Épices de Noël

I brewed this on a chilly Sunday and the cloves hit first, then the apple and cinnamon settle in without any fake sweetness. The black tea base keeps it from tasting like watered-down cider. Already reordered a second tin.

The jasmine adds a soft floral note underneath the apple and cinnamon that I didn't expect, and it makes the whole cup feel more balanced than your average spice blend. I've been brewing a pot every evening since it arrived, and the cloves give it just enough warmth without going bitter.
