A bit of history
The tradition of Christmas tea is centuries old.
It is composed of spices, tea, and sometimes citrus fruits.
The tradition of drinking flavored tea was born in England during the reign of Queen Victoria.
Russia and Germany are associated with this tradition, as it is common to drink mulled wine or spiced tea to protect against the harsh winter weather.
In the 1930s, the "Temperance League" served flavored tea during the holiday season to further its cause of keeping thousands of working-class people away from alcohol consumption.
It wasn't until 1980 that France discovered Christmas tea, marketed for the first time by the Compagnie Coloniale.
The Gunpwder tea
I chose the Chinese green tea with small rolled leaves, "Temple of Paradise" which calls the Chinese call "tea pearls."
Its production originated in Zhejiang Province, an eastern coastal region of China, and dates back to the 7th century AD.
Maghreb countries import it as a base for mint tea.
A quality Gunpowder tea can be recognized by the shine of its leaves rolled into small balls.
This indicator informs the consumer of the tea's youth, giving it a smooth infusion and a delicate flavor.
My recipe of Christmas tea
The natural sweetness of the tea allowed me to combine it with freshness with proven plants such as eucalyptus and lemongrass.
The infusion can be drunk all day long or just at breakfast for an energizing morning wake-up.

How to prepare your "Happy New Year" tea?
Heat water between 85° and 90°C, rinse by pouring a little water and discard this first infusion.
Moisten to the level of the tea in the filter of your teapot and let it infuse for 2 minutes or 3 minutes if you like the bitterness.
Heat a little less water but at the same temperature and let it steep for another 2 minutes. You will enjoy the flavors that are still present.
Repeat your infusion!
