As autumn settles over Banff and the crisp air carries the scent of fallen leaves, there’s no better way to spend an evening than curled up with a cozy blanket, a steaming cup of tea, and a perfectly spooky movie.
Here are our favourite Halloween movie and tea pairings for a perfectly witchy, warming night in.
1. “Hocus Pocus” + Masala Chai : Nostalgic, spiced, full of fun
This 90s cult classic featuring the Sanderson sisters is pure Halloween magic. Pair it with our Masala Chai — a warm & spicy blend. Sweet, comforting, and perfect for sipping between handfuls of candy.
2. “Get Out” + Maple Black : Intense, layered, unforgettable (Staff's Favorite)
Jordan Peele’s psychological thriller calls for a tea that keeps your senses alert. Our Maple black is just that — rich with a touch of maple sweetness. Intriguing and bold, just like the movie itself.
3. “Coraline” + Blueberry Rooibos : Mysterious, whimsical, caffeine-free
For a film that’s both eerie and beautiful, our Blueberry Rooibos is the perfect match. With deep berry notes and earthy rooibos, it’s a naturally caffeine-free option for family movie night — or for adults who prefer their spooky with a side of sweet.
4. “The Witch” + Lavender Earl Grey : Dark, haunting
This slow-burn horror set in 1600s New England is a forest tale of fear and folklore. Our Lavender Earl Grey blend brings wild botanicals and a rustic, grounding taste to match the film’s eerie tone. Best enjoyed by candlelight.
5. “The Nightmare Before Christmas” + Vanilla Mint Chai : Festive, delightfully weird
Not sure if you’re in the Halloween or holiday spirit? Why not both? Tim Burton’s classic goes best with Vanilla Mint Chai — bright, tart, and warming with a dash of spice. A crowd-pleaser for all ages.
The Perfect Tea Night - Pro tip🍵 : brew a full teapot, dim the lights, light a few candles, and cue up the opening credits while your tea steeps. Magic guaranteed.
