11 Terrific Winter Teas That Will Make You Warm
Outstanding Cozy Teas That Make the Season Rich and Vibrant
What are your favorite flavors during winter? Spices — like cinnamon, allspice, cardamom, and clove — add a special warmth to desserts, dishes, and tea. And ripened fruits of the season — like pears and pomegranate — sing alongside the pungent aromas of orange and citrus.
Winter-inspired teas feature some of the best combinations of spice and fruit that are not only delicious but serve as a warm addition to your daily routine. These months can be brisk and a hot pot of tea is one of the best ways to warm up and replenish your energy and mind. Here are some winter-inspired teas that can serve as a lovely afternoon pick-me-up, an after-dinner dessert, or even a calm and replenishing treat before bed.
One of the signature notes in Earl Grey is bergamot, which comes from a fragrant sweet citrus orange. It’s one of the most popular teas in the Western world and it can be enjoyed with the addition of milk and sugar. If you want to enhance the wintery citrus flavor, add a slice of orange or lemon to your cup of tea. This traditional blend of Earl Grey is visually stunning and has marigold flower petals that contrast nicely with the deep dark hue of the Assam leaves.
If you love the sweet and decadent flavors of caramel and almond, this black tea might be your new favorite treat. It’s a rich blend of Assam black tea sourced from small and sustainable Fair Trade Certified farms. This dessert-like tea will keep you warm and comfortable in chilly weather and it’s delightful to pair with after-dinner treats — or you can enjoy it on its own!
If you love cinnamon, this chai black tea is a must-have for the chilly winter season. Freshly ground cinnamon and cardamom blend effortlessly with Assam black tea that is both sweet and spicy. With ginger, clove, and black pepper undertones, you can’t go wrong in choosing this tea to add to your winter pantry. For a traditional take on chai, heat up one part milk with two parts of strongly steeped tea and add sugar or honey to enjoy a wintery dessert-like treat.
If the strong spices of winter sweep you up and make you smile, this chai tea will certainly do the same. Clove, star anise, cardamom, ginger, and pink pepper are blended with orange pieces and quality black tea from India’s Nilgiri region in the southwest. It’s a region that’s known for harvesting intense, aromatic, and quality tea that is well-balanced. You can enjoy this pungent spicy tea on its own or with milk and sugar or honey.
Citrus might be king in winter, but pear is a buttery and sweet fruit that’s a fantastic complement to tea. Pear pieces and ginger add a delicate layer to this mildly citrus tea. It’s delicious as both a hot tea and an iced tea and it has very little caffeine. A nice cup of hot ginger pear tea is comforting and calming. But it’s also satisfying in a warm cozy home or next to a blazing fire as a cup of chilled winter iced tea. If you steep this iced, consider adding some fresh pear slices or even some fresh ginger for a rejuvenating and refreshing experience.
Another beautiful and stunning fruit that is packed with flavor in the wintertime is the pomegranate. This bejeweled and gorgeous fruit is blended with white tea to give you a delicate and subtle flavor that not only tastes magnificent but is also good for you. Background notes of cranberry and rose petals round out this wintery tea that’s perfect as a mellow afternoon pick-me-up.
If you are a fan of warm apple pie and apple tarts this lightly caffeinated tea is a brilliant blend of spice and comfort. You’ll find its delicate flavor both soothing and sweet. Apple pieces, vanilla pieces, and ginger blend with undertone flavors of lemon balm, orange oil, and lemongrass. Are you searching for a tea to replace your dessert, or a calming tea to enjoy before bed? White Vanilla Apple might become your new favorite after-dinner winter blend.
If you love the spices of traditional chai but want to stay away from caffeine, this herbal tea blend will check off all of your boxes. Rooibos herbal tea leaves are blended with cinnamon, ginger, vanilla, cardamom, and lemongrass, making this a perfect base as a chai substitute. Enjoy this robust winter-spice tea on its own, or with the addition of milk and sugar.
When you think of winter teas you want something that is going to soothe and calm you. If you love the relaxing effects of chamomile tea, this blend will be a go-to for not only winter but the months and seasons throughout the year. This herbal tea is 100% caffeine free and highlights the apple-like flavor of Egyptian chamomile flower blossoms mixed with the citrus tones of winter and a dash of peppermint.
If you’re searching for a soothing and calming tea, this caffeine-free herbal tea blend is ideal for any time of day — including right before bed. Spearmint, ginger, and citrus mix with the natural sweetness of pure lemongrass that can be enjoyed both hot or iced. Unwind at the end of a brisk day with a hot cup of steaming and antioxidant-rich herbal tea.
You will enjoy all of the winter spices and flavors in this scrumptious herbal tea. Organic apple, ginger, and citrus pieces are mixed with cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, turmeric, and clove to create an unforgettable combination that tastes just like winter. Steep a large hot cup of spicy and fruity tea that embodies the essence and aroma of the season.
