Christmas may be associated with tastes of peppermint candy canes, hot chocolate, and sticky fruit cake, but Christmas teas are typically flavored with tart lemon or sweet orange peels, cinnamon, and cloves, which frame the sweetness and tanginess of the fruits with a spicy aftertaste. As a recommendation, serve without milk to enhance the distinct flavors and replace sugar with honey.

Our website carries our own English Tea Store, Stash, and Harrisons & Crosfield blends. Our Christmas black loose leaf tea also comes in two flavors, apple spice and orange spice, which are both flavored with peels from the respective fruits and cinnamon. The apple spice black tea, if combined with cinnamon and wine, can also be used to make Gluwien.
