Like candy canes and chocolate? Bigelow Tea’s Peppermint Bark Herbal Tea combines the invigorating sensation and taste of real peppermint with the smooth warmth of chocolate, thanks to the addition of actual cocoa powder. If you prefer savory sips, brew some Ginger Snappish Herbal Tea. Ingredients like real ginger, cinnamon, natural gingersnap and lemon peel give this caffeine free tea a whole lot of zing. And if you’re looking for a pick-me-up, Eggnogg'n Tea will give you that gentle boost of caffeine and offer you one of the holiday's quintessential flavors and aromas: eggnog. This all-natural tea is made with both black and green tea, making it full-bodied without being overpowering. It is smooth and miraculously full of the creamy flavor of eggnog with a touch of cinnamon.
