Tea with festive flavours
With the festive season in the air and hands warm from the steaming, sweet hues nesting in the tea cups, once again we greet and invite you to celebrate with us this special time of the year.
You will once more find in our Xmas collection those favourite, familiar flavours that are artfully wedded with ingredients such as cherry and apple with coriander, white tea with star anise, cinnamon and clove with citrus fruits, currants and raisins with sweet and tangy tropical fruits and beetroot with almond, all overflowing, as the season demands, with a riot of fragrances and flavours.
You should also know about our new Xmas praline hazelnut aroma -green teas with the smell of freshly roasted chocolate cookies, a tea which will surely go into your list for the Xmas stocking.
Green Christmas
Green sencha with the fragrance of orange peel, almonds, rose petals and pieces of cinnamon, clove, cardamom and citrus anise. This tea is a perfect accompaniment to your festive sweet, with the aroma of citrus fruits and star anise lingering on the palate.
Christmas Tea
Aromatic black tea with sweet and spicy tints to match ideally with the flavours of the Xmas meal. The sweet and sour duet of dried cherry and apple is in perfect harmony with the orchestra of festive spices such as cinnamon, clove, coriander, cardamom and red pepper.
White Christmas
An aristocratic blend based on the white tea Bai Mu Dan. It imparts a sweet and nutty cup which is excellently combined with the sweet aromas of winter fruits, spices and nuts, such as apple, orange, dog rose, cardamom, star anise and almonds.
The Wise Men's Gifts
An ensemble of dried fruit and spices, earthy and nutty aromas to give that special scent to those seasonal moments. Sweet liqueur with honeyed notes from a cup with shades of vivacious red. Apple, orange, beetroot and hibiscus regale them with their colour and fragrance, while the almond, cardamom and star anise give them that sweet intensity throughout.
Christmas in Vienna
An opulent combination of dried fruit and spices which recreate the charm of this fairytale capital city. This cup comes in a deep red colour from the hibiscus and the dog rose. Sour and slightly spicy in flavour, it blends together perfectly the sweet aromas of currants, apple, raisins, almond and cinnamon as well as the dried tropical fruit such as papaya, mango and pineapple.
Christmas Stars
A Xmas concoction based on black tea which is adorned visually and in flavour by sugary snowflakes. The mouth is awash with sweet-bitter aromas of cocoa bean shell and caramelized almonds, while the scattered seeds of red pepper inject the necessary intensity. It will remind you of a confection of almond liqueur and dark chocolate, and accompanies marvelously your special Xmas get togethers.
Santa's Cookies
The fragrant hues of Xmas in a single cup! The hot aromas of hazelnut praline and chocolate flakes are beautifully matched with the bitter, tangy cocoa bean shells in a Sencha green tea base. Tea with an extra-long aftertaste which fills your home with the aroma of cookies just out of the oven.
