Organic Christmas Green Tea with Orange, Almond & Festive Spices
Bring the warmth and aroma of Christmas into your teacup with Tatasse Mont-Saint-Michel Organic Christmas Biscuit Green Tea.
Created in France, this distinctive loose-leaf tea starts with a carefully balanced combination of Sencha and Chun Mee green teas. Delicate Pai Mu Tan white tea adds another layer of softness and complexity.
The tea is then enriched with fruit, orange, almond, Bourbon vanilla, cloves and aromatic ingredients that give the infusion its characteristic festive personality.
Expect a light yet comforting cup with flavours reminiscent of marzipan, fresh orange, dried fruit, vanilla and Christmas spices.
It is an excellent choice for colder afternoons, festive breakfasts, relaxed evenings with family or simply whenever you want something more indulgent than traditional green tea.
A Festive Tea Without an Overpowering Flavour
While many Christmas teas are based on strong black tea and heavy spices, Mont-Saint-Michel takes a lighter approach.
The green tea base keeps the infusion fresh and elegant, while orange and fruit provide natural brightness. Almond and vanilla introduce a soft dessert-like character, and cloves contribute gentle seasonal warmth.
The result is a tea that feels unmistakably festive without becoming excessively sweet or heavily spiced.
This makes it particularly suitable for green-tea drinkers looking for something special during autumn and winter.
What Does Mont-Saint-Michel Christmas Tea Taste Like?
The flavour profile is:
Fresh – from the green tea base
Citrusy – with pieces of orange
Fruity – with raisins, dates and pomegranate notes
Nutty – with almond and marzipan-like character
Softly sweet – with natural vanilla aromas
Warm and spicy – with cloves and tonka bean
Festive – reminiscent of Christmas biscuits and seasonal desserts
Despite its dessert-inspired character, the underlying green tea remains noticeable, creating a balanced and aromatic infusion.
How to Prepare
For the best results:
Tea: 2.5 g
Water: 200 ml
Water temperature: 70–80°C
Infusion time: 2–3 minutes
Avoid using boiling water because very hot water can make delicate green tea taste unnecessarily bitter.
Preparation
- Heat fresh water to approximately 70–80°C.
- Add approximately 2.5 g of loose-leaf tea per 200 ml of water.
- Infuse for 2–3 minutes.
- Remove the tea leaves.
- Enjoy without milk to appreciate the fruit, almond, vanilla and spice aromas.
For a stronger flavour, increase the quantity of tea rather than dramatically increasing the brewing time.
Perfect for the Festive Season
This tea is particularly enjoyable:
- during Christmas and Advent
- with Christmas biscuits
- alongside cakes and pastries
- during winter afternoons
- after a festive meal
- as part of a Christmas breakfast
- during cosy evenings at home
- when entertaining guests
- as a small Christmas or Secret Santa gift
Because it comes in an attractive Mont-Saint-Michel metal tea tin, it also works particularly well as a gift without requiring elaborate additional packaging.
A Beautiful Tea Gift from France
Mont-Saint-Michel is one of France’s most recognisable landmarks, and the decorative tin makes this tea especially attractive as a small French-inspired gift.
Pair it with a tea infuser, tea mug or teapot from Leaf & Spice to create a more complete tea gift.
It can also be combined with other festive teas to create your own Christmas tea selection.
