Review: This is simply one of the best! It smells sooooo Christmassy - and it's so exciting to see the nuts and seeds as they go into the strainer. The flavour is earthy and nutty, with a hint of spice. It's soothing, gentle, beautiful. A little savoury due to the toasted seeds, but in perfect balance with the orange peel, making for a refreshing palate cleanser. Despite it including the dreaded 'flavouring', you can't taste it at all. Best of all, it's different from all the other blends we've tried. Sadly, it's also completely off the market. Confession time: Tulsi bought this, um...ten years ago, and we only got round to drinking it now. True, it was sealed in an airtight tin all that time, but even so...the strength of the flavour after a full decade was unreal. Please, Whittard, bring this one back next Christmas! It's a definite Must-Drink!
Best time of year to drink this: When it's cold out - autumn / winter Best time of day to drink this: EveningsBe sure to SUBSCRIBE to our blog so you don't miss out on tea reviews, new flavour announcements, recommended tea accessories, and much more!
