So you like refreshing, bright, and bittersweet? We know what might suit you.

This fragrant tea may take some time to open up as it brews, but when it does, it releases a flavor that is sweet and surprising. This sounds an awful lot like the way the story unfolds in How to Hang a Witch by Adrianna Mather. When Samantha Mather moves to Salem, Massachusetts she is not exactly welcomed with open arms. She is a descendant of Cotton Mather who was responsible for the Salem with trials, and she soon discovers that she is at the center of a centuries-old curse affecting anyone with ties to the trials. While your tea steeps, you’ll love watching this mystery unfurl.
