Hobbit Tea: Coming to a Tower Near You

28 May 2010

Seven Mennonite and Amish entrepreneurs are mixing and promoting a new line of tea that they have created called, Hobbit Tea. The teas are created from tea, fruit, and herbs and so far they have three blends.

Bilbo Baggins Breakfast Blend
Gandalf the Gray Tea
Hobbiton Meadow Mint

Hobbit lore is alive and well in Dalton, Ohio. Dan Tropea is a 31 year old Mennonite farmer who applied for and acquired a license from Middle Earth Enterprises, the company that holds all of the rights to Tolkien’s works. Tropean enjoyed the books and feels that his hometown is not so different from Middle Earth, what with all of the farms, rolling hills, and fences. He feels that the books have some important lessons in them.

You can find out more about Hobbit Teas at the website.

I am going to have to try these… I am a Tolkien fan from before it was cool to be a Tolkien fan!
