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

Jason ★★★★★

The orange and cinnamon come through beautifully without the tea turning bitter, even after letting it steep a few minutes longer than I should have. That subtle dark chocolate undertone really rounds out the spice—perfect for a cold afternoon mug.

George ★★★★★

Brewed a pot after dinner and the star anise really comes through warm and spicy, not at all overpowering. That hint of dark chocolate in the finish is what makes it feel like a cozy end-of-day treat.

Penelope ★★★★★

The orange and cinnamon balance each other perfectly, and that hint of dark chocolate makes it feel like a cozy winter treat. I've been brewing a cup every evening since it arrived, and the aroma alone is enough to warm up the kitchen.
