Tea of the Week for December 4, 2017!
I wanted to do a Candy Cane type of tea this holiday season – I haven’t done a ‘minty’ tea for a little while now (Well, except for our Graveyard Mist, but because that’s part of our permanent collection, that doesn’t count!) and I thought the month of December would be the perfect time to create a minty tea with a sweet twist to it. 52Teas had a Candy Cane Black Tea some years ago (long before it was even a fanciful dream for me to take over 52Teas!) that I absolutely adored. And Southern Boy Teas (another division of Zoomdweebies, which was the main company that started 52Teas) had a Candy Cane White Tea made with shou mei fannings that I didn’t really adore. Oh, I liked it alright but it didn’t get me quite as giddy as the Candy Cane Black Tea.
But I wanted a Candy Cane tea – a white Candy Cane Tea using our beautiful, fluffy Bai Mu Dan. And here it is! Bai Mu Dan blended with refreshing peppermint and creamy vanilla bean and bits of candy cane. (These candy canes are organic, gluten-free, allergen-free and, of course: VEGAN!) It’s sweet, crisp with mint flavor with a soft undertone of vanilla, and delightful!
ingredients: white tea
organic ingredients: peppermint, vanilla bean, candy cane (organic cane sugar, organic brown rice syrup, natural peppermint flavor, color added [organic fruit juice]) & natural flavors
