Untangle the holiday lights, turn on the jingles and get out your Christmas-themed mugs (this is the only time you can use them!) – December is finally here! As you take time to meet your friends and family over the holidays, here is a list of winter teas and other gifts in beautiful hampers to add yuletide cheer to the festive season. As you might know the Christmas flavours of nutmeg, peppermint, cinnamon, peppercorn, ginger and cardamom taste even better when you enjoy it on a cold winter’s day.
Ginger Tea
Do you enjoy decorating Gingerbread houses during the Christmas season? The warm aroma infused with cinnamon, ginger and honey always makes the season extra special! Ginger tea has the same powers too, except that it’s deliciousness that can only be contained by a teacup. Amp up the festive cheer by gifting Ginger Chai and plenty other Ginger flavours from Octavius Teas.
Cardamom Tea
Cardamom is a quintessential Christmas ingredient in Germany where Christmas cookies are baked with it since the Middle Ages. In India of course, Cardamom is more for desserts and other savoury cooking. Cardamom tea, however, is a desi drink that has all the Christmas feels. If you know friends who love this spice, then go ahead and get them, Cardamom Chai. Octavius has a variety of cardamom teas from instant premixes to tea blends containing spices such as Ginger, etc besides the Cardamom to choose from.
Sweet and Spicy Teas
Natural Cinnamon and Star Anise are ingredients that lend a sweet yet spicy twist to the tea. Tea Essentials-Sweet & Spicy containing Cinnamon & Star Anise Green Tea, tea infuser and an adorable mini honey jar is the gift to go for if you are looking for a cute gifting set.
