I will be the first to admit that I do not normally reach for flavored hot teas. Maybe I am a purist, or maybe I am just stuffy and don’t venture out enough.
Be that as it may, this year when our winter blends were complete, I naturally sampled them for quality control. As I sipped them, their flavor and aromas immediately reminded why they are so popular during the winter season.
The Winter Evening has a nice mix of fruits, a surprising sweetness from pink peppercorns as well as almonds and pistachios that make this a smooth beverage.
I am thinking of renaming the Holiday Gifts Black Tea Blend. The citrus, cinnamon and cloves are comforting any cold day, or evening. The balance of ingredients make their interplay quite interesting.
So I will make it a New Year’s resolution to be a bit more expansive in my daily consumption.
Also, if you have a creative suggestion for our Holiday Gifts tea, we would love to hear it.
It’s a Big World…Drink it Up!
