Tea and Books, “Raven Black” by Ann Cleeves

Tea and books make the most logical pairing! If you’re a tea lover like us, there’s a good chance you’re a book lover too. We’d love to share our recommendations, and also hear your thoughts on tea and books that go together.

In “Raven Black”, by Ann Cleeves, Jimmy Perez (@DouglasHenshall) solves crime by drinking a cup of tea every other page. We pair this mystery with our Milky Black, with rich creamy notes to keep the island chill at bay.

The TV series #Shetland is based on this book and subsequent mysteries that follow it. It takes place in the windblown Shetland islands, north of Scotland. The archipelago islands are the northernmost region of the United Kingdom. Intrigue and stark landscapes await you with this book.

Our Milky Black is sourced from China and offers a creamy, rich cup, not unlike a cup of tea with milk added to it. This tea is a favorite among many who like that hint of velvet and butter. Along the same line, we carry a Milk Oolong with a loyal following, sourced from a tea farm in Taiwan.

Buy Milky Black Tea and settle in with one of your favorite books!

I had a friend share some of their instant golden latte mix with me and it is amazing. I suffer from really bad inflammation in my hands and this calms it down so well. It is also very delicious so I just had to get some of my own. They also sent me some stickers, a nice note and a sample. It was so sweet. My cat definitely approves. Thank you!

Best store in Montana possibly in all of the United States. I don't know. This is the first Gong Fu tea shop I've ever been to. I came in for a matcha whisk because I donated mine to a museum. Before I left a random customer who was introduced to me as a regular bought me tea. I hugged him which isn't something I normally do. But I was incredibly thankful. Then the man behind the counter gave me a free sample. I went in looking for a simple tool and left with tea and a happy spirit. I am looking forward to making it back as soon as possible! I loved it. I think it will always hold a special place in my blood pumping organ.

I've been going to Lake Missoula Tea Company for years, and recently have had the privilege of putting some of their tea in my store. The quality of the tea is fantastic, and the blends are delightful. I have also attended one of their tasting / learning events and it was great. I highly recommend their downtown store for meeting with friends, family or even just for a nice place to go and have a cup of perfectly brewed tea.
