Category: Flavored Black Tea

Tasting Notes: star anise + cinnamon

Description:  In each sip, you'll find refreshing star anise mingling with zesty orange and aromatic cinnamon.  A tiny touch of dark chocolate adds a hint of sweetness at the finish. This cozy winter tea is wonderful straight up and takes milk, sugar, or honey very well.

This tea is recommended for those that love the wintry fresh taste of star anise and black licorice. A spiced seasonal tea that's as cozy as a winter day spent in a ski lodge. This holiday tea will be available for a limited time only from late October through February - or while supplies last.

If you loved our Winter Spice Tea from years past in our Northport days, this is a very similar blend and we think you'll love it just as much.

Ingredients: black tea, star anise, orange, cinnamon, chocolate

Steep Directions: steep 1 heaping teaspoon of tea per 8 oz boiling water, 205-212°F, for 3-5 minutes

Victoria ★★★★★

The orange and cinnamon swirl together beautifully, and that hint of dark chocolate makes it feel like a cozy winter treat in a mug. I've been brewing it every evening this week and the star anise gives it a unique warmth I haven't found in other chai blends.

That star anise really comes through first, then the cinnamon and a whisper of orange smoothes it all out — it's like a warm hug in a mug. The dark chocolate note isn't heavy, just a cozy finish that makes it perfect for a cold afternoon. Already reaching for this tin over my usual evening tea.

Brewed a pot after dinner and the orange really comes through alongside the anise, which I wasn't expecting. The dark chocolate note is subtle but rounds it all out nicely, and it's got that cozy, fireside feel without being heavy.
