Winter Delight Spiced Black Loose Leaf Tea

Our Spiced black loose leaf tea Winter Delight is a warm, comforting blend of black tea, baked apple, cinnamon, ginger, fennel and aniseed, created for cups that feel especially inviting on colder days. Richly aromatic and beautifully balanced, it brings sweet apple and spice to the fore, followed by a gentle ginger warmth and a soft liquorice-like finish that makes every sip feel deeply satisfying.

Spiced Black Loose Leaf Tea with Apple, Cinnamon and Ginger

Winter Delight is a richly flavoured seasonal black tea designed for those moments when an ordinary cup simply will not do. A full-bodied black tea base gives the blend proper depth, while apple and warming spices create a rounded, cosy flavour that feels generous without becoming heavy.

From the first aroma to the final sip, this is a tea made to slow the pace a little — perfect for dark afternoons, festive gatherings or quiet mornings when something more comforting is called for.

Sweet Baked Apple and Warming Spice

Apple pieces bring a soft, naturally sweet fruitiness that forms the heart of the blend. Cinnamon adds familiar festive warmth, while ginger contributes a gentle glow that builds pleasantly through the cup.

Fennel seeds and aniseed complete the flavour with a subtle liquorice-like sweetness, giving the finish extra smoothness and depth. The result is aromatic, balanced and full of character.

A Festive Black Tea with Real Body

In the cup, Winter Delight brews to a deep amber liquor with an inviting spiced aroma that fills the room. The black tea remains clearly present beneath the flavourings, giving the infusion enough body to feel satisfying and substantial.

Safflower petals add a touch of visual warmth to the dry blend, making this a tea that looks as appealing as it tastes.

Delicious Black or with a Splash of Milk

Served without milk, the apple and spice notes come through most clearly, making the cup feel bright, fragrant and warming. Add a small splash of milk and the blend softens into something rounder and more indulgent.

It is a tea that suits the colder months particularly well, though anyone who enjoys spiced black teas may find it appealing throughout the year.

How to Brew Winter Delight Spiced Black Tea

Use freshly boiled water at 95°C to 100°C and add one heaped teaspoon per cup. Steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on how rich and spiced you prefer the infusion.

A shorter brew keeps the apple and cinnamon brighter. A longer steep gives more depth from the black tea, ginger, fennel and aniseed. Enjoy black for a clearer spice profile, or with a small dash of milk for a softer finish.
