Review: As you would expect, this one smells quite Christmasy and very sweet - like its name.  The taste is a bit creamy and smoky, as if there's milk in it.  We guess that's from the hazelnut brittle - an unusual ingredient to throw into a tisane.  We're not knocking it, though, because this tea is delicious.  It's warming and full, rich and a bit toasted, with a subtle apple taste underneath.  It's softer than, for instance, T2 Turkish Apple Chunky.  A friend noted it 'sings on the palate' and accurately identified that it smells a bit like toasted caramel and vanilla, or even Spekuloos biscuits.  You can't go wrong with that!

As ever with T2, remember that although it costs £7.50 a box, each box makes approximately 40 cups of tea; and as it's a tisane, you can get away with topping it up with boiling water to make a second (albeit slightly weaker) cup, meaning you can stretch the box to make around 80 cups.  But that's a lot of tea, so you have to love the flavour to make this a worthwhile investment.  We love this one, so we bought it.

Best time of year to drink this: Autumn / winter.

Best time of day to drink this: Afternoon / evening / night.
