Mulled Wine

For this blend Whittard uses Apple (34%), Hibiscus (30%), Sweet Blackberry Leaves, Apple Pomace, Roasted Chicory Root (6%), Acid (Citric Acid), Flavouring.

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 🙂

Whittard – Mulled wine

Yes It may be the new year but I’m still feeling festivey! Plus it’s my birthday tomorrow so I need to cram in as much of Christmas before it’s too late !

So here’s raising a mug of mulled wine ! Not the booze silly, the brew.

It’s an aromatic fruity sensation and I can’t wait to brew it up !!!!

The liquid is a dark bright red and oozes richness. Basically it’s the same colour of the wine!

As a non drinker it is as close to wine that I’m going to get it. It’s surprisingly life like if that makes sense. It’s a taste sensation it’s the fruity spiced and rich just what you want to from a mulled wine ! Well without the headache !

This tea is the perfect alternative to real mulled wine and definitely warms the soul.

Happy Sipping
