Christmas tea, the essential hot drink of winter
Associated with festive and convivial moments, as well as moments of relaxation in the heart of the cold season,Christmas teacertainly belongs to the family of symbolic drinks. For example, we like to enjoy a steaming cup by the fire, watching the rain, snow or leaves fall from the comfort of the sofa.
More than just a tea, Christmas tea brilliantly embodies our current mood, between the need for warmth and the desire for comfort. It is therefore accompanied by characteristic notes, whose taste and scent undeniably mark the beginning of the winter season. This is particularly the case for spicy notes, which promise decidedly warm, festive, and flavorful cups. Cinnamon, ginger, cloves, cardamom, pepper, star anise: these plants, spices, and herbs are then invited into many Christmas blends, creating original and irresistible flavor combinations.
Because the end-of-year celebrations are also synonymous with indulgence, fruity and sweet notes also accompanymost Christmas teas, something to delight the taste buds of sweet tooths, all generations combined. While citrus fruits blend wonderfully with spices, apple, vanilla, chocolate, caramel or almond also find their place in autumnal and winter blends. Thanks to Christmas tea, immerse yourself in a world of sweetness enhanced by a slight hint of bitterness, for a unique olfactory and taste experience with each cup of tea.
