Winter Solstice from Peet's Coffee & Tea

Spencer drank Winter Solstice by Peet's Coffee & Tea

A tasty cuppa, and such a nice change from plain cinnamon orange black teas.

Nice to see something from Peet’s here. I used to live in Berkeley not too far from there first store on Vine St. I loved going down to check out their latest rare teas. Always something good there.

This tea sounds almost like a chai tea with some orange in it. Do you suggest it be drunk with milk and sugar or plain? It almost sounds like Constant Comment Orange spice.

I drank it straight and it was wonderful. It’s a great step up from typical cinnamon orange black tea. The vanilla really ads a wonderful smoothness.

Bio

“I love trading tea and trying new teas. My favourites are oolong (mainly Chinese) and pu’erh.
Will gladly talk all day about tea.”

The above was my bio when I joined three years ago, and I felt it needed to be updated. I still love pu’erh, though I have begun to take preference toward cooked, shou. Oolongs are certainly still a go-to tea for me, but I have expanded my horizons to begin including greens and blacks based upon the weather and how I am feeling.

Still more than glad to talk about tea – anytime, anywhere, anyplace.
Additionally, if fountain pens, books, music, or computers are on the discussion list…
