \"Lily, with the flavor of Selden's caravan tea on her lips, had no great fancy to drown it in the railway brew which seemed such nectar to her companion; but, rightly judging that one of the charms of tea is the fact of drinking it together, she proceeded to give the last touch to Mr. Gryce's enjoyment by smiling at him across her lifted cup.\" (The House of Mirth). \"Aren't you tired? It will be good to have some tea when we arrive-I'm sure the aunts have got everything beautifully ready,\" he rattled on, taking her hand in his; and her mind rushed away instantly to the magnificent tea and coffee service of Baltimore silver which the Beauforts had sent, and which \"went\" so perfectly with uncle Lovell Mingott's trays and side-dishes.

Born in 1797 to Mary Wollstonecraft (a radical writer) and William Godwin (a political philosopher), Mary Shelley enjoyed an expansive education. She met the poet Percy Shelley in 1814 when she was 16, wed him in 1816 and was a widow before she turned 25. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Shelley's traveled extensively in Europe often in the company of other writers. In the summer of 1816 the Shelley's, along with Lord Byron and a few others, were living in Lake Geneva, Italy. Bad weather prevented them from enjoying the great outdoors so Byron suggested a competition to see who could write the best ghost story. Mary's story, Frankenstein; or The Modern Prometheus, first written as a short story, would expand into a book that is still enjoyed worldwide and one that sparked a new genre of horror stories, films and plays.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTea was an essential part of Mary and Percy's daily lives and it is recorded that they favored black tea that was sweetened. After learning of the plight of slaves on sugar cane plantations they boycotted sugar and, not liking unsweetened black tea, they switched to drinking plain green tea. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince there are no references to tea in Mary's writings, the inspiration for this blend came from the green tea she enjoyed as well as popular foods and flavors found in countries they visited during the time of the writing of Frankenstein, namely blackberries and chocolate.

Her pet rabbit, Benjamin Bouncer, served as the model for many of her early illustrations and would later inspire her most memorable creation. In 1902, her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, was published.

Born in 1816, 1818 and 1820, respectively, the sisters lived very short lives, with Charlotte living the longest at 38. During their unfortunately short lifetimes, each sister produced novels that would become cornerstones of western literature and inspire studies for generations. Emily's Wuthering Heights, Charlotte's Jane Eyre, and Anne's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall each found an audience and acclaim that continues to this day. With their novels, the sisters introduced the world to a starkly honest portrayal of English womanhood that didn't hide the ugliness and intrigue many novels of the time shied away from. Although tame by today's standards, their inclusion of independent female characters, alcoholism, and abuse meant that the Bronte's novels faced their share of controversy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Bronte family kept an orchard and garden where the sisters spent much of their time exploring, drawing, and writing. Charlotte was more inclined to draw the flowers and the plants than to stop and smell them, but Anne and Emily were happy to get their hands dirty with a little gardening. Emily especially, who was known to be a bit of a recluse, could often be found taking long walks and enjoying nature.

Spending many of her early years touring Europe with her family, Edith was exposed to different styles of art and architecture, which would play a role in her life (as a landscape architect and designer) as well as in her writings. Throughout her 75 years, Wharton exhibited a great drive and energy towards a variety of interests. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe began her writing career at a very young age, having a volume of poetry privately published at the age of 16. Her literary accomplishments were vast and well acknowledged. She was awarded a Pulitzer Prize (for The Age of Innocence) as well as nominated three times for the Nobel Prize in Literature. She is most known today for her novels, however, she also was a published author of short stories, poetry and design. In her mid-30's Edith co-authored a successful book on design and architecture, The Decoration of Houses, and at 39, Wharton designed and built her home called The Mount in Lenox, MA with her husband. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany of Wharton's novels poke fun at the social mores of her upper class society in an intelligent and humorous manner. Tea plays an essential part in her writings as many central themes of her stories happen whilst partaking of tea. \"Lily, with the flavor of Selden's caravan tea on her lips, had no great fancy to drown it in the railway brew which seemed such nectar to her companion; but, rightly judging that one of the charms of tea is the fact of drinking it together, she proceeded to give the last touch to Mr. Gryce's enjoyment by smiling at him across her lifted cup.\" (The House of Mirth). \"Aren't you tired? It will be good to have some tea when we arrive-I'm sure the aunts have got everything beautifully ready,\" he rattled on, taking her hand in his; and her mind rushed away instantly to the magnificent tea and coffee service of Baltimore silver which the Beauforts had sent, and which \"went\" so perfectly with uncle Lovell Mingott's trays and side-dishes.

