A Summer Reading Moment

There are few things better than tea and a good book. Whether it's in the cold winter months, curled up on the couch with a contemplative cup of oolong and a character-rich novel or lounging poolside with a tall, cold apricot-infused iced tea and a light-hearted whodunnit. Whatever the occasion, tea and reading are like peas and carrots.


That's why I am so in love with The Arbor Teas Summer Reading Series!  With a nod to the popular serial novels in decades past, Arbor Teas has enlisted author Lauren Doyle Owens to write an original novel, The Wintree Waltz, that is being released one chapter at a time, week after week over the course of the summer.  It began June 2nd and will continue through August 4th. (Chapter 2 is released tomorrow!!!) Subscribers can receive notification of the release of each chapter.

Over the summer, we'll be getting to know the Wintree family just two months before Jean Wintree is to be married to John Birnbauer. When her younger sister Erin, John’s mother Nancy, and a surprising interloper start to meddle in the couple’s plans, a happy ending is far from certain.

As a voracious reader, I'm on the edge of my seat to see what Jean, and for that matter, Erin, is going to do next! I love that the story is set in Ann Arbor (home of Arbor Teas!), and that while the story line itself is not about tea, the tradition and comfort of teas is seamlessly interwoven into the Wintree family's daily lives. 

Join me as I get to know the Wintrees and Arbor Teas. The first taste definitely leaves me wanting another.
