Lights, glitter, action! To capture the essence of the classic Christmas diner vibe, we chose a robust black tea blend. Then we sprinkled in the tinseltown taste of peppermint hot cocoa; the quintessential party beverage of the holidays. The cooling peppermint also reflects the visual appearance of the cooling silver tinsel. We also 'trimmed the tea' with red ornaments of peppercorns and gold shimmering dust that adds just a hint of gold sparkle to your tea. Steeping Instructions Use one heaping teaspoon per 8 oz cup of water Let steep 3-5 minutes in hot water 208° (boiling) longer steep times will bring out more bitterness Ingredients black tea, cocoa bits, peppermint, coriander, chocolate flavor, red peppercorns, sparkling sugar, edible gold dust
