My name is Katie. If I were a book, I would be something in the sub-madeup-genre "Quirky Fiction" (which includes books like "The Eyre Affair", "St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves", and "The Elegance of the Hedgehog"). If I were a tea, I would be something minty and refreshing. If I were a person, I would be a high school senior with a fondness for everything listed above.
With a roof over my head, a college acceptance letter in hand, and no bills to pay for at least another four years, I have few things to worry about. One of the things I do worry about is the matching of books with tea. Have you ever tried to read an Agatha Christie novel while drinking chamomile tea? It ruins the whole experience. Ditto for "My Antonia" with ginger, or "Catch-22" with chai.
After having ruined my enjoyment of "Ender's Game" by trying to mix it with green tea, I realized I had to do something. I had found my calling. I would find the perfect tea to accompany each book I gave a darn about, and I would share this information with the world.
World, you're welcome.

Katie,
ReplyDeleteThank you for pretty much saving the world with this quest. I shall read this every day to find out what tea to drink with what book. You've changed my life in more ways than one. If you were a fish, you'd be a kipper.
Sincerely,
Edwina "I'll Say There's A Hole In Your Bucket" Ogg
