As winter sets in outside, we hunker down indoors, seeking comfort and warmth. Whether alone or in good company, few things in winter feel cozier than curling up by the fire with a hot cup of tea, and nothing sounds more inviting than a pristine mountainside getaway.

COZY UP WITH A CUP
To evoke the rustic luxury of a snowy retreat, Tea Forté's Winter Chalet Collection offers five tea blends meant to warm the soul. Best served with a soft blanket, this quintet gathers four winter classics alongside a decadent herbal blend. Each tea blend in the collection is Kosher-certified and crafted with fine ingredients from thoughtfully sourced tea leaves and warming spices to fragrant mint, chocolate, and citrus. Presented in a gold and white package design mimicking freshly fallen snow on immaculate ski slopes, it's excellent for winter gifting or enjoying for yourself.
ADVENT, PLUS PYRAMIDS & LOOSE TEA POUCHES
The Winter Chalet 12 Days of Cozy Teas Advent Calendar includes 12 pyramid tea infusers, one of each blend, hidden behind numbered doors. Also available in bundles! Countdown to the winter holidays, a special occasion, or use it to discover a new blend each day.
This year's collection also includes a Single Steeps Tea Chest (28 loose tea pouches in an expanded array of 14 winter blends,) including classics like Earl Grey and Bombay Chai, a Presentation Box (20 pyramid infusers, four of each blend), and a Petite Presentation Box (10 pyramid infusers, two of each blend).
"Nothing tastes better after a day of skiing than hot toddy made with our tea," says Tea Forté Creative Director Paul Anselmi, noting that each blend in the collection is a perfect warming experience of its own, with or without accompaniment. Inspired by the notion of après-ski beverages enjoyed by the fire in a mountain lodge, these teas capture the cozy feeling of a winter retreat in each cup.

Each blend brings its own unique characteristics to a suite of warming winter teas, all crafted with comfort in mind:
