‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring… not even a mouse! Well, actually – in truth I WAS stirring. Stirring sugar into my tea that is!
And this Sweet Orange Spice tea is the perfect tea to be stirring and drinking on the night before Christmas or actually on any cold winter’s night. Spicy and warming, a beautiful symphony of flavors make this tea a yuletide joy.
Both the aroma and the flavor of the tea is predominantly cinnamon, with whispers of a light citrus orange in the background.
Tea Forté describes this tea as:
Capture the flavors of the season with this enticing blend of black tea, cinnamon and orange. A limited edition holiday tea.
Available in these gift options: Winter Tea Tree, Winter Solstice Gift Set, and ourLumiere Gift Tower.
The black tea base is very well-balanced in this blend, a nice medium-bodied tea which harmonizes well with the cinnamon and orange. Best served hot, with a touch of sweetener to bring out the orange bit more. Very warming and comforting, in taste as well as scent. As this is a limited edition holiday tea, you should be sure to get some of this lovely tea before it’s gone!

"Well, as someone who has tasted a lot of chai tea, I can attest that this really is not very similar in taste to Chai. Chai tends to focus on the spices, whereas this tea’s focus is on the orange, with the spices being very gentle and more of an accent to the orange."

"How fun! I love drinking tea so I love that you have a whole blog related to reviewing them. One brand that I really love that I don’t see on your list is the Portsmouth Tea Company. When I lived in Boston I used to buy lots of their teas and they were oh so unique. They had some really great fruity and floral blends. It’s interesting that..."

"I’m not absolutely certain, but I believe that this is the concentrate that Seattle’s Best coffee shops use to make their matcha latte. The lattes I’ve enjoyed there were sweet with a definite melon flavor… and I have noticed that they sell other Tazo teas there. If it IS the concentrate that they use… I am..."

"Steph: Thank you for your information about the naranquilla. I didn’t find the flavor to be very tart at all – which is what I would have expected from the combination of lime and rhubarb. Perhaps the maraschino sweetened it up a bit and made it much more peach-like. It reminded me a bit of candied apricots or peaches."
