Scintillating Spiced Teas for Thanksgiving and Beyond

Cozying up by the fireplace is perhaps our favorite fall pastime. As the leaves come down and the weather freezes up, a certain holiday mood springs up on us. First up, it's Thanksgiving! By now, Thanksgiving lovers are certainly used to the bland apple pies and basic pumpkin spice latte dominating the season. November has become synonymous with fruit pies, marshmallows, and turkey. On the beverage side, many embrace beer and eggnog, and for the kids, hot cocoa. But what about the more elevated and sophisticated fall beverage – tea?

When most people think about tea, their minds go straight to simple black teas or chamomile for sleep. They might think about green tea for health and a floral tea like jasmine for a relaxing option. But this season, it's all about teas with a strong kick or an earthy balance to get us into the Thanksgiving spirit. Heavenly Tea Leaves has stocked up with an incredible selection of titillating cool-weather teas.

Why tea, why now? First of all, it's hot. Literally. While you're struggling to stay warm under a few fleece blankets, nothing is quite as comforting as a bubbling cup of tea to bring your body to life. Second, it's warm – figuratively and kind of literally! Flavors like ginger and cinnamon serve to "warm" your palate and body. Containing natural antioxidants, these spices not only have a natural warmth to their flavor, but they also have been shown to improve blood flow, relax muscles, and aid digestion. Third, it's something new and exciting to serve your guests and yourself! Instead of focusing on typical Thanksgiving menu items, try setting up a tea station where your guests can choose their favorite seasonal tea to enjoy with their meal or to complement a sweet dessert. No doubt, the tea-focused host or hostess always leaves guests impressed! And last, these teas are incredibly tasty, even on their own. The herbs and spices used in fall-friendly teas are among the most sought after in the world and have been imported from the orient since the days of the Silk Road. The richness of their flavor is not comparable to typical supermarket teas.

So, of all the autumnal tea options, which do we select? Of course, at Heavenly Tea Leaves, we can never choose just one. Our unique tea blends often showcase a single, main ingredient as a leading flavor. Here, we have grouped this season's most beloved teas by essential flavor. But we can't promise you'll be satisfied with just a sip!

 

Ginger

Turmeric Ginger is an herbal tea rooted in ginger and turmeric; this is a great pre-bedtime option.

Crowd favorite Ginger Peach White is a lightly caffeinated tea with a delicate, fruity start and a zesty, tingly finish. An organic option that lends energy as well as a classic, unadulterated ginger flavor is Ginger Black.

Cinnamon

If you are loyal to earthy and floral tastes like rosemary, fennel, and lavender, Ginger Jazz will lend the velvety and naturally sweet flavor you seek. And on the darker side, Spiced Turmeric is a black tea featuring a number of fall spices blended with holy basil for a dash of freshness. As you may have observed in recent years, turmeric tea blends are on the rise; the spice has been revered for its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Chai (Both Cinnamon and Ginger)

For a more exotic chai than the standard, try Rooibos Cream Chai, which adds a number of herbs and spices into the mix. If you are looking for an even spicier flavor thats bold, choose Turmeric Chili Chai, an herbal tea with notes of turmeric, cinnamon, and other warming ingredients.

 

With so many types of tea up our sleeve, it's no wonder our signature Heavenly Tea Leaves tea samplers are the talk of the internet this holiday season! Instead of trying to pick just one or two of these glorious holiday teas, get four or even nine varieties for the season!

From the team at Heavenly Tea Leaves, we wish you an enchanting, love-filled, and absolutely delicious Thanksgiving.
