Tastes exactly like Christmas, a bit spicy and sweet.
Warming Ceylon black tea with fresh, cozy spices and orange. Zesty with a sweet finish.

Tastes exactly like Christmas, a bit spicy and sweet.
Smells wonderful and tastes wonderful. Simply delicious
This is a lovely tea! It is warm and slightly spicy. There is a mild flavor like candied orange peel that makes a nice background flavor. Definitely puts me in a holiday mood.
I always get jealous of the fun coffees that come out around the holidays, but this tea makes up for it! Flavorful, warm spices make a flavorful and aromatic cup of tea.
This tea is okay, but there's some unexpected flavor in there that I can't quite define - it's almost minty, I think? I can't really taste the orange at all. It's alright, just not quite what I expected from the description.
A nice holiday blend, will be perfect with some pumpkin or apple pie.
I'm a little torn on this one! I shy away from teas with any kind of cinnamon in them, because it's always overpowering. But in this tea, I want more! This is not a Chai tea, so probably my fault for wanting it to be more like that. Not super flavorful for me, smells better than it tastes.
Christmas blend tea have been my fovorite for years, to the point of actually buying enough until the next christmas. This is a great tea as well. I think that the perfection of some of you fandom blends sort of take away from your standard teas.
I think almost everyone would like this tea. It is well balanced with nice combination of spices. I made some for a classroom full of teenagers and it was quite well received. It's the perfect cup for a cold day.
This is a lovely blend for a winter afternoon, although I think I would enjoy it slightly more if the ginger undertones were stronger. It's yummy, but lacks that extra little kick.
Truly, this is Christmas in a cup. I've had lots of holiday teas, but this one definitely is a winner. Perfect for whenever you feel like getting in the holiday spirit!
This was good--not amazing, but good! Very similar to the regular chai.
A wonderful cup of tea for a cool, fall day. The aroma is a holiday!
This has become one of our favorites! We love the smell and the taste. Will definitely reorder.
I really enjoyed the different flavors in the tea. Def made me feel Christmas-y
Im usually not the biggest fan of the flavored teas, but this is a nice winter tea
It's like Christmas in a cup. It's great in this cooler weather.
Really like this tea! This will be great with the upcoming holidays mixed with a little bit of Irish Cream.
I got this for my Mom as a gift, and she loves it. She drinks tea in the morning now, instead of coffee, and I may have to buy her more soon.
Oh My Goodness, I am in love. I am new to this loose tea craze so I don't know all the technical terms so I just have to put it in Layman's terms...I love this stuff!! It tastes like a chilly fall morning, wrapped in a blanket, reading a book. Definitely a keeper.
This is just a fantastic tea when you want something with a little spice. Brewing it reminds me of those cinnamon pinecones (in moderation) and it just makes you feel warm all inside. A fantastic tea that doesn't need any sweetener. Just pour a cup and sit back and inhale!
Perfectly spicy and cozy for a cold day! Bring on the fireside tea drinking :)
I really like the Christmas tea. It isn't my favorite favorite, but it is a good spicy tea. If you can't handle the bite of cinnamon, I would skip this. But it is nice!
I cannot tell you how much I LOVED this tea! It tastes like childhood memories at Christmas.
This was good. Perfect for cooler weather! I like it with cream.
I didn't get the Christmas feeling, maybe because it's too hot here. I really enjoyed it though
It truly does smell and taste like Christmas. Highly recommend!
Smells wonderful. It is full of Christmas spices. It is especially good to savor a cup on a cold rainy day.
My sister wanted to try it so we bought some. I was really surprised by this tea. The smell as soon as you crack the seal on the bag is very strong but don't let this worry you, the flavor is very pleasant and not overpowering. Definitely puts you in mind of a christmas-y chai without getting bitter or sneeze-inducing. Also impressed that it didn't leave any strange or strong aftertastes.
We'll definitely serve this again.
Almost a chai-lite. Not sure if the flavor pallet is for me but it is far from a bad tea. It does however taste pretty christmas-y.
It smells like Christmas! I was worried it'd be too artifical tasting or something, but it's quite nice. At first sip there wasn't much flavor to me, but as I went on drinking the cup it grew tastier and tastier. Great with a splash of milk.
I think I brewed this too weak, so I'll need to try it again...but it was tasty, not quite my definition of christmas, but still fairly delish.
Probably my favorite tea! No matter the time of year!
This tea smells delicious! It's a bit spicier than I would have liked though.
Mmmmmm this is so good. Not overpowering. Leaves a cinnamon Christmas cookie taste in your mouth. I'm making this one of my faves and drinking it year round. Great in the morning or by the fireplace at night!
Christmas has a great Christmas feel to it, great for a cold night. felt the one cup I made had a strong clove flavor but I have only had one cup. it was a good cup all around

I was hoping this would be as good as the Christmas tea that Twinings makes...but the spices are stronger. Too many cloves and not enough cinnamon for my taste. Next time, I will probably try brewing it 50/50 with straight black tea as an experiment.
I guess chai teas feel more like Christmas to me. I thought 3 min was a bit short for a black tea, but I set a timer for 3 min and got slightly bitter tea. I found this to be a lightly flavored black tea, mostly orange. Not my favorite spice tea, this would be good if the spice of a chai is too much for you.
I love this tea. I ordered several sample packs for my first time buying from Adagio and this tea was the first one I ran out of. It sort of reminds me of a friendship tea that my mom makes. Its great with just a little sugar and creamer can be added. Some days I like to add cinnamon creamer, other days I drink it without creamer. Today I did not have enough tea left to make a full cup so I added some herbal Blood Orange tea to it as well. It was delicious and added just an extra kick of that orange flavor. This was so yummy I created a signature blend on here called Christmas Friendship Tea.
The smell and taste reminds me of Christmas dinners with my family when I was a kid growing up.
I 'love' 'Russian' tea. This is good spice tea, but not 'Russian.' I wish there was a sample decaf version of this (that didn't require buying 20 at a time). :-( I love tea, but caffeine doesn't love me. Glad to see it's available year 'round,' unlike other companies that sell their version.
It's a nice warm spice blend, but I'll admit that it's not my favorite. I definitely prefer it with milk.
This tea smells and tastes absolutely amazing. Just like Christmas! Which can be welcome in August or September when you're starting to crave gingerbread and nutmeg.
I like the orange mixed with the spices and clove.
Nice spicy tea, full flavored with cinnamon and cloves. Even better when mixed with pu erh hazelberry.
Great blend of Christmas spices. When enjoyed with cream and honey, it almost becomes a 'chai-lite'. I've even been known to drink it in July! .-)
If you're looking to get this tea you might as well just get a chai. They're more flavorful than this tea which seems to emulate the qulaities of chai, but with less complexity.
The citrus and cinnamon really come out to me, not at all overwhelming but very warming and complimentary. Smooth and totally delicious, even in July.
If you are looking for a spiced tea, this is definitely it! The flavors of the tea take a back seat in this blend. When you first drink it you will be smacked in the face with spiciness! You need to be careful when you brew this tea -- too much extra time, and the spice flavor becomes harsh, not appealing. I prefer the tea as it cools off and think it would be great cold! I love spice but giving it some time to cool off takes the harshness down a notch. Leaves a spicy, sweet aftertaste.
