Looking for a winter concoction without the alcohol? Then, this brew is for you! The blend produces a reddish cup with a sweet fragrant aroma and taste. The tannic taste is reminiscent of red wine and it is perfectly complemented by the light spice taste and the earthy undertones.
Ingredients: black teas, orange peel, beet root, spiced mulled wine flavoring and malva blossoms.
Brew tea at 212º – steep for 3 minutes.
Certified Kosher

Simpson & Vail Advent Calendar – Day 21
(originally written November 21st)
So full disclosure – I’m drinking this at room temperature. I have been knitting like mad trying to get some Christmas gifts done, and was knitting so intently that I forgot to drink my tea! XP Oopsies. I prefer tea warm rather than hot anyway, so no biggie for me.
Hm, this doesn’t taste much like mulled wine to me. There’s a bubblegum-esque flavor to it, which is odd and ruins the effect a bit. I do taste some tart fruit-ish notes behind the bubblegum. I’m not sure there’s really any spice though.
A bit disappointing, as I was looking forward to this one.

This tea lacks actual wine. Those of you who thought you could have spiked tea on the clock are going to be disappointed. Or, at least, I was. “It was tea, boss! I didn’t KNOW!”
What this tea DOES have is black tea (my bae), beet root (probably the source of the color & flavor), orange (citrus zing!), and malva blossoms (attractive!).
