Christmas Tea from Twinings
25

Had a cup of this and the teabag itself smelled of cinnamon and clove. Hhhmmmm, I put on the kettle. As I was waiting for my water I read the box. Cinnamon….check. Clove…check. Artificial flavoring…….I wasn’t expecting much. Still, I gave it a go.

In the cup, I could smell the spices, but I honesly couldn’t taste much of anything. Not even the black tea. Very bland, I will not be having this for Christmas, or any other time. My tea tastings for March can only improve!

Cupped: Thursday, March 1, 2012.

Reviewed: Sunday, March 4, 2012.

The only “Christmas” tea I’ve found to love is one by Stash, otherwise, they all seem to disappoint! :(

I haven’t tried too many Christmas teas, but I love Stash’s Christmas Morning, White Christmas, & Holiday Chai! Which are you referring to Indigo?

ummm oh jeeze, it’s in a red packet. I reviewed it awhile back. I believe it was Christmas Morning! White Christmas was just ok for me

I liked the Holiday Chai, sent some to my daughter’s boyfriend in N. Ireland and he loved it. The White Christmas was okay, but I don’t drink much peppermint tea. It is very soothing, though.

I have this to test, and should get to it before summer, huh? Also have Stash’s Christmas Morning and Eve (did not like Holiday Chai, but not a gingerbread/rum fan).
