Spiced Orange Festive Blend Loose Tea
The blend
Our Spiced Orange Festive Blend is a warming celebration of the season, designed to capture the cosy spirit of winter in every cup. This loose-leaf tea combines a base of smooth black tea with an aromatic medley of cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, and black pepper, uplifted by zesty citrus peel and the delicate touch of rose petals. Comforting, vibrant, and naturally festive, it’s a blend that brings cheer to chilly days and cosy nights alike.
The taste
This blend offers a rich, full-bodied black tea foundation, layered with warming spice and bright citrus. Sweet notes of cinnamon and ginger provide gentle warmth, while clove and cardamom lend depth and aromatic complexity. The orange peel adds a refreshing, tangy lift, balanced by subtle floral notes from rose petals. The result is a cup that’s bold, fragrant, and perfectly evocative of the festive season – a harmonious balance of spice and brightness that lingers with each sip.
The benefit
Beyond its delicious flavour, Spiced Orange Festive Blend offers a natural way to support seasonal wellbeing. Black tea is naturally rich in antioxidants, such as theaflavins and catechins, which can help reduce oxidative stress and support cardiovascular health. Warming spices like ginger, cinnamon, and cloves have long been valued for their anti-inflammatory and digestive properties, while cardamom is often associated with soothing the stomach and promoting balance. Together, this blend not only delights the senses but also helps nurture the body during the colder months – making it as functional as it is flavourful.
The moment
This tea is made for moments of comfort and connection. Whether you’re winding down by the fire, gathering with loved ones, or simply seeking a quiet pause in the middle of a busy festive season, Spiced Orange Festive Blend brings warmth and joy to the occasion. Its bright citrus and gentle spice make it just as welcome in the morning as it is in the evening – a versatile winter companion for all the season’s little rituals.
