Let’s Get Brewing!

I sort of cheated this week and popped in for a tasting so they brewed it for me ! Plus I just love there glass tea pots and tea light warmers.

The brewed liquid is that of a bright red colouring very much like rudolphs nose.

Let’s Get Sipping!

First sip and I am hooked.

I love Mulled Wine and this is very much the next best thing. Perfect for anyone and everyone and I’m sure you could even infuse your own bottle of red wine this blend too!

It’s fruity and rich, the apple and hibiscus work perfectly together bringing an almost Berry taste to the tea. Mixed with “the acid” brings an almost orangery taste to the blend. As well as bringing the tangy after sip and taste sensation.

Alongside the Chicory root bring extra depth and the flavouring for the spiced tones of the blend working all together ro bring the Mulled side to the brew.

All I need now is a roaring fire and some where cosy to warm up and relax for the perfect winter season brew.

Happy Sipping 🙂
