This tea is my favorite holiday blend! I bought some for myself, my mother, and sister and they love it too. My mom asks me to make us both a cup every time I go see her. It has almost a nutty flavor and the spices aren’t overpowering. I would say it definitely tastes like you would want the Nutcracker ballet magic to taste. I love it is caffeinated and this is my new go-to tea when I have a migraine! I hope this blend will always return so I can have a new holiday tradition!
