The holiday season is upon us, and with it, cozy evenings spent warming up with a cup of winter tea. Whether you would prefer to stroll around town caroling in the snow or stay inside piled under blankets, relax with a calming cuppa.
When was the last time you went caroling? Every winter, countless communities throughout the world participate in the tradition of caroling to spread holiday cheer through song. So gather your family, friends or neighbors put the kettle on, and prepare your favorite travel mug. We have the perfect Christmas carol-themed holiday tea recommendations for your night on the town!
Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree
“Rockin' around the Christmas tree/ Let the Christmas spirit ring/ Later we'll have some pumpkin pie/ And we'll do some caroling.”
Enjoy a cup of our Pumpkin Spice Chai, rich in holiday flavors with cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg, and plenty of real pumpkin.
It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
“There'll be parties for hosting/ Marshmallows for toasting/ And caroling out in the snow.”
Whether it snows or not, the Earl Grey Crème Vanilla Black Tea, with notes of bergamot and vanilla sweetness, is a toasty dessert tea that pairs well with hot cocoa and marshmallow.
We Wish You a Merry Christmas
“We wish you a merry Christmas/ And a happy New Year!/ Now bring us a figgy pudding/ Now bring us a figgy pudding/ Now bring us a figgy pudding/ And bring some out here.”
Our new Figgy Pudding and Pear Holiday Black Tea pairs well with Christmas carols, considering the old English tradition of gifting refreshments such as figgy pudding to carolers who sang for sweets- the practice that inspired the famous refrain in this song.
Silver & Gold
“Silver and gold/ Silver and gold/ Mean so much more when I see/ Silver and gold decorations/ On every Christmas tree.”
Our premium Yunnan Silver Needle and Yunnan Gold teas are precious gifts to tea drinkers who appreciate high-quality teas, with striking silver and gold leaves that produce a high-quality cup.
The Christmas Song
“Chestnuts roasting on an open fire/ Jack Frost nipping at your nose.”
The famous Dragonwell tea of China, otherwise known as Lung Ching, boasts a distinctive “chestnut” flavor note. If you are a fan of green tea, try sipping a cup of Lung Ching to see if you can detect the hint of chestnut!
Holly Jolly Christmas
“Have a holly jolly Christmas/ It's the best time of the year/ Now I don't know if there'll be snow/ But have a cup of cheer!”
The ideal cup of cheer, of course, is our customers’ favorite aromatic Christmas Tea bursting with flavors of citrus, vanilla, and spice.
Let it Snow
“The fire is slowly dying/ And, dear, we're still goodbying/ But as long as you love me so/ Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.”
To complete our caroling-inspired tea recommendations, we invite you to try our Lapsang Souchong Black Dragon. Smoked over pine needles, this tea conjures the aroma and taste of a wood fire with its warm smoky character.
For those who prefer to curl up inside with a good book and a warm cup of tea, our warming teas and herbs may be enjoyed anytime, anywhere. Try steeping a soothing cup of our caffeine-free Lemon-Ginger Blend Organic for relaxation. You can warm up with a spicy cup of Cinnamon Spice Chai, or wind down with a cooling cup of Peppermint Organic.
We hope you have enjoyed reading our recommendations for hot teas for chilly nights!
