What are Holiday Teas? 

Holiday teas are all about capturing the flavours and feelings of the joyful season. They can be blended with any type of tea, caffeinated or caffeine-free. Here are some common ingredients that give a tea its holiday charm:

  • Spices like cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and ginger
  • Peppermint or candy cane flavours that add a refreshing, wintry touch
  • Dessert-inspired flavours such as vanilla, caramel or chocolate
  • Fruit like cranberry, orange peel or apple

Tips for Enjoying Holiday Teas

Aside from steeping a cup and enjoying it how you normally would, there are multiple ways you can indulge in a holiday tea. Make your tea moments extra special this season with a few simple touches:

  • Turn a holiday tea into a latte. Steep double strength and top with milk froth.
  • Create a festive pairing. Sip your tea alongside classic holiday treats like cookies, gingerbread scones or fruitcake.
  • Gift your favourite blends. These seasonal teas are a thoughtful gift idea for family and friends! 
  • Host a holiday tea party. Steep a few blends, set out some festive treats and let guests taste their way through your favourites.
