Day 18 of our 2023 Herbal Advent.
Fun fact, I’ve lived under chestnut trees for the past 10 years! Oregon is known for hazelnuts, but we have chestnuts too. And we haven’t done many chesnut specific teas for the herbal folks, so I decided to give it a try. One previous blend that our customers continue to talk about was “Snowy Mountain,” which was a riff on the French dessert mont blanc – it’s basically a chesnut creme. Chestnut needs a little body, which is why this tea is a decaf black to give it that structure to let the flavor notes stand out.
This blend is a great latte. Or just add a splash of cream and top with whipped cream that will make you feel like a million bucks!
Ingredients: Decaf Black Tea, Rooibos Tea, Chestnut Pieces, Safflower, Chestnut/Vanilla Essences

Day 18 of the Plum Deluxe herbal advent. This is a decaf black blend. Honestly, I’m getting pretty wary of black teas in my advents at this point – seems like there have been a lot of them and my body has not been responding particularly well. But there’s also rooibos in here and I made sure to do a fairly short steep, so hopefully that helps. Plum’s chestnut flavoring is as accurate as I remember from last year. The aroma of the hot brew is just perfect chestnut with a hint of cream. I’m not getting much creaminess in the flavor though. Really just a strong chestnut flavor on a slightly tannic, slightly malty base. Some oat milk might bring out the creaminess but I made this for bed and don’t like to put additives in bed tea in case I spill. I am not personally a big fan of chestnuts so this is not quite up my alley, but I think it would be for someone who likes them.
Maybe it will be a little easier on your body since it is decaf. I hope so!
Thanks! I ended up drinking about half of it and then calling it quits.
