Christmas isn’t complete without a performance of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker. You probably didn’t think it was possible to make a tea out of a ballet, but that didn’t stop us! A caffeine-free rooibos plays host to flavors of marzipan, cocoa, plum, and peppermint, while decorative candies in the shape of snowflakes and silver balls dissolve in the hot water to give the drink a nice sweetness.

Nutcracker is a really nice blend of flavors. I always look forward to ordering this when it is available.
This tea is the favorite of myself and my entire family. I stock up on pounds when we are going to Indiana to visit the in-laws.
I live in Michigan, so from October to April I get basically all of my hydration from hot tea. This one I usually save for when I have a moment to sit and read; it always reminds of the specific book I was reading when I first drank it. It's such a cozy, delightful tea and it doesn't keep me up at night, since there is no caffeine...but it always hits the spot when I crave tea with milk.
I am loving my Nutcracker tea for the second time and I am sorry that it's seasonal!!! I guess I'll just have to wait until the holidays to enjoy it again. Thank you for a wonderful blend.
My family had high tea that weekend before Christmas and we tried four different kinds of the London tea room tea. The Nutcracker stood out and I ordered a pound of it to send with my nephew and his wife back to Australia. She texted me a picture of her drinking it and she’s so happy to have that to remind her of our lovely time together at Christmas.
