This tea is lovely, toasty and evokes images and scents of a more ‘classic’ Christmas. The cloves and almonds definitely give it body. It has distinct fruity notes with the orange and apple pieces but because it’s quite strong you really don’t need to brew it for more than three minutes.
It’s quite spicy and has a hint of marzipan, making it a wonderful wintery blend.

While waiting for another kettle tea-twitter will be an outlet for me.
After all that, I suppose the only question left is:
More tea, vicar?
