Its ruby-red hue and lively fruit notes make it a natural centerpiece for winter celebrations. It’s the kind of holiday beverage that instantly feels like a toast to the season.

Why it fits the season:

Its celebratory color and aromatic profile evoke everything we love about the holidays: warmth, cheer, and a touch of sparkle. It’s a blend that’ll bring effortless festive charm to any setting.

Flavor notes & best pairings:

This blend offers a luxurious harmony of berry brightness, orange citrus, hibiscus tang, and subtle sweetness, making it a stunning pairing with holiday desserts, cheese boards, or rich, savory meals.

It also shines as a caffeine-free option for guests who want something flavorful without the buzz.

Ideal moments to enjoy:

Crimson Punch is made for the season’s most heartwarming rituals: trimming the tree, wrapping gifts, enjoying family brunches, or simply savoring a quiet, candlelit moment at the end of a bustling day. Brew it hot for cozy winter evenings or serve it as a festive, jewel-toned iced tea for holiday parties. No matter how you enjoy it, Crimson Punch turns every moment into a celebration.

2. Cool Mint: A Refreshing Winter Classic

While winter often brings rich, spiced flavors, mint cuts through the season with a refreshing clarity. It’s a breath of cool air that feels both invigorating and soothing.

Why mint shines during the holidays:

Amid the indulgence of holiday feasts and sweet treats, mint provides a welcome balance. Its naturally cooling character supports digestion, refreshes the palate, and brings a sense of calm to bustling days. During a season filled with celebration, Cool Mint offers a moment to reset, breathe deeply, and savor a touch of winter’s purity.

Aromatics & tasting notes:

Cool Mint is all about clean, vibrant aromatics. Each sip opens with a bright burst of peppermint, followed by a smooth, lingering coolness that feels both revitalizing and grounding. The flavor is crisp yet comforting, a luxurious herbal infusion that awakens the senses without overwhelming them.

3. Serenity: A Calming Christmas Tea for Cozy Nights

Gentle, grounding, and beautifully restorative, Serenity herbal tea is the Christmas tea you reach for when the holiday rush gives way to quiet moments. Blended with soothing herbs and warm vanilla bean, this comforting infusion invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and savor the softer side of the season.

Soothing herbs for the season:

Serenity is crafted with a curated selection of calming botanicals, the kind that feel like a warm embrace on a winter evening.

Together, these herbs create a cup that embodies the essence of cozy nights and fireside comfort.

Benefits for stress & relaxation:

The holidays may be joyful, but they’re often busy and overstimulating. Serenity helps restore balance. Chamomile supports relaxation and restful sleep, while peppermint can ease tension and soothe the senses. Each sip becomes a quiet ritual and a gentle way to unwind after a long day of festivities, hosting, or last-minute holiday preparations.

Who will love it:

This tea is perfect for anyone who craves calm amid the holiday sparkle. Nighttime tea drinkers, herbal infusion lovers, and those seeking a caffeine-free holiday tea will find Serenity to be the ideal companion. It’s also a thoughtful choice for gifting — a luxurious gesture of peace during the most joyful (and sometimes hectic) time of year.

4. Earl Grey Reserve: A Sophisticated Holiday Twist

Its iconic bergamot essence — bright, citrusy, and beautifully fragrant — feels especially enchanting during the winter season. It’s a polished twist on a beloved classic.

Classic bergamot with a luxe feel:

Earl Grey is already a staple for tea connoisseurs, but Tavalon’s Reserve blend elevates it to new heights. The bergamot is exceptionally smooth and aromatic, weaving citrus notes seamlessly into a rich black tea base. The result is a cup that feels regal yet approachable, perfect for those who appreciate tradition with a hint of modern indulgence.

Great for hosting & gifting:

Few teas impress quite like Earl Grey Reserve. Its familiar elegance appeals to a wide range of palates, making it a sophisticated choice for holiday brunches, afternoon gatherings, or festive dinner parties. Beautifully packaged and universally adored, it also makes a standout Christmas tea gift. It makes a luxurious gesture for hosts, coworkers, or anyone who enjoys a classic with a touch of flair.

Best ways to savor it:

Enjoy Earl Grey Reserve on its own to appreciate its bright, fragrant character, or add a touch of honey or cream for a warming winter treat. It pairs exquisitely with cake, pastries, citrus desserts, and buttery cookies, making it ideal for holiday tea spreads. Whether sipped during a quiet morning ritual or served to guests with holiday flair, Earl Grey Reserve brings undeniable refinement to every moment.

5. Genmaicha: A Warm, Comforting Tea for Winter Moments

A teaspoonful and an open tin of Tavalon Genmaicha green tea, one of the top five holiday teas.

Softly toasted, beautifully balanced, and deeply comforting, Genmaicha is the holiday tea you turn to when winter calls for warmth and serenity. Its signature blend of green tea and roasted brown rice creates a soothing, nostalgic flavor — the kind that feels like being wrapped in a cozy blanket on a cold afternoon.

Toasty, nutty flavors ideal for cold days:

Genmaicha’s hallmark is its harmonious fusion of vegetal green tea and the warm, nutty aroma of roasted rice. The result is a cup that’s simultaneously grounding and uplifting, offering buttery smoothness and gentle toastiness that perfectly complements cool winter air. It’s a delicious departure from traditional Christmas tea spices, bringing its own kind of seasonal comfort.

Wellness benefits:

Beyond its inviting flavor, Genmaicha offers a range of wellness perks ideal for the busy holiday season. The green tea base provides antioxidants and gentle, sustained energy, while the roasted rice adds natural soothing qualities that support digestion and balance. It’s a beautiful choice for those looking to restore calm and warmth amid the seasonal bustle.

How to brew it perfectly:

For the most luxurious cup, brew Genmaicha with care. Use 1 teaspoon (or 2–3 grams) of tea per 8 oz of water. Heat your water to 175°F–185°F (80°C–85°C) to preserve the delicate green tea notes. Steep for 2–3 minutes, adjusting to taste for a lighter or fuller flavor. Genmaicha can often be resteeped 2–3 times, allowing its toasty nuance to unfold beautifully with each infusion.

With its gentle character and comforting depth, Genmaicha transforms even the simplest winter moments into something warm, meaningful, and deliciously memorable.
