Santa's Milk & Cookies Flavored Black Tea - Loose Leaf

T'was the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring - except for old St. Nick as he stirred a dash of sugar into his hot cup of tea, left out for him by a thoughtful child in place of the traditional milk and cookies. Sure, this may be our fantasy version of the famous Christmas eve tale, but hey, we're a tea company.

That said, considering the volume of milk Santa drinks on Christmas night, it'd do him well to replace the odd glass with a cup of antioxidant rich, high-grown black tea. This is especially true when the blend includes sumac berries, thought be effective in regulating cholesterol and reducing blood sugar, and red plum petals, thought by some practitioners of Chinese medicine to help treat gastritis and gastric ulcers.

How to Make Tea

Caffeine content:Medium.

Antioxidant Content: High. The longer you steep your tea the more polyphenols will be extracted. (Test results based on 5 minutes steeping time. Polyphenol percentages may fluctuate with lot, grade of tea, testing method, temperature of water and freshness of tea). More antioxidants are extracted from tea (L. Camellia Sinesis) the longer it is brewed. And the more tea is used, the greater the antioxidant benefit.
