Organic Christmas Tea Trio in Glass Bottles

Each bottle goes its own way, from fruity and warming to cocoa and spice. The label colour tells the blends apart at a glance.

• Noël Majestueux: apple, cinnamon and ginger, purple label with golden stars
• Noël Merveilleux: rooibos, cinnamon and orange, red label with golden stars
• Noël Somptueux: cocoa, cinnamon and turmeric, green label with golden stars
• Loose infusion with no added flavourings, all ingredients organically grown
• Glass bottles with natural corks, reusable
• Wooden box with a brown ribbon, also reusable

The bottles hold loose tea, so you will want a teapot with a strainer basket or a separate tea strainer. Each bottle holds a single blend, so apple, rooibos and cocoa stay neatly apart. Cinnamon runs through all three blends and ties the set together.

The natural corks close the bottles again after every scoop. Glass and cork stay with you once the tea is used up, and the wooden box can be kept as well. According to the manufacturer, the set is packed without plastic.

The set is for people who appreciate loose leaf tea and for anyone looking for an edible gift at Christmas or during Advent that does not look like standard fare. As a host gift it needs no preparation, because the box with its ribbon can be handed over as it is.

With three blends in one box, you are likely to hit the right note even without knowing the recipient's taste in detail. Anyone who leans towards fruit will reach for Noël Majestueux, while a sweet and spicy palate tends towards Noël Somptueux.

The box is ready to give: ribbon on top, labels in purple, red and green, nothing else required. If you want to treat several people, you can hand out the three bottles separately, each a small gift in its own right.

A tea strainer or a teapot with a strainer basket makes a good companion gift for someone who has only ever used bags. If you keep the box yourself, you have three blends to choose from rather than a single flavour. And anyone who pays attention to packaging will appreciate glass, cork and wood instead of plastic.
