{"product_id":"cremier-candy-gingerbread","title":"Creamer Candy Gingerbread","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis gingerbread house-shaped creamer seems to have escaped from a miniature Christmas village, just like those \"heart-throb\" items that Betjeman \u0026amp; Barton loves to slip in among its exceptional teas. Its candy box silhouette, both mischievous and refined, plays the card of very British humor: you smile first, then you admire the care taken with the details, between retro chic and perfectly assumed eccentricity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe creamer in the pure tradition of English tea time\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the tradition of English tea time, the creamer occupies a discreet but essential place. It accompanies the teapot as a matter of course, ready to soften a full-bodied black tea or to nuance a livelier blend. A dash of milk, sometimes a touch of cream, is poured into it, according to habits and sensibilities. This almost ceremonial gesture contributes to the elegance of the service: everyone composes their cup to their liking, thus extending the art of hospitality so dear to the British. The creamer then becomes more than an accessory, a sign of attention and refinement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe tradition of gingerbread houses revisited as a Candy Gingerbread creamer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGingerbread houses originated in Renaissance Germany, where large spiced biscuits were already made for year-end celebrations. In the 19th century, the tale of \"Hansel and Gretel\" popularized the image of the house entirely made of cakes and candies, inspiring pastry chefs and families to build their own small sweet dwellings for Christmas. Little by little, these houses became a symbol of the Advent period: they were decorated with icing sugar, colored pastilles, hearts and candy canes, like an ephemeral decor to be enjoyed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA gourmet setting to accompany Betjeman \u0026amp; Barton teas\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFilled with milk or cream, this small pot perfectly accompanies Christmas teas, the spicy or vanilla blends of the house, those that smell of pastry and citrus peels like the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/betjemanandbarton.com\/products\/the-noir-christmas-tea\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChristmas Tea.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e Simply place it near the teapot for the service to take on the appearance of a refined ritual: a simple gesture, but surrounded by a decor that already tells a story.
