This blend has a warm and inviting aroma that will make you feel like you are in a cozy and cheerful home full of christmas decorations and treats. The taste is smooth, citrusy and spicy, mixed with the brisk flavor from the Ceylon. The christmas blend captures the essence of the holiday season and will put you on a festive mood. This blend is perfect for a cold and snowy day!
This tea is very aromatic, warm spicy flavor. A bit too much orange peel flavor for my taste. Good with milk.
I’ve had this years past and I reminder liking it more then. The flavors weren’t as strong this time around. Needs more spice to it. But then you don’t want it to be a chai… I dunno. It’s just not as strong as before and I preferred it before. Still really good. I’d order again.
The name says it all. Robust, with a heavenly mulled focus, this tea is exactly what you would expect from Christmas in a cup.
A subtle and delicious tea that goes great with breakfast, no matter what you are having, as well as 3pm tea. The flavors are a perfect combination together. Another winter classic added to my family's vast tea supply.
This is Christmas in a tea! I don't know how they did it!
Update: I loved it even more in 2023. I think I need some extra Christmas in my life!
This is a wonderful blend. I love the little bit of spice and the hint of orange. A great wake up in the morning!
This tea is exactly what you would expect that Christmas would taste like. The smell and taste reminds me of walking into stores that has decorations up. I let this get cool, and even at a cooler temperature it was still enjoyable.
there couldnt be a more perfect blend with the name christmas!
For a tea with so many spices, I was expecting, well -- more spice! The black tea base here is strong, and while it smells of orange, ginger, and cinnamon, I mostly taste black tea and a bit of clove. Adding sugar cut the tea flavor a bit but didn't do much to bring out the other flavors. I'll take the Pu-erh Spice over this as a real holiday spice blend any day.
I had a lot of cloves in my packet. Very, very strong tea. A little too overwhelming for me.
I love cinnamon and cloves. This is a great Christmas tea. It’s nice with honey. Merry Christmas.
The underlying flavors were really nice, unfortunately for me it was too clove heavy to enjoy the underlying flavors.
I love all the spices included in this blend. I don't feel like any one overpowers the other either. They all blend beautifully together to create a lovely, warm & cozy tea that might replicate how one would feel on a Christmas morning surrounded by loved ones.
Strong clove spice aroma from the dry tea leaves. One clove, some cinnamon, cardamom, didn't note ginger or orange. 2 min @ 165. Medium spice fragrance, black tea with a hint of spice flavor, no bitterness or astringency. Added milk and it was okay, but not for me.
The spices are the most assertive thing in this tea, but the orange is hiding there. I sweetened with honey and made a latte with it. Merry Christmas! I sampled this Tea as part of the CommuniTEA December box.
I get warm spices but they are subtle. Would have appreciated a stronger spice blend.
Very flavorful love the notes of cinnamon and cloves. Very festive for today 🎄
Very fitting for the Dec 25th CommuniTea sampler. Spicy with a bit of orange. I'd perfer a bit more spice, but it's still very nice.
This is a mildly spiced orangy black tea that I drink more as a latte to temper the spice blend. It smells devine and the flavors blend nicely. I couldn’t drink it year round because it feels very much autumn -winter.
This tea tastes almost entirely of the spices, and doesn’t have much else going on, at least to my palate. There are other spiced teas that I like a lot more.
I've ordered this one a few times for that Christmas feeling. Tasty warm spices with hints of cardamom and orange, so good!
Christmas tea, O Christmas tea...is absolute fav of mine! Great by itself or with creme & sugar or great in Holiday-themed/Wintry fandom blends! Lightly spicy..Just the perfect amount--for the intention of what this tea is meant for--(We don't need wild spices on Christmas morn 😹🤶🎅.) I def always gotta have this Christmas tea in the stash, all Fall-N-Winter! 🎄♾️🌟
A decent spiced black tea, but something was lacking from making it a great tea. It just wasn't as vibrant as I hoped. It was fairly well balanced with the spices, except lacking a little with the cinnamon. There was a hint of orange on the tongue. It didn't knock my socks off, but it is a decent holiday tea for Christmas morning.
