Introducing...

After months of preparation and a few teaser posts on social media, I am beyond excited to finally be able to introduce the NovelTea Classic Boxes.

Our monthly subscription parcels ship as large envelopes to keep shipping costs low. This has provided me with a creative challenge each month as I source books and items to meet the size and weight restrictions that come with envelope shipping. There are so many items and amazing Australian small businesses that I would love to feature in the monthly subscription, but they just don’t fit!

Enter… NovelTea Classic Boxes.

A premium option that would make the perfect gift for any Australian book lover (or why not treat yourself?). These boxes will be limited edition, themed around a beautiful hardcover Penguin Clothbound Classic. Each will included a whole box of loose leaf tea (not just a sample!), a loose leaf tea infuser, and 2-3 other bookish treats that I’ve always wanted to share with you all. Think candles, tote bags, jewellery, cushion covers, mugs as well as exclusive bookmarks and art prints… Can you see why I’m excited?

These gift boxes are one-off purchases, rather than a subscription. But like the subscription parcels, you can expect curated, high quality items, lovingly selected and hand-wrapped. Each box will also include a card with information about each of the items and the small businesses I’ve worked with.

Again, these boxes will be limited edition. They take more time and planning to put together, so at this stage there’s no release schedule. Sign up to the newsletter to be the first to find out when new boxes are on their way!
