Winter in the Netherlands brings its own charm: the crisp air, clear nights, and the coziness of being warm indoors. And what goes better with that cozy warmth than a cup of 'Royal Winter' tea? This rich blend of fruit and spices is designed to see you through the coldest days. The combination of apple and pineapple provides a sweet touch, while cardamom and cinnamon add a spicy depth. The addition of white tea completes the ensemble with a soft, subtle base. 'Royal Winter' is your perfect winter companion: heartwarming, flavorful, and just what you need to find a moment of tranquility amidst the bustle of everyday life.
From the first sip, you'll notice that 'Royal Winter' occupies a special place among teas. It is a well-balanced mix of sweet and spicy. The natural sweetness of apple and pineapple provides a fruity freshness that isn't overpowering, while cardamom and cinnamon add a warming, spicy undertone. Ginger brings a light, zesty kick that enhances the complexity of the tea. The white tea ensures a soft, subtle flavor that balances the stronger tastes and results in a smooth finish. 'Royal Winter' is neither bitter nor too sweet, but has a rich flavor that captivates with every sip.
The strength of 'Royal Winter' lies in its flexibility. If you let it steep for a short time, you will enjoy a mild, subtle taste. A longer steeping time will intensify the deep, rich flavors of the herbs and fruit, resulting in a full-bodied tea.
'Royal Winter' is designed not to become bitter, even if it steeps longer. This makes it an ideal choice for those who prefer a stronger tea without the risk of a bitter aftertaste.
The perfect cup of 'Royal Winter' tea is made with care and attention. Start with fresh, cold water and heat it to about 70-80 degrees Celsius - the ideal point at which white tea releases its flavors best without scorching the delicate leaves.
Use approximately one measuring spoon per cup and let it steep for 3 to 6 minutes, depending on how strong you want the tea. 'Royal Winter' is delicious as a hot tea on a chilly evening or as an iced tea for a refreshing winter beverage.
In winter, everyone is in search of coziness and warmth. 'Royal Winter' tea is crafted to give you that extra special feeling. Drinking this tea feels like you're snuggled up warm by a fireplace.
'Royal Winter' is the perfect winter tea because its flavors complement each other so well. You taste the sweet apple and a hint of tropical pineapple that reminds you of summer. But with the addition of cardamom and cinnamon, it becomes a true winter tea. Cardamom provides a fresh, spicy flavor, and cinnamon adds the familiar warmth associated with winter.
Ginger is also included in this tea, and not without reason. Ginger can warm you up nicely and adds a bit of spice to the tea. It's perfect for warming up after a cold walk. The base of this tea is white tea, which is very soft and allows the other flavors to shine through.
The tea is also visually appealing. The red color from rosehip and beetroot makes the tea inviting, and the blue cornflowers add a special touch of color. It looks festive, as if you have jewels in your tea.
'Royal Winter' tea is not just tasty, but it's a special experience that improves the short, dark days. Whether you're alone or with friends or family, this tea is always a good choice. It has a beautiful blend of sweet and spicy, and it makes you feel happy and warm.
