Davidson's Organics, Herbal Christmas Tea, Loose Leaf Tea, 16-Ounce Bag

I actually found myself saying "It's like Christmas in my mouth!" when describing the flavor. There's really no better way to describe it. The clove is a tiny bit strong for my liking but not so strong o knock it down a star. I suggest drinking it hot with a dash of heavy cream and a teaspoon of sugar. It's like dessert. I love my tea and I struggle with the caffeine content bc I'm breast feeding but lucky for me this (and all red/ rooibos teas) is caffeine free. I strongly suggest this tea.The bag is another reason to love the tea. It comes in a re sealable bag that keeps it fresh for up to a year (which is good since I got a whole pound!)

Do you know that feeling you get when something makes you really, really happy, so happy you can't stop smiling? I get this happiness overload when I smell honeysuckle, run through the grass barefoot or eat juicy peaches or chill crunchy apples - and while drinking Davidson's Herbal Christmas tea. The smell of this tea is lovely, but it does have a slightly overpowering cinnamon smell. When brewed, the mint in the tea balances out the cinnamon to create a hot/icy sensation in one's mouth. I brewed 1.5 tsp in a little over a cup of not-quite boiling water, and the flavor is beautifully subtle, not overpowering. This tea is surprisingly sweet, perfect by itself. I'm used to buying tea of this quality for about $12 for 2 oz, not 1lb. The double-layer bag was bigger than I expected, with a ziplock like closure at the top to keep the tea fresh. Over all, I think this was one of the best purchases I've ever made.

I was surprised when i've opened the bag, such a powerful aroma. And its taste is even better...Be sure you like cinnamon and cloves, because the aroma is quite powerful. But it's balanced by the mint and the orange peels and this is what makes this tea so good. It doesn't even needs sugar, because it's kind of sweet by itself.The price is very good, considering the quality and how much you get for the price. Even the bag is quality made, aluminium inside and air tight sealed; it also has a plastic zipper, so you can reseal the bag every time (though i don't think it will be completely air tight, as it's when you first open the bag).

You must like cinnamon to drink this tea! Not necessarily overpowering, but pretty strong. I personally like the mix of citrus, cinnamon, and roobios, also the clove adds a bit of a spicy note to this mix. I'm having to eliminate caffeine and this tea has definitely made my life easier, sometimes I add some chamomile, but most of the time I brew it strong. It can get bitter if left to steep too long due to the citrus peels, but with a little practice you can get it just right for your taste.

I order quite a few Davidson's teas, (love the large bulk bags), and have discovered several wonderful blends and their decaf green cannot be beat, but this one batch was not what I have received before. I have loved the 4 previous shipments but this one last bag I tried several times brewing several ways and every time I could not swallow it. It had a very unpleasant chemical taste, and the tea base itself did not look like Rooibos. I have found Davidson's teas uneven at times, but Herbal Christmas was both the very best and the very worst I have received from them. I may try it again, but it was a great deal of tea to waste.

This tea was a delightful surprise. Super economical, and it has a delicious fresh flavor. Also the bag seals airtight which is great. Awesome festive tea!

I’m a tea lover and this is one of the best ones I have ever had and the fact that It’s decaffeinated makes it even better!

I know some people are not a fan of this tea but I enjoy it mixed with an oolong tea...very balanced taste. I added cinnamon because I enjoy it so much but I realize that some people do not so I will say do not buy this tea if you do not like cinnamon!
