Overview
Parisian tea house elegance, scaled down to a holiday countdown. Each day reveals an organic black, green, white or caffeine-free herbal blend from Kusmi's signature range, and the run finishes with miniature loose-leaf tins of festive Le Dessert and Glögg teas plus a tea spread infused with Tropical White. It sits between budget herbal calendars and ultra-luxury Fortnum pricing.
Taste & variety
Kusmi signatures do the heavy lifting, Tsarevna, Anastasia and Prince Vladimir among them, with organic greens, whites and caffeine-free herbals filling in around them. Flavoured and scented blends dominate. Purists seeking unflavoured origin tea should look elsewhere.
