Brew & Taste

Winter Tale tea has a dark orange to mahogany color and smells sweet and fruity. Of course, you'll also find traces of cinnamon and vanilla in its aroma. The taste is similar. The overall impression is honey-sweet, with a touch of juicy citrus, cinnamon and vanilla. If you focus on the flavor, you may discover attractive traces of almonds.

Origins

Winter Tale tea brings together ingredients from different corners of the world, but only three of them play a major part in defining its character. Each adds a different dimension – from a smooth, honey-like note to fruity freshness and warming spices. Let’s take a closer look at them so you know exactly what’s in your cup.

Rooibos forms the base of the entire blend. It consists of delicate, needle-like leaves and twigs from the redbush tree, which grows exclusively in the mountainous regions of South Africa. At first glance, it appears unassuming – these thin, reddish needles only take on a characteristic mahogany color after fermentation. The plant thrives in dry, sunny conditions and specific soil, which is why it cannot be grown anywhere else in the world.

It contains:

• polyphenols (antioxidants),
• flavonoids (aspalathin),
• minerals (iron, magnesium, calcium),
• vitamin C.

The second prominent ingredient is apple, specifically roasted apple pieces. These add a natural sweetness and a slight caramel note to the blend. Apple fruits are round in shape, with thin skin ranging in color from green to red and juicy flesh. Apple trees are grown in temperate regions around the world – from Europe through Asia to North America, where they thrive in orchards with plenty of sun and moisture.

It contains:

• pectins,
• vitamins (vitamin C and B vitamins),
• polyphenols,
• natural fruit sugars.

And finally, cinnamon – specifically Ceylon cinnamon – which elegantly warms the entire blend. This spice originates from the bark of the Cinnamomum verum tree, which grows primarily in Sri Lanka and other tropical regions. After harvesting, its thin inner bark is rolled into the characteristic light-brown rolls. It's brittle, delicately layered, and its aroma is sweet, warming, and very complex.

It contains:

• essential oils (cinnamaldehyde),
• antioxidants,
• tannins,
• trace amounts of minerals,
• supports normal digestion.
