2. Bye Bye Bloat Tea + The Throne of Glass Series

After a hearty fall dinner, there’s nothing better than winding down with a minty, digestion-supporting cup of Bye Bye Bloat Tea and diving into the enchanting world of the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J Maas. With hints of ginger, cardamom, and anise, Bye Bye Bloat Tea feels like a cozy fall hug for your tummy, while the book whisks you into a realm of nonstop adventure, magic, and unforgettable characters.

3. Evening Cortisol Tea + The Ex Hex & The Kiss Curse

If witchy romance is your fall vibe, you’ll want this pairing on repeat. Evening Cortisol Tea helps calm your system, ease stress, and prepare you for restful sleep, perfect while diving into The Ex Hex or The Kiss Curse.

✨ For extra magic, turn your tea into a nighttime mocktail: add tart cherry juice, a splash of sparkling water, and garnish with lavender. Witchy, fun, and functional.

 

4. Liver Cleanse Tea + Coraline

Classic book, classic tea. Liver Cleanse Tea has notes of coffee, chocolate, and vanilla making it the perfect caffeine-free swap when that late-afternoon coffee craving hits. Pair it with Neil Gaiman’s Coraline, which is delightfully eerie (and yes, the book is better than the movie).

5. Detox Chai + The Lives of the Mayfair Witches

✨ Pair it with this black tea tumbler with a built-in infuser.

 

6. Bulletproof Breakfast Tea + Dragonwell Dead

Start your fall mornings with a little mystery. Dragonwell Dead combines small-town charm with a whodunit twist, a classic cozy fall book. Pair it with Bulletproof Breakfast Blend, a rich black tea infused with dark chocolate and coconut to keep your energy stable while you read.

✨ Pro tip: Froth some milk, drizzle honey, and sprinkle pumpkin spice on top for the ultimate fall latte moment.
