Love this tea, perfect with a little cream and stevia. Steeping time is important though, otherwise tends to be a little bitter.
Warming Ceylon black tea with fresh, cozy spices and orange. Zesty with a sweet finish.

Love this tea, perfect with a little cream and stevia. Steeping time is important though, otherwise tends to be a little bitter.
I enjoyed this tea, but I wish I got more of the clove and orange flavors. I mostly tasted cinnamon -- which is not a bad thing, necessarily, just not what I wanted from this tea. I may try steeping it for a little longer to see if I get more flavor from it.
This tea is really good, but it wasn't quite what I was expecting. It smells at little like egg nog mixed with chai, but just tastes like chai plus cinnamon.
It sure does taste like Christmas in a cup. a little on the perfume(ish) side
Its defiantly Christmas in a cup! Fun and festive.
I don't know how Christmasy this is to me, the spices are really strong and overpowering. Probably mostly the cloves. It's bearable with a lot of milk and sugar, but still not something that makes me particularly jolly.
It's the main reason I placed my order and one I'll be ordering again in a larger size! Perfect morning and at night.
It works really well as a chai base to add to other teas. I paired it with my chestnut tea on a foggy day and enjoyed a very nice and cozy afternoon.
Just reordered! Love this one!! Perfect spice flavors!
I really like the combination of flavors in this tea. They are balanced perfectly for a wonderful cup.
Yummy! Just the right blend of spice with a smooth flavor.
This is everything Christmas. Pretty good! It does smell like strong potpourri prior to brewing.
Really like this one. Nice combination of spices. Very soothing and it does evoke Christmas, with the orange and cloves.
Not bad...just an ok tea. Hard to really distinguish the flavored.
It's a little sweet and a little spicy. It's perfect for this season!
It steeps better than it smells. Best if you love ginger. It begs for a bit of sweetness added (and it's a good hot toddy base).
I first got this as a sample, and it was so good I just had to order a larger bag of it (especially for the holiday season). It really is like drinking Christmas in a cup. I really find it hard to explain the flavor other than it's just warm spices that are just so perfectly Christmas. I like to add sugar to mine, I think the sweet helps enhance the flavors.
Perfect cup of tea with orange and spice. I could drink this all year 'round.
Really does put me in mind of Christmas. Great spice flavors to warm me.
Pretty decent, but reminds me so much of a chai that I sort of wish I'd just gotten one of the chais. .) Doesn't especially scream Christmas to me, but definitely tasty! No complaints.
Has all the smells and flavors of Christmas time all year around. Have been really feeling Christmas with this tea.
Mmmmmm, doesn't lie. This actually tastes like christmas in a cup. I add a tiny bit of agave and some whole milk, so yummy.
This tea is nice. The flavors blend well and it has a pleasing flavor. But...it really isn't anything <I>special</I>. It's a nice tea, but it's not as out-of-this world as it should be.
Tastes like Christmas. Best with cream and sugar. Save some for Santa.)
this is a great tea for the holidays.it was a nice blend.
Spicy and warm, very fragrant. The cloves come through strong, but not overwhelming. Being a fan of sweetened tea, I added honey, and it was just perfect.
Orange and spice is one of my favorite flavor combinations, and this tea did not disappoint. Though this tea doesn't make me think about Christmas (peppermint reminds me more of the holidays), it does pair rather nicely with putting up the Christmas tree. Time for a new tradition, perhaps?
A friend of mine told me about this tea, and she said it tasted exactly how you would imagine Christmas tasting!
I was optimistic about this one when I ordered the sample - and then terrified when I opened it and took a sniff. I don't know why, but certain tea flavors actively make me not want to try them, at first sniff. Once I do, I'm usually happy, though!
For me this tea was a better Oriental Spice (which is one of my favorites, so by no means is this an insult to Oriental Spice!). It's got more depth to it, but the same sort of flavor patterns. It didn't really remind me of Christmas, to be fair, but it was lovely all the same.
I thought this might be a bit intense but it is actually a very soothing tea with the hint of Christmas spirit
Just received this tea today. It smells great, like spices and oranges and pretty much exactly what you would expect from the description. The cinnamon is very pronounced in the taste with other spices sort of peaking through. Very warming like it says. Wonderful tea. I can tell it's going to be a favorite for the winter season from now on.
I purchased this a gift for the girls I work with. When they first opened the bag, I was standing several feet away, the aroma took me back to my childhood. I was initially concerned that the tea would be too strong and overpowering, but surprisingly it was subtle. Both the girls, who are not avid tea drinkers, were sold. I think this is one I would like to try loose leaf connoisseur style.
This is a wonderful cup of tea! That says a lot coming from someone who is not a fan of cinnamon, and so-so about cloves but I do love the orange peel flavor. Combined this was great. I picked this up to try something new and I am very happy I did! I'll be picking it up again!!
I was a little hesitant about this tea at first. The clove scent prior to brewing is strong, and I have been burned by clove flavor in the past. However, this steeped up at just the right amount of clove for flavor, and it tastes awesome with or without sweetener. Definitely one of my favorites!
I like the bold flavor of this tea and the feel of Christmas that it brings.
This is perfect for those cold winter nights while you work on decorating the tree or just sitting around with friends.
I love this tea. It smells like spice and cinnamon, and is perfect for a cold December day. Definite fave.
This tea smells like christmas and tastes amazing. It is fruitier than i expected but it melds well with the spices.
Not my favorite, it's seems a little light for my taste. I do like really strong teas though
I got this for the holidays, it's exactly what it says. Lovely tea.
My friends and family who've tried it liked it, but I just personally can't get behind this one.
The flavor that really comes out in this tea is the cinnamon and I love it! You can also taste some orange even though there are just peels in the tea. This perfectly captures the feelings of Christmas. Christmas in a cup!
I brewed this a bit too long the first time, but after I got it right (90 seconds to 2 minutes at 212@) and added milk it was a delightful spicy and festive tea. A bit more fierce than Chai. The assam is very pronounced.
This one does evoke the flavors of Xmas, from the tree to the spices!
Smells like Christmas - cinnamon, clove spices, dried orange peel, black tea leaves. Good tea to drink during the holidays, but it is not my 'go to' tea.
Not only it doesn't have any taste, it is just bland. Not flavorful enough
It's nice to have a wonderful, tasty fall/winter drink that doesn't have anything to do with pumpkin. It's warm and like a hug in a cup.
This tea is so festive I kinda wish I had just waited closer to christmas since it made me think of setting up the tree and my dog laying on the tree skirt
So I had high hopes for this tea brand. We spend a good deal of money with Teavana and haven't been disappointed with anything but the price. The pricing was great so the only thing left was to try the teas. I ordered samples mostly black and green tea. The black teas tasted like Lipton without any of the flavors suggested when the package was opened (cocomint green and pumpkin spice were the other two tried). Very bland. I moved on to the mango green tea hoping it was a black tea challenge only. Disappointing as well. I'm glad it was only a sample set. The reviews by others suggested differently but that wasn't the case for me. On a positive note, ordering online was easy and the shipment arrived quickly. Sorry for the bad review.
Very similar to the Chai and very enjoyable with vanilla creamer.
