This tea blend has been difficult for all of us to name. The fact is, the flavor is called American Black Walnut. But that doesn’t seem like the name of a tea that people might try. We sampled it in our store. Everyone who tried it instantly loved it and wanted to purchase it. When I told them it was Black Walnut they looked puzzled. So we asked people to name it and no one could accurately sum up the flavor profile. Until Pam tried it.
Pam works in the office & store here at Simpson & Vail. Perhaps you’ve spoken to her on the phone. She perfectly summed up the essence of this blend. "It is delicious! It’s like a “throw-back” tea that brings up thoughts of snuggling in a cozy comforter by a fireplace, or being a little kid snuggled in a comforter sitting on your Grammie’s lap, wrapped in the comforter and her hugs. It’s like watching cookies bake in the oven and drifting off to peaceful places on the aroma wafting from the oven. I would call it “cozy comfort tea”? It brings you to that safe, childhood place where you think all is right with the world? I love this tea! Hope you all can find a name for it!"
We did Pam. We called it Cozy Comfort Tea because you’re right; it’s all those things you mentioned – and more!
Ingredients: black teas, organic cinnamon pieces, orange blossoms and Black Walnut flavor.

Enjoying a couple of mental health days. Yesterday spent in the some less-occupied corners of Branson, Missouri. (Tour bus season. Watch out for octogenarians that travel in packs.) We poked our nose in odd-duck little shops, played a lovely, quiet game of pirate mini golf while leaves were falling on the putting green, and bemoaned the fact that the spots we used to sit and hold hands while we were courting are quickly disappearing under asphalt and mall stores.
Today’s just been a lovely hodgepodge of puttering at home and reveling in a welcome cold front that’s dropped the temperature 15 degrees in the past hour and has turned our streets into a red carpet of leaves. What better environment to sample a cup of Cozy Comfort?
I agree with Ashmanra’s evaluation—this comes across as a substantial black tea with cinnamon. I spent a good deal of quality time as a kid hammering and shelling black walnuts from Grandma Schubert’s trees; I’m not picking up on much of that scent or flavor at all. That said, it’s fitting for a fine day enjoying a welcome dose of real autumn.
I received a generous package of tea from Michelle yesterday, and immediately picked one out for my chilly morning breakfast!
This has cinnamon, orange blossom, and black walnut flavor. I am not familiar enough with black walnut to know which part of the flavor comes from that and I do not find this particularly nutty. If asked what I was drinking without knowing, I would have sworn this was a black tea with cinnamon and just a hint of clove, but there is no clove listed. There is a briskness that could also come from orange peel but not from orange blossom. So I would have failed a test of my taste perceptions!
Nevertheless, it brought cozy comfort this morning! The black tea is a little drying so it goes great with breakfast but is a tad too drying for me as a stand alone cup.
Thank you, Michelle!
That sounds like you are having a lovely time! Rest and refresh and enJOY!
Cinnamon and fall go well together :)
