Abbie @ab_reads curated a selection of books for Babingtons Blends to coincide with our Curiositea theme

Looking for some literary inspiration?

We partnered with the wonderful Abbie @ab_reads, book lover and baking enthusiast, to recommend a few October books to coincide with our monthly Curiositea theme.

Abi's curiosiTEA is queer historical fiction since we don’t see as many queer folk in historical fiction. For Abbie, Sarah Waters is the queen of lesbian, Victoriana fiction. Fingersmith is by far her favourite and she's planning on reading The Paying Guests this month.

Taking time out for yourself helps to ensure your overall wellness whilst you expand your mind and imagination. Get baking, pour some Babbingtons 'African Nights' South African Rooibos tea and fall into a comfy sofa whilst you indulge your mind, body and soul.

We can all get used to our favourites but why not try something new!

We have a delicious selection of blends to choose from including black, green and herbal.

@ab_reads enjoyed our two teas of the month including our delicious 'African Nights' South African Rooibos tea. Scented naturally with lemon myrtle, hibiscus, orange peel and almond natural flavouring, you can’t help falling in love with its creamy, sweet flavour. And the good news is, it's all natural and super healthy.

The red fruits and almonds, mixed in with the popular Rooibos little red needles, gift you with a creamy and intense herbal tea, which is delicious both hot and iced. Delicious for you or as a gift..

When was the last time you tried a new tea?