Growing up around powerful men prepared Dickinson for a life of the same, but society dictated that, as a woman, she was relegated to seemingly less meaningful ventures. Her anger at this slight comes across in her poetry and letters where she explored complex ideas of meaning and self while examining the smallest details of the world around her. She withdrew herself from society and lived in relative solitude until her death. Only a few of her poems were made public during her lifetime, but four years after her demise, a collection of poems was published and met with popular and critical acclaim. Her poems reveal a complicated mind that examined itself with as much attention to detail as it examined the world. Dickinson's defiance of categorization and simplification make her a popular poet to study even today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the years she spent away from society, Emily Dickinson cultivated an extensive garden. In it, she grew jasmine flowers, cornflowers, roses, and many other flowers, plants and herbs. These flowers appear repeatedly in her poetry so our blend had to be floral.

After receiving her primary education at boarding school, Jane returned home where she and her older sister Cassandra would spend long hours in their father's library reading the classics and writing their own stories. Jane had a close relationship with her father and he encouraged her creativity by supplying her with the paper and writing utensils she desired. In 1811, Jane's first novel Sense and Sensibility was published and met with immediate success. Jane Austen's novels illuminate the everyday lives of young women in the early 19th century and blend contemplative pastoral prose with witty banter and intriguing romance plots. Besides writing, she was an avid gardener who tended to her own plants late into her life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe delicate prose of Jane Austen's novels is evoked in this blend that combines spearmint with a gentle touch of vanilla. Lavender flowers, which look lovely in both the cup and the gardens around Jane Austen's estate, add a sweet floral taste that complements the mint and vanilla wonderfully. This blend captures the color and joy of Austen's characters while taking inspiration from the herbs and flowers she cultivated in her own garden.

Born in 1797 to Mary Wollstonecraft (a radical writer) and William Godwin (a political philosopher), Mary Shelley enjoyed an expansive education. She met the poet Percy Shelley in 1814 when she was 16, wed him in 1816 and was a widow before she turned 25. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Shelley's traveled extensively in Europe often in the company of other writers. In the summer of 1816 the Shelley's, along with Lord Byron and a few others, were living in Lake Geneva, Italy. Bad weather prevented them from enjoying the great outdoors so Byron suggested a competition to see who could write the best ghost story. Mary's story, Frankenstein; or The Modern Prometheus, first written as a short story, would expand into a book that is still enjoyed worldwide and one that sparked a new genre of horror stories, films and plays.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTea was an essential part of Mary and Percy's daily lives and it is recorded that they favored black tea that was sweetened. After learning of the plight of slaves on sugar cane plantations they boycotted sugar and, not liking unsweetened black tea, they switched to drinking plain green tea. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince there are no references to tea in Mary's writings, the inspiration for this blend came from the green tea she enjoyed as well as popular foods and flavors found in countries they visited during the time of the writing of Frankenstein, namely blackberries and chocolate.

He was introduced to the written word at the age of 12 when he began working as a printer's apprentice. There, he taught himself to read and devoured the classics. When the printing house burned down, Walt taught for five years until he decided to pursue journalism. The first edition of Leaves of Grass, a rough self-published volume of only twelve poems, was printed in 1855. Whitman would continue to revise and reprint Leaves of Grass until he died. Though his contributions to poetry are considered some of the most important in American history, Whitman did not enjoy success in his lifetime. He spent much of his life struggling to get by with only a meager clerk's wage to support himself as well as his mother and invalid brother. An 1882 edition of Leaves of Grass finally afforded him enough wealth to buy a house in Camden, New Jersey where he would work on Good-Bye, My Fancy until his death in 1892.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur Walt Whitman tea blend is inspired by his beautiful nature imagery in Leaves of Grass, especially the poems he wrote about roots and herbs.

After a seven year period following the birth of his children in which no reliable records of his life can be found, Shakespeare reappeared in London where he began writing and acting in plays. Initially, his name was relegated to the corners of playbills, but as his productions grew in popularity, theaters began using ?written by William Shakespeare? as their main selling point. The plays and poems he produced during the thirty year period when he was writing have endured the test of time and are studied and read across the world. He pioneered many styles and structures that have set the foundations for some of western literature's greatest achievements. Shakespeare is even credited with inventing over 1700 words in the English language.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGardens, herbs, and flowers appear in many of Shakespeare's plays and oftentimes play a critical role in his stories. Our William Shakespeare tea blend is a combination of a few of the many herbs he references: lavender, roses, rosemary. The wit and playfulness of his verse means that Shakespeare's plays can still be enjoyed today, ideally with a warm cup of tea.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis black tea and floral blend brews to an amber cup with a sweet, floral taste.

The blend has a smoky, fruity aroma and brews to a mahogany cup that has a cherry forward taste with a lingering smoky bourbon taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo put on the kettle, grab your cape and your deerstalker hat and find a comfortable place to enjoy a cup of Doyle’s tea while enjoying one of the many stories he wrote for our pleasure. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black teas, Lapsang Souchong black tea, hibiscus, natural and artificial wild cherry and whiskey bourbon flavors, and orange blossoms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrew tea at 212º - steep for 3 minutes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 Ounces of loose tea makes approximately 50 cups of tea. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlease note that the photo is shown for our 4oz tin.
