Best-selling black spiced tea blend is back for the holidays at online tea retailer The Tea Spot. With customers calling months in advance to confirm its return, Tea Specialist Bo Olson prepares new batches of this unique spice tea to launch this week.

The Tea Spot’s Holiday Spice Tea is back in time for the holidays. This is a limited-edition loose tea blend of black tea with orange peel and aromatic holiday spices. The aroma is reminiscent of mulled cider and cinnamon hard candy. It will be available from The Tea Spot in a decorative tin throughout the holiday season, while this limited-time microblend remains in stock.

The Tea Spot’s Tea Specialist, Bo Olson, said “Seasonal changes always offer us a chance to reach out to our customers in new ways, and we cherish the opportunity. We strive year-round to create unique, palate-pleasing blends for a variety of tea drinkers, always keeping in mind the reviews (both good and bad) our customers return to us. Their input is invaluable and their tastes are our primary concern, and we feel lucky to include their feedback in every cup of tea. We hope our blend loving fans will rejoice at the return of our Holiday Tea this fall season.”

With Autumn in full swing, Holiday Spice Tea is a natural choice to steep this season, and perfect to pair with favorite fall recipes. The complementary spices in this cinnamon tea blend are citrus peel and clove oil, which is pleasantly noticeable but not overpowering. Rich layers of orange notes, cinnamon and clove give the black tea base a signature taste and aroma. As a special occasion drink, the Holiday Spice works well at Thanksgiving or Christmas, when the cold nip in the air makes hot spiced tea a welcome aroma to fill the home.

Olson added, “Nothing serves to remind us of the holidays quite like the aroma and flavor of this tea. Its strong cinnamon notes and slightly sweet black tea base make it an exceptional cup to pair with a cold morning or an evening fire. It takes incredibly well to milk, brews strong and compliments the season’s charm with every sip. When I brewed myself a cup of this season’s first batch, it felt as though the holidays had really begun-and that’s a feeling we hope to bring to each of our customers.”
