The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 19 November 2024 6 Comments

Still more holiday tea, this time from Kusmi. Shown is the Tsarevna and Glögg Gift Set: "Tsarevna, organic Christmas black tea with a captivating scent of orange, vanilla and spices, from ginger to cardamom and cinnamon, all punctuated by a gentle hint of liquorice. And the Glögg, the deliciously spicy festive organic herbal tea whose beautiful amber liquor holds tangy notes of hibiscus, grapes and blackcurrant." $15.99 for two 45g miniatures as shown, or $55.98 for the two full sized 120g tins, or, pay $39.99 for the complete advent calendar which includes the two miniatures plus 20 other tea bags, an infuser and a jelly.

So I forgot the Tuesday Teapot on the scent of the day, again, but here's a tea to lemm: Kusmi's Tsarevna 2018 (same tea, new tin). "Once upon a time, under the Russian empire, the tsar would have his daughters ("the tsarevnas") travel all the way to the Winter Palace to celebrate the holiday season in Saint Petersburg, home of Kusmi Tea. This year Kusmi Tea’s most iconic Christmas Tea, Tsarevna, comes in a Limited-edition tin, elegantly decorated with arabesques inspired by the masterpieces of Russian jewelry. The warm scents of christmas spices are softened by delicate notes of orange peel, vanilla, and almond. The blend is enhanced by a touch of liquorice, adding a naturally sweet taste. A festive delight!" At the moment, if you buy the 200g tin ($31.90), you get a free scented candle, although the size and the scent of the candle are a mystery. It's red, though.

Has anyone tried the Clarins + Kusmi tea? "Specially created by Kusmi Tea to supplement the Clarins beauty experience, this fresh, soothing mix of teas boosts your well-being and serenity. Savour this detoxifying tea and its fresh, revitalising notes. Its initial invigorating top note of green tea quickly gives way to a fruity heart with delicate, refined notes of redcurrant, before ending on a subtle, luxurious hint of rose with powdery accents. The texture is light and silky for a comforting effect that promotes absolute well-being. The Kusmi Tea for Clarins includes 20 tea bags inside the emblematic Kusmi Tea box adorned with the colours of Clarins." €18.
