Pu'er Rabbit joins Noveltea Tins for our Third Kickstarter
over 6 years ago – Fri, Sep 01, 2017 at 12:00:40 AM

 

 We're expanding the tea library.

In two weeks time we launch our third Kickstarter, featuring three new Noveltea Tins and a Second Edition of an old favorite. 

The new titles Pu'er Rabbit, Anise in Wonderland, and Pekoe Pan will be made in the same size and format as the British Collection so they'll look splendid next to each other on your shelf. 

Anise in Wonderland will be illustrated by Julia Glushchuk (War and Peach, Pippi Oolongstocking)

Each new tin will feature art on the back as well. Here's the Mad Hatter's headgear for the back of Anise in Wonderland.

Better yet; we'll also have a "reprint" of 'The Picture of Earl Grey" - The first of our Original Collection Noveltea Tins to be remade in the new size and with an embossed cover. This second edition will also feature a new and improved spine.

And our crowdfunding exclusive, Pippi Oolongstocking, will be made available again, in case you'd like to complete your collection. There are even rumors that 'Anne of Green Tea Gables' might appear this round. And, of course, 'Pride and Peppermint', 'Oliver Lemon Twist' and 'Matcha Do About Nothing' will be available as part of one of our larger rewards.

 

Pippi Oolongstocking returns to Kickstarter in two weeks!

POURING OVER, DOWN UNDER

We'll be honest; we'd never heard of frankie magazine before, but since our feature there we've been flooded with requests from down under. Do you know any store owners or distributors in Australia? Shoot us an email at contact at novelteatins dot com.

This shot was in Australia, but it's from the previous Kickstarter. Are you an Australia backer? We'd love to see the tins in Australia!

NOVELTEAS IN PAPERBACK!

On Saturday, April 1st, we are set to launch the first ever NovelTeas Paperback Edition on Indiegogo. This is a new version of our British Collection tea blends; with beautiful, heavy paper cartons, resealable tea pouches and more goodies. It's a fun, new way of gifting delicious teas and of course enhancing the Tins, as these Paperbacks double as handsome Tea Tin inserts.

OH, RIGHT.. THE SNEAK PEEK!

If you've followed us on Instagram you might have caught some glimpses of what we're brewing on when we're not working on reward fulfillment. We've hired both Julia Glushchuk (War and Peach, Pippi Oolongstocking) and Lily Jones (Pride and Peppermint) to illustrate our next blends. Anne of Green Tea Gables will be available as a blend in the near future.
