Description

Tea of the Week for February 8, 2021!

I realized after I had blended this that it sounds very holiday-ish (as well as “autumn-like”). I actually had slightly different plans for this tea – but the pandemic struck at the Mad Tea Artist again & I realized that I didn’t have the ingredients I needed to fulfill my original recipe idea – so rather than returning to my office to come up with a new recipe – I gathered together the ingredients that I knew would taste good together & just went for it.

The base is our naturally caffeine-free honeybush – it has a naturally sweet yet slightly spicy note to it so I knew that the warm spices I chose to add next (cinnamon, clove, ginger & nutmeg) would express themselves nicely with the honeybush. For a bit of brightness, I added some dried orange wedges. Finally, to give it a sweet, cake-y flavor, I added some cake & maple essence.

So, yeah, it does taste a little like fall & the holidays. But – hey, this blend includes some of my favorite flavor profiles in a tea (maple, ginger & other spices, citrus & a little cake never hurt!) so – so what? I’m loving every sip of this autumn-like, holiday-ish cuppa! It’s organic, VEGAN, gluten-free, allergen-free & naturally caffeine-free as well!
