Christmas Eve Tea

This one is made by Stash.

Flavor: Earthy, slightly spicy, with a sweet aftertaste. Even after a long steep time, it is not overwhelmingly earthy or spicy. It is a pleasant blend of tastes that is not "too much" of any one thing.

Suggested Additions: I grabbed the honey just in case, but in the end I never put it in. Honey, I feel, would enhance the spicy flavor just a bit but I found it not lacking in anything so I decided not to try and fix something that wasn't broken.

Ingredients: Cinnamon, orange peel, spearmint, and natural flavors of vanilla, orange, cinnamon, and clove.

Purpose: This tea is a bit warming because of the spices and earthiness. Also it has no caffeine, so it is appropriate for Christmas Eve when you are ready to hop into bed and get an early start when the kids wake you up at 4 am to see what Santa brought.
