How it tastes
Fruity and lightly spiced, with a hint of naturally sweet beetroot and toasty popped rice

The ultimate holiday punch. With cinnamon, apples, almonds, hibiscus and beetroot, this sweet, tart and lightly spiced caffeine-free herbal tea is as nice and rosy as a caroler’s cheeks. Feeling the chill? Add a splash of brandy for a drink that’ll warm you from the inside out. It’s the perfect blend to snuggle up with while watching the snow fall.

What makes it great
• This herbal tea is caffeine-free! Perfect for nighttime snuggles by fireplace.
• Makes a great holiday punch – try it with honey and a splash of brandy.

I don’t mind hibiscus so this tea gets a thumbs up from me! I find I can get two steeps out of one serving in my travel mug (4 tsps) so that’s a great bonus. Just the right amount of tart. Haven’t tried it iced, anyone recommend it?

It smells like cinnamon – yum! First few tastes were really nice – mild and cinnamon-y. Then the tart (apple or hibiscus?) kicked in – not as nice. I can see why so many people said “no hibiscus please!”. I don’t have a lot of experience with hibiscus, as I tend to avoid fruity blends. Might try it again. Not pleased about the need for artifical flavours – what, the long list of ingredients wasn’t enough?

When I went to the store I smelled this tea and was confused because I had come into the store to replenish my Forever Nuts stash. It’s basically a fancier, winterier version of Forever Nuts. Really yummy, resteeped great, and relaxed me so well the other night that I was falling asleep while drinking it.

I loved the smell of this, which is why I purchased it but the flavour is a little sour to me. Adding sweetener did not help either. Not my fav from the holiday collection.

The popped rice in this one kinda ruins it for me, that’s all I could smell and taste.

The first day my DavidsTea store got their shipment of Sleigh Ride (Tea of the month for Dec), I couldn’t resist a taste. I was told it is a mixture of Kanpe and Forever Nuts, but to me it is very much like a sweet, nutty apple cider of sorts. It is absolutely festive, but I can imagine drinking it all year round, and can picture it being wonderful on ice.

Any lover of a fruity or nutty herbal tea – definitely give this limited edition a try! So good, so so good.
