My New Favorite
The mixture of the tart cranberry and cloves is pure perfection. This is my new favorite tea!
Our favorite holiday teas are now joined by an organic herbal alternative! Soon to be a new favorite, this Fair Trade Certified caffeine-free tisane makes a deliciously fruity and tart, spicy and sweet cup of tea for the winter. Brewing up a bright red, organic hibiscus is paired with warming cinnamon, cardamom and clove to create a lightly spicy cup. We then blend in real cranberries and currants for a wonderfully robust and seasonal cup.
This tea, like our other two holiday teas (Organic Holiday Spice Black Tea and Organic Decaf Holiday Spice Black Tea), is only available during the holiday season, while supplies last.
Ingredients: organic and Fair Trade Certified hibiscus, organic cinnamon, organic honeybush, organic currants, organic cranberry, organic cardamom, organic cloves, organic lemon peel, organic licorice root, and cranberry, cinnamon and orange flavors.
Our delicious flavored teas use the same top-quality organic tea that we offer in our unflavored varieties, but are blended with pieces of real fruit, spices, flowers, and 100% natural flavors. When blending our teas, our goal is to create a cup that balances the taste of the tea with the flavors of the additional ingredients so that neither one overpowers. All of the natural flavors we use are either extracts taken directly from the botanical ingredient, or extracted using 100% GMO-free grain alcohol as a solvent. You can rest assured that none of the flavors used in our blends are synthetically or artificially derived, and do not use artificial preservatives.
At Arbor Teas, we believe tea should be brewed to suit your personal taste. We’re happy to make recommendations to get you started, but don’t hesitate to experiment! When brewing your tea, your main considerations are tea quantity, water temperature, and steeping time. We recommend herbal and rooibos teas to be steeped for 5 to 7 minutes in water heated to a full rolling boil. For the best flavor, use fresh water whenever possible, and avoid overboiling. If you want a stronger brew, just use more tea. And don’t forget to re-steep your tea leaves to get the most out of your leaf!

"Bright and fresh, the tart tang of the cranberries blends beautifully with the mix of warm spices in this tisane. A perfect after dinner tea for holiday meals. Enjoy while snuggled in your favorite chunky sweater!"
"Serve this tea iced with an extra splash of cranberry juice or apple cider for a festive non-alcoholic party drink. Cheers!"
"This blend was inspired by my mom’s homemade cranberry tea. In my childhood home, winter was synonymous with a HUGE pot of cranberries and cinnamon sticks boiling on the stove! "
The mixture of the tart cranberry and cloves is pure perfection. This is my new favorite tea!
Pleasingly tart and wonderfully soothing as a hot drink. The fragrance of cloves is heavenly. Reminds me of the pomanders we used to make as kids for the holidays: oranges studded all over with cloves. :-)
The taste is great! The cranberry taste is a bit strong which is not too overwhelming after brewing. The spice could be a little stronger though. Bottom line, we do enjoy the tea! And we found mixing a little earl grey can tone down the cranberry flavoring and we like the unique balance we created!
