Christmas Tea Blends and Festive Coffees

Christmas tea blends bring warming spices and fruit flavours to your usual cup. At It's Tea in Parkstone, Poole, our festive collection includes black teas, Gingerbread Sencha, rooibos and fruit infusions, alongside flavoured coffees. You can explore the range online or visit the shop for help choosing a blend.

Which Christmas tea blends suit black tea drinkers?

Choose a festive black tea if you enjoy a full-flavoured cup with fruit and warming spice. Our Christmas collection includes five black tea blends, each with its own mix of ingredients.

Classical Christmas combines a Ceylon black tea base with cinnamon, apple, vanilla and sliced almonds. It is a good place to start if you want familiar Christmas flavours in a traditional black tea.

Christmas Stollen Black Tea brings sultanas, orange peel and almond marzipan drops to the cup. Santa Berry Black Tea takes a fruitier route, with cranberry, strawberry and raspberry pieces alongside orange, cardamom and sliced almonds.

For citrus and spice, try Orange Cookie Black Tea, with orange slices, cinnamon, ginger and cloves. Magical Christmas Black Tea combines apple and pear with cinnamon, pistachios and colourful festive sprinkles.

Which Christmas teas are caffeine free?

Rooibos and fruit infusions give you festive flavour without the black or green tea base. Rooibos Christmas Scent is an aromatic choice, with apple, orange and cinnamon alongside cardamom and cloves.

Gingerbread Men’s Christmas Wishes Rooibos is a sweeter option, with cream caramel pieces, hazelnut brittle and gingerbread-shaped sugar decorations. This blend contains hazelnuts and milk, so check the ingredients before choosing it as a gift.

For a fruity cup, Christmas Berry Fruit Infusion combines strawberry with cinnamon, ginger and star anise. Hot Elderberry Fruit Infusion pairs elderberries with apple, hibiscus and cinnamon.

Santa’s Sweet Cinnamon Bun brings together apple, cinnamon, ginger, rooibos and roasted buckwheat for a cake-like winter infusion. Mulled Wine Fruit Infusion combines fruit with orange slices, cinnamon and cloves. Its allergen information lists celery seed oil.

Is there a green tea for Christmas?

Gingerbread Sencha is the green tea option in our Christmas collection. It combines green tea with apple, orange and spices including cinnamon, cardamom and cloves.

Brew Gingerbread Sencha at 75 to 80°C for two to four minutes, as its product page recommends. This cooler water temperature gives you a different preparation from the black teas and fruit infusions below.

Which festive coffee should I choose?

Choose Chocolate Orange Coffee for chocolate flavour with a citrus note, or Caramelised Chestnut Coffee for a sweet, nutty flavour. Hazelnut and Cinnamon Coffee and Chocolate and Cinnamon Coffee offer two different takes on warming spice.

Christmas Coffee is the plum and cinnamon option in our range. Chocolate Rum Coffee combines chocolate, rum and cream flavour notes with Arabica coffee. These are flavour descriptions; check the product information and ask us about any dietary requirements.

Each of these coffees currently offers whole beans and grind options for cafetière, espresso, metal filter, paper filter and Turkish preparation. Select the grind that suits the equipment you use at home.

How do I brew loose leaf Christmas tea?

Follow the instructions for the individual blend. A green tea needs different treatment from a black tea, and the fruit infusions do not all share the same brewing time. The guide below follows the current product pages.

Use an infuser, a teapot with an infuser, or a paper tea filter that gives the leaf room to open. For the amount of tea to use, follow the packet instructions or ask our shop team.

What makes a good Christmas tea gift?

Start with the kind of drink the recipient already enjoys. A black tea drinker might appreciate Classical Christmas or Christmas Stollen, while a coffee lover could try Chocolate Orange Coffee. Rooibos Christmas Scent is an option for someone choosing a caffeine free drink.

Pair a pouch with a tea caddy or an infuser from our accessories collection. Before buying for someone with an allergy, read the ingredients for every item. Classical Christmas, Christmas Stollen and Santa Berry list almonds; Magical Christmas lists pistachios. Other blends have their own allergen information.
