 Detailed Description
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.

Certified Kosher

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.

Best Jasmine Green Tea for Book Lovers
11/13/2020
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.

Delightful tea

Beautiful to look at and refreshing to taste, this tea is wonderful to sip while enjoying a good book or simply gazing out a window.

This tea makes a great gift. It is beautiful to behold and delicious to drink, and it smells like a flower garden. I find it very soothing on a busy day.

Beautiful Jasmine Garden
6/15/2020
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.

Jasmine and roses at night
5/14/2020
Do you like jasmine tea? Do you like Earl Grey tea? You will like this. I don't like those things, so I don't like this tea. It's flowery. Real flowery. This is almost what I thought William Shakespeare's tea should have tasted like, very roses. This tea smells like it tastes, like jasmine and roses at night.

Soothing and delicious
5/10/2020
This is my first Jasmine tea purchase from Simpson & Vail, and I love it. It looks and smells so beautiful. Like others mentioned it, smelling and tasting the tea is a soothing experience. I think it has a perfect Jasmine taste, flowery and strong.

Flowery

This tea does indeed taste like Dickenson, pale, flowery, but complex. Nice for relaxing, but not boring.

Delightful and Callming
12/29/2018
This lovely tea has become my daily early morning ritual. The tea itself is a visual delight, and as you inhale the dry leaves and flower petals, you feel as you've stepped into an enchanted flower garden. I love jasmine tea, but the rose petals, jasmine blossoms take this tea to a new level... Superb!

Great tea when you are stressed
12/13/2018
This is my go-to tea whenever I'm stressed out. Something about the tea's flavor and scent is very calming. I like to drink it at the end of a stressful day to wind down.
 
Like drinking a garden
6/21/2017
This is my go-to for late morning! Its beautiful in a glass teapot and has a lovely, light, floral taste. Its not too heavy on the jasmine either -- more balanced.

Beautiful

A lovely light, floral jasmine tea. Its as wonderful to smell as it is to taste. I enjoy it with a bit of dark honey.
