From Simpson & Vail

Since there are no references to tea in Mary’s writings, the inspiration for this blend came from the green tea she enjoyed as well as popular foods and flavors found in countries they visited during the time of the writing of Frankenstein, namely blackberries and chocolate. We incorporated both into this green tea blend and added sweet blackberry leaf as a nod to Mary’s sweet tooth.

This heavenly blend brews up to a golden color with a sweet fruit taste and an undertone of chocolate that will elevate your taste buds. Inspired by Shelley’s eloquent words in Frankenstein, “I feel my heart glow with an enthusiasm which elevates me to heaven?”.

Ingredients: Green tea, (organic) cacao nibs, sweet blackberry leaf, chocolate flavor, and blackberry flavor.

I’m not sure that I’ve read Frankenstein. I know the story and have seen movies but I may have to put the novel on my list. This tea seemed appropriate for the spooky season.

I steeped the tea at 175 for close to 3 minutes to avoid bitterness. I had read that others made the mistake of steeping at higher temps. It’s a pretty golden color. The aroma is very artificial to me. I think it’s the addition of cacao and chocolate flavoring. I want a stronger blackberry taste.

I listened to the audiobook on YouTube! Not a favorite, but it’s interesting to see how all the different media portrayals vary from the original.
