It’s that time of year again, where colorful cookies replace meals, your stockings are hung by the chimney with care, and festive teas start making the scene. Think cinnamon, chocolate, toasted nuts and dark fruits. It’s almost as if your holiday meal is in a cup, especially when you talk about dessert. Keep warm with a mug of seasonal tea while you deck the halls and make everything merry and bright.

Blender: Arbor TeasArbor Tea-Holiday Spice by Linnea Covington
Type: Organic Indian black tea with orange, cinnamon and clove
Aroma: Dark and rich, like a swath of velvet used to hold spices and fresh oranges.

Tips: Make sure to time this blend, three minutes is plenty to extract all the flavors and keep the tannins at bay.