Warm and cinnamony! Love this tea in the wintertime.
a very well blended tea. Cinnamon and cloves were excellent taste for the tongue. Missing out on the orange peels.
I really love this version of Chai; it's spicy but has a vanilla, creamy note that I enjoy very much. I add about 1 tablespoon each of half&half and honey.
This tea is a pretty straightforward black with the Christmas-y spices we all know and love infused into the blend. My recommendation is to use this in a blend, rather than on its own. My favorite concoction so far is a 2:1 ratio of Chestnut and Christmas together steeped at around 195 for 3mins to lessen the astringency. It really gives 'Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire'. Happy holidays, all!
I love this Christmas blend. It is the right mix of spicy flavorings to tea. The aroma sparks those warm holiday feelings, too. A lovely and satisfying tea for the holiday season and beyond. Highly recommended
Very pleasant tea that invoces a feeling of Christmas. Great blend of spices, it reminds me of some tea I enjoyed at a Christmas market in Germany.
Slightly spicy with notes of cinnamon, cardamom and clove this is a good tea for fall and winter with warm flavors.
This smells exactly like a Christmas candle! But the flavor is more astringent than my preference, I think it also needs some apple flavor in there, and I think I accidentally brewed it too long, so I may update this review later when I do it for the time that it recommends which is 3 minutes.
Update : second steeping of that cup (while I fixed breakfast) spices not nearly as overwhelming, and the taste is more balanced, but the astringency is still there. I love chai tea, so I should really like this one, but it still isn't hitting the bullseye for me, I may try to blend it with a tea that's more apple-based, and see if that does it.
Perfect for this time of year great gift for the tea drinker
This really does smell and taste like Christmas! Very aptly named. Great for a cooler fall or winter day.
Warning! This tea was so good that I accidentally drank four cups of it, but be warned, when they say high caffeine, they mean it! Unlike with most black teas, I was WIRED all day, and coming down from that did not feel good. If you're sensitive to caffeine, know that brewing this tea too strong or drinking too much will be like an espresso shot or two. Trying to drink a decaf tea now to calm down before bed even 12 hours after my first cup of 'Christmas' this morning. Whew. On the other hand, if you're looking for a healthier way to stay up all night, just drink this all day. haha Going to try to blend this with something less potent (or just use less of it) tomorrow. Too good to stop drinking when I should have.
Warm and lovely, with a light spice. The flavors work well together though I wouldn’t complain if they were a bit stronger.
What a wonderful Christmas Day or holiday drink, with all the flavors of the season!
What a great blend of spices - really tastes like the perfect drink to have on a snowy December day. All the spices combine to make a stomach warming mix. The orange comes through and mingles with the cinnamon and ginger especially. Delicious!
So glad this one is in my morning rotation, it's always different in scent and flavor. Don't wait for Christmas!
I thought this was an enjoyable tea. But for my last cup there was a little bit extra in the bag. With that extra tea it was transformed into a delightful tea. I will be more generous with my measurements in the future.
Christmas in July - well, it's only May but I'm ok with that! A touch of local honey enhances the taste.
This is a great cinnamon tea. The cloves just add to the flavor. I don't taste the orange at all. No bitterness from the black tea. I drink this hot & cold.
This was definitely a favorite of mine, I got the sample since it was on sale. And wow it was worth it. I enjoyed this black tea and will be drinking it again
Loved the smell and taste of this tea. A cozy cup with all the flavors and taste of the holiday season.
This tea has a nice warming feeling. I like the classic Christmas flavors that are not too overpowering. would recommend
I was hoping for a citrusy chai experience, but it wasn't that. It was a decent black tea, just not the flavors I was expecting.
Has a nice blend of spices and does remind me of a beautiful Christmas day. I love drinking this in a cold day especially
I purchased this on a whim, but now I'm completely addicted to it. I hope it's not going to just be a seasonal tea.
As far as I'm concerned this is a loose-leaf bougie version of Constant Comment, but I'm down with that!
This was a fun tea to have around Christmas time with lots of good spices. I did eventually start to tire of it, but maybe I'll get some again next year.
