5 Reasons You'll Love Your Box

  1. 1

    A new destination every season

    One place in the world, packed into one box: stories set there, tea that tastes of it, and a charm to remember it by.

  2. 2

    Stories you won't find anywhere else

    Every book is written by the two of us, set in the season's destination and made for this box alone.

  3. 3

    An evening away, whenever you like

    No flights, no packing, no time off to request. Pour the tea, open the book, and you're somewhere else.

  4. 4

    Little rituals to collect

    A bookmark and a new charm every season, so your shelf slowly becomes a map of everywhere you've been.

  5. 5

    Easy to love, easy to manage

    Skip, pause or cancel from your account whenever you need to.

Our story

Stories We Dreamed Up Along the Way

Every book in the box is written by the two of us. The love stories begin in places we've been, or still dream of going. The nonfiction comes from sitting down with the people who call each place home.
