About Orange Spice

The Daily Comfort

If you grew up drinking "Constant Comment," this is the upgrade you have been waiting for. We take a robust organic Black Tea and blend it with the classic warming trio: Cinnamon, Cloves, and Orange Peel. But we didn't stop there. We added Crystallized Ginger for a spark of sweet heat, and Roasted Chicory Root to give the cup a deep, dark body.

Why It Works

The secret is the Chicory. Most spiced teas feel thin and watery. Chicory root (historically used in New Orleans coffee) adds a heavy, velvety mouthfeel that anchors the spices. This allows the zesty orange and the spicy ginger to shine without floating away. It is bold enough to wake you up, but cozy enough to settle you down.

The Simmer Ritual

Make the house smell good. On a slow morning, don't just steep this in a mug. Put a tablespoon in a small saucepan with milk (or oat milk) and simmer it gently for 10 minutes. The spices will infuse into the fat of the milk, creating a "Stovetop Chai" that beats any coffee shop latte.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Nostalgic and warming. It smells like peeling a fresh orange next to a wood stove.

Flavor: Bold and textured. The maltiness of the black tea is deepened by the chicory, while the crystallized ginger adds a pop of sugary heat.

Finish: Long, sweet, and spicy.

Why You'll Love It

Crystallized Ginger: Unlike dried ginger root which is purely spicy, crystallized ginger is cooked in sugar. This adds a unique texture and a subtle sweetness that balances the tannins of the black tea.

Chicory Root: A prebiotic root that is roasted to taste like coffee. It adds a "bass note" to the tea, giving it a richness that feels like a meal.

Black Tea

Camellia sinensis

A fully oxidized tea leaf with the caffeine to wake you up. Bold and malty.

In the cup

Black tea is the most oxidized of the true teas. The leaves are left to darken fully before drying, which deepens the color and the flavor into a brisk, malty cup with the body to stand up to milk. It also carries the most caffeine of any tea, the reason it is the classic morning brew. Most comes from Assam and Yunnan.

Orange Peel

Citrus sinensis

Sweet, zesty citrus that brings sunshine to a blend.

In the cup

Orange peel is the dried rind of the sweet orange, where the bright, fragrant oils concentrate. It brings a sweet, zesty citrus warmth that plays well with spices in a chai and with berries in a fruit blend. A classic of the Mediterranean coast, it adds a cheerful lift hot or iced.

Cinnamon Bark

Cinnamomum verum

Sweet, woody warmth with a natural sweetness, no sugar needed.

In the cup

Cinnamon is the inner bark of a tropical tree, peeled and dried until it curls into quills. Ceylon cinnamon, the kind from Sri Lanka, is delicate and sweet rather than fiery. It brings cozy, woody warmth to chai and spiced blends, plus a natural sweetness that lets you reach for less sugar.

Cloves

Syzygium aromaticum

Intense, sweet-spicy warmth. A little goes a long way.

In the cup

Cloves are the dried flower buds of a tropical evergreen, picked before they open. They carry one of the most intense flavors in the spice rack, sweet, warm, and almost tingly, thanks to their natural oils. A clove or two deepens a chai or a holiday blend. They have also long been chewed to freshen the breath.

Ginger

Zingiber officinale

Warming and peppery, the classic cup after a heavy meal.

In the cup

Ginger is the spicy underground stem, or rhizome, of the ginger plant, used fresh, dried, or crystallized. It brings sharp, warming heat and a touch of natural sweetness. Ginger has been the after-dinner cup across Indian, Chinese, and Western traditions for thousands of years, most often as the cup after a heavy meal.

Roasted Chicory Root

Cichorium intybus

Roasted root with the deep, bittersweet soul of coffee.

In the cup

Chicory root, roasted and ground, has stood in for and stretched coffee for centuries, most famously in New Orleans and across northern France. The cup is dark, rich, and pleasantly bitter, with a roasted depth and no caffeine. It is the backbone of herbal coffee blends for anyone easing off the real thing.

A few notes from our teamakers.

The Simmer Ritual
Put a tablespoon in a small saucepan with milk or oat milk and simmer gently for 10 minutes. The roasted chicory gives the cup a deep, velvety body that feels like a coffee-shop latte without the espresso.

The Orange Spice Latte
Brew double strength, add a splash of orange or maple syrup, and top with frothed milk. Our orange spice latte recipe on the blog has the full steps.

A Classic Cup, Upgraded
Steep 5 minutes and take it straight with a spoonful of honey. The crystallized ginger leaves a sweet heat that lingers.

orange spice, festive but year round

Orange peel, cinnamon and clove over a bold black tea. Smells like Christmas but I drink it all year. Good strong caffeine, lovely black with no milk. Warming and a little citrusy. Big fan.

spiced orange black tea, lovely

The orange and cinnamon come through beautifully over a strong black base. Cozy and warming, decent caffeine kick. I have it on cold mornings. No need for sugar, it's naturally a bit sweet from the spices.

warm spiced orange, my winter cup

Orange Spice is gorgeous when it's cold out. Cinnamon, clove and orange peel over a brisk black tea. Strong enough to take milk but I like it black. Naturally sweet from the spices. Reorder every fall.

Your Questions About Orange Spice, Answered.

Is this caffeinated?

Yes. It is based on organic Black Tea, so it has a healthy amount of caffeine. It is a fantastic morning alternative to coffee.

How do I make a tea latte?

Because this blend has Chicory, it is perfect for lattes. Brew it double-strength (use half the water you normally would), steep for 5 minutes, and top with frothed oat milk and a dash of honey.

What does chicory add?

Texture. Chicory gives the tea a "thick" feeling in the mouth, similar to coffee. It prevents the spices from tasting thin or watery.
