Autumn in a Teacup

It’s that time of year again! The nights are getting longer, there’s a chill in the air, and it’s time to dig out our wellies and cagoules. We might as well forget the Indian summer, so often predicted, and embrace the colourful new season of autumn.

As the colour of the trees begins to change, so do out palates, and we yearn for deeper flavours, soothing brews and warming sensations. Autumn is an exciting time when cosy begins and a need for wellbeing and comfort sets in.

Like wine or chocolate, tea can be subjective, but we believe that everyone goes through stages eating or drinking certain flavours in line with the seasons.

Autumnal flavours and aromas can range greatly from warming apple to indulgent chocolate nuances. Flavours can be rich but also enlivening, warming orange and cinnamon can revive but also comfort. At this time of year, we crave deeper notes from teas like Assam, fragrant Earl Greys and smoky Russian Caravan. Chai Tea blends are also high on our list of go-to teas, with or without the addition of milk and sugar. The aromatic spices such as clove, anise or pepper can soothe a cold and wake up sluggish tendencies.

Here at Cup of Tea, we have a delightful collection of teas to enliven, warm and excite the palate.

Spice Lovers’ Tea

This amazing Limited Edition Spicy Caramel Chai is a lively blend of green and black loose-leaf tea with caramel and spices. It's lightly spiced with a sweet melting caramel finish. We love it hot but think that cold as an iced tea offers a more intense taste experience.

Hints of Chocolate Teas
