Emily Dickinson was born on December 10th, 1830 and lived in a home that was central to Amherst political society thanks to her father and brothers. 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.
In 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. We created a delightful combination of jasmine tea and rose petals that brews to a light ecru cup with long green leaves and rose petal accents. This delicate tea hits you with a strong jasmine taste that's sweetened and mellowed with the subtle flavors of the rose petals.
Ingredients: Jasmine tea, rose petals, jasmine blossoms, marigold petals and blue cornflower petals. Brew tea at 195º - steep for 3 minutes
4 Ounces of loose tea makes approximately 50 cups of tea.
Please note that the photo is shown for our 4oz tin. We are also offering this in a 4oz pkg size, which will come in one of our double lined bags labeled with the name of the tea.
Check with your local bookstore for books of her poetry & recommendations for further reading.
I got this tea as a gift for my mom. It was even better than I expected. It smells and tastes like going out into a blossoming garden on a spring evening. It's wonderfully fragrant, fresh, and relaxing, and definitely evokes the beautiful imagery of Emily Dickinson. If you drink your tea sweet, honey complements this blend well.

Love this tea
I love this tea. am an author myself and I felt like when I looked at this tea it was as if Emily was telling me to buy it. I drink this when I am creating and writing. I feel Emily with me when I write and drink this. It is a wonderful tea and always revives me.

Best Jasmine Green Tea for Book Lovers
I first came across this wonderful looseleaf tea at Vroman's Bookstore in Pasadena and loved it. I've tried a lot of jasmine tea (and jasmine green tea) and this is by far my favorite. Really a nice combination of flowers (check out the coloring!) and medium caffeine in strength. Looking forward to trying the rest of the literary tea collection.

Beautiful Jasmine Garden
This tea is exactly how I would picture Emily's Dickinson's garden. Delicious Jasmine taste with floral undertones- I love all of S&V's jasmine teas and this is definitely a new favorite. Very light and refreshing on a hot day. I have enjoyed it both hot and iced.
