HAPPY CHRISTMAS

hello everyone

ADVENTEA day 24

Mulled Spice
There's nothing quite like the excitement of Christmas drawing near.  Cupboards fill up with mysterious once-a-year treats, wafts of cinnamon, orange peel and cloves start to fill the air.  These special aromas go wonderfully well with tea.
This tea has lovingly combined malty full-bodied black tea from Assam with some special Christmas flavours, to create a perfect blend for a cold winter afternoon.
Enjoy a pot with the family and a mince pie... or two!

Brewing Tips:
Use boiling water
Let it draw for 3 to 5 minutes (or to your taste) to release all of the flavour
Best with a good splash of milk and a little sugar to bring out the lovely spicy flavours

ADVENTEA day 23

Sunshine Grey
Earl Grey with a splash of sunshine... It's like inviting the Earl's lively little sister over to brighten up your day.
Bright amber in colour, it's the perfect tea from our Earl Grey tea family if you prefer your tea without milk. It's the light zingy flavour of lemons that inspires that wakey-wakey-rise-and-shine feeling.

Brewing Tips:
Use boiling water
Let it draw for 3 to 5 minutes (or to your taste) to release all of the flavour
This light, delicately citrus tea is best drunk without milk (a slice of lemon is great) or with just a touch of milk

ADVENTEA day 22

Rooibos, Strawberry and Vanilla
Everything's better when the sun's shining. This blended tea has the taste of three special ingredients which only grow when it's sunny: rooibos, creamy rich vanilla, and the juiciest, reddest strawberries.
Together, they make a russet-red infusion with a delicate, soothing taste. It's glowing with the memory of sunnier days.

Brewing Tips:
Use boiling water
Let it draw for 3 to 5 minutes (or to your taste) to release all of the flavour
All infusions are drunk without milk ... but you can add a splash of milk to this one - a great "normal" tea replacement!

ADVENTEA day 21

Darjeeling
Darjeeling in North East India isn't easy to get to. Even the famous antique toy-train has to wind its way carefully through valleys and round mountains. But it's worth it for the region's speciality: tea. The altitude gives Darjeeling its light, delicate taste and shimmering gold colour.  Take a sip and escape the world on a journey of your own.

Brewing Tips:
Use boiling water
Let it draw for 3 to 5 minutes (or to your taste) to release all of the flavour
This delicate tea is best drunk black or with just a touch of milk

ADVENTEA day 19

yes I know the date is wrong on this picture

Chai
Once upon a time, Chai was drunk only by the royalty in India. But word got out about its spicy, soothing flavour & soon the streets were filled with the distinctive scent of cinnamon, ginger and cloves.
Chai is perfect at any time of day, but particularly in the afternoon. Invite some friends round and share the secret all over again.

Brewing Tips:
Use boiling water
Let it draw for 3 to 5 minutes (or to your taste) to release all of the flavour
Best with a splash of milk and is great when sweetened to bring out the spicey flavour!
