T’was the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring – except for old St. Nick as he stirred a dash of sugar into his hot cup of tea, left out for him by a thoughtful child in place of the traditional milk and cookies. Considering the volume of milk Santa drinks on Christmas night, it’d do him well to replace a glass with a cup of antioxidant rich, high-grown black tea. 😀

This is especially true when the blend includes sumac berries, thought to be effective in regulating cholesterol and reducing blood sugar, and red plum petals, thought by some practitioners of Chinese medicine to help treat gastritis and gastric ulcers.

Reminiscent of dipping an English biscuit into a warm glass of milk; satisfying creamy sweet flavor. Rich and robust, this blend opens beautifully with a dash of sugar and dare we say it, a splash of milk. This Christmas eve, do Santa and everyone else in the house a seasonal favor and brew a fresh pot. The old guy will love you for it.
