An annual favourite Review by ['Mava']
We have been ordering this tea for years. It’s an annual stocking stuffer. It is more smooth than other Christmas teas I’ve tried and the spicing is warm and comforting. I have a collection of the tins as part of my Christmas decor!

I discovered this a few years ago, and I always start checking in September to see if it's available yet. For me, this is more of an afternoon/evening tea, I love when on a cold & blustery night I brew a cup, add local honey and cream and sit wrapped in a blanket and watch the weather while I'm all cosy. This tea reminds me of "home" and makes me happy. It is like a chai, but not - maybe a mix of orange spice, chai and vanilla? It is just the best tea that I get from Murchie's!

I first tried this over twenty years ago while I was living in White Rock, BC. Still my favourite and always try to keep enough tea in my pantry to last me through the holidays. I now leave in Ontario and will keep this tradition going with my extended family.

Not a fan of flavored teas, but this is the exception. Hint of orange, spice and vanilla plus a base of fine black tea makes a cozy cuppa for wintery mornings or evenings tucked under blankets. It is a tradition now in our home.

Steeping the Best (Guide)
Different types of teas should be steeped according to certain times and water temperatures to bring out their best flavours. Use this guide as a starting point, and then experiment until you find the perfect brewing method for your favourite tea.
Based on approximately one level teaspoon (2.5 g) of loose tea or one tea bag per 6-8 ounce (180-240 mL) cup. For stronger flavour, add more tea. Brewing for longer may increase the strength of the tea, but will likely also cause bitterness.
Tea Bags vs. Loose Tea
While our tea bags and loose tea are crafted to match the same flavour profile, there are discernable effects between the two formats. Namely, the leaves inside tea bags is milled, making it much finer and a quicker brew, while loose tea can take a couple minutes longer to steep. Tea bags are very convenient, but loose tea can be more visually appealing and brewed with a reusable infuser.
- Tea bags: steep for 3 - 4 minutes
- Loose tea: steep for 4 - 5 minutes
General Steeping Temperatures
The table included here shows some general guidelines for steeping different kinds of tea. Be mindful that some teas, even two from the same category, will brew differently than others. In particular, our green-black blends will often have different ratios of green and black teas - the more green-leaning ones should be brewed at a lower temperature range. Experimentation is highly encouraged, as tea is very much a matter of personal taste.
Puerh and oolong teas are often steeped multiple times for a shorter period of time in smaller brewing vessels. This method creates a curious exploration of the tea as it unfurls, developing new flavours with each subsequent brew - often making for great social conversation.
If you're unsure, try steeping in the middle range for your tea type. If the result is too bitter, steep at a lower temperature or for a shorter time. If the result is flat, try a higher temperature.
