Q: Thyme is the last ingredient in the list, how strong is the thyme flavour?

A: With thyme, a little goes a long way. In this tea, it is most prominent on the first couple of sips. Since it's something you don't normally see in tea, you can expect to experience it very strongly on the nose. Beacuse the oils in thyme are very quick to disperse, it fades after a couple of minutes and allows the other aromas, textures and tastes to take centre stage.

Q: How warming is warming?

A: There is a reason we bring this tea out for fall and not summer - it would completely overheat you in July (unless you're taking a trip to the Arctic I guess!). Allspice is super warming and, with the ginger, perfect for balancing the cold and dry qualities of late fall and winter.

Q: Are there any foods or desserts that would pair especially well with Tea Thyme?

A: Since this is a full-bodied tisane, you could either take a like-to-like approach and pair it with rich, autumnal foods and desserts - think roasted meats, butternut squash soup and pumpkin pie - or a counterpoint approach. For the latter, I would love it with a light and flaky shortbread or some homemade chicken noodle soup.
