In autumn, teas that use warming spices and seasonal flavours to convey a sense of well-being and cosiness gain in popularity. Every year, new trends emerge that combine classic autumn ingredients with modern tea blends. Here are the most exciting tea trends for the cool season.
Tea trends in autumn
1. flavoured herbal teas:
Teas with warming spices such as cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and cloves are particularly popular in autumn. They are reminiscent of classic autumn flavours such as chai, but also offer exciting new blends with herbs such as chamomile or hibiscus.
2. turmeric tea:
Turmeric, known for its anti-inflammatory properties, is experiencing a boom and "Golden Milk" or turmeric latte is now also becoming popular as a tea flavour. The blend of turmeric, ginger, cinnamon and black pepper is ideal for the cooler months of the year.
4. flavoured black teas:
Black tea with autumn flavours such as apple, caramel, vanilla or pear brings cosiness to the cup. These teas are often sweeter and go perfectly with autumnal desserts or as a substitute for sweet drinks.
5. smoky teas:
Lapsang Souchong and other smoky teas are experiencing a revival. Their intense, earthy flavour goes well with the autumnal mood and savoury dishes.
6. fruit and spice teas with pumpkin:
Inspired by the popular "pumpkin spice" trend, there are more and more pumpkin-flavoured tea blends combined with classic autumn spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg.
7. tea cocktails and mocktails:
Autumnal tea blends are also used in cocktails and non-alcoholic mocktails. Spiced or fruity teas serve as the basis for warming drinks with a twist.
