Didn’t know what I was getting myself into when I chose this one. It is a sample from a friend. Mr. Poe, if you were alive today I wonder if this would be your tea of choice? Based on his work one would think a dark, earthy, and thought-provoking blend such as this would be exactly the thing but I feel he would surprise us with a white tea or some such. For those who are fans of his ‘darker’ works, this will quench your thirst while adding a 4th dimension to his story. I personally do not like Lapsang but I appreciate that the pu erh stands out enough to tame it a bit. Every tea deserves a try, even if it has an ingredient you don’t fancy. I’ve decided not to give it a rating since Lapsang isn’t my thing.

That’s a fun idea, matching authors or other famous historical figures with the teas they might have enjoyed. I don’t know much about Edgar Allen Poe as a person, but it sounds like this blend would be perfect while reading one of his stories. I really love this descriptive note!
I’ve always been sad that S&V doesn’t offer ALL their author blends in sampler sizes. As a librarian, I’d totally try them all if they did, but I have no interest in 4 oz. tins.
I thought about getting the literary sampler with my order, but I already had so many other things and it didn’t make the cut this time. :P
But even the literary sampler doesn’t include all the author blends in it. :-(
If my sampler was fresh, I would totally send you some samples of them! But like you said, not all of the literary teas are included… which S&V should really remedy.
It’s odd that they don’t offer the literary and National Parks teas in 2-ounce pouches…
