"Sleigh bells ring, are you listening
In the lane snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland…"
A wonderful blend of green rooibos with cacao and cinnamon and flavored with Bavarian chocolate, cinnamon and hazelnuts. When we sampled this in our store we heard "Best rooibos ever!", "A new favorite", "Great everyday tea". It brews to a golden cup with the delicious aroma and taste of cinnamon baked goodies (we were reminded of apple fritters). Smooth and warming, this blend has the more pronounced taste of cinnamon and hazelnuts, while the Bavarian chocolate is an underlying taste that rounds out the other flavors. Delicious in every season!
Ingredients: Organic green rooibos, organic cacao nibs, organic cinnamon pieces, flavoring, and blue cornflower petals.
Brew tea at 212º - steep for 5 minutes.

Winter Wonderland Tea Latte
from Down to Earth Coffeehouse, Glastonbury, CT
4 oz. Winter Wonderland Concentrate
Moulin Vanilla Syrup (to taste)
7 oz. Steamed milk
Winter Wonderland Streusel Coffeecake
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup canola oil
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
2 tsp Winter Wonderland, herbal tisane
Streusel Mixture:
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 1/2 tsp cinnamon
3 Tbsp butter, melted
4 Tbsp flour
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 and grease an 8" square pan.
In a small saucepan heat the milk and the Winter Wonderland until hot (but not boiling). Cover, remove from heat and steep for 5 minutes. Strain out the herbal blend and set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Mix the canola oil into the flour and sugar mixture until it is like cornmeal in texture.
In another bowl, combine the egg, tea infused milk and vanilla extract.
Add to the flour mixture and stir only enough to mix, do not over blend.
In a small bowl combine the streusel ingredients.
Pour 1/2 of the mixture into the baking pan and sprinkle ½ of the streusel mix over the batter. Add the remaining batter on top, and sprinkle with the other 1/2 of the streusel mix.
Bake for 35 minutes until a knife inserted in the cake comes out clean.

Year round rooibos |
| 4/17/2018 |
| I know this is a "Winter Wonderland" but honestly this is great for any time of year. If you're hesitant to try Rooibos or say you don't like it, please try this blend. It's one of the most palate friendly Rooibos. S&V has some of the best Rooibos blends around. It's like drinking a coffee cake or sweet muffin! Adding a dash of cream makes this into a nice desert. |

| This tea is such a sweet, interesting blend of spices. I don't even need to put any honey in it. This dessert tea is really a winter treat. One of my all time favorite teas. |

Nice Surprise |
| 3/13/2017 |
| A sample of this lovely blend was included in our last shipment. It is so enjoyable and complex (in a light way) that I added it to our usual go-to ice tea made of Java Malabar and it was just excellent! |

Perfection in a cup! |
| 11/14/2016 |
| This is THE most delicious rooibos tea I have ever tried, and Ive tried several. It tastes absolutely decadent and I did not add any additional sweetener. The flavors are blended perfectly and each note comes through without any one flavor being overpowering. This was my first experience buying from Simpson & Vail and I could not be more pleased! Will not be without this one, its perfection! |

Liquid Nutella- Without the Guilt |
| 7/9/2016 |
| I would totally give this more than 5 stars... 9 sounds about right?
My absolute favorite bedtime tea! I admit to mixing it with a spoonful of nutella on some particularly naughty occasions, to amp up the wonderful choco-nut flavors the tea has. But typically add some vanilla milk to it. This is a wonderful taste of Christmas any night of the year! Its a toss up between this one and Almond Sugar Cookie for my fav S&V tea! |

Hands down, the best tea I have ever tasted! |
| 2/15/2016 |
| I am not one for leaving reviews usually, but I have spent a great deal of time searching for a good tea that can rival the more popular but more expensive teas out there in the retail world, and this tea is it! The perfect dessert tea with no bitter aftertaste and no need whatsoever to sweeten. It is perfection and my new favorite tea! |

Perfect for sipping on a snowy January day! |
| 1/10/2016 |
| Interesting tea! In the tin, it was lovely to look at. When brewed, the aroma had a nuts and popcorn sort of smell. The taste was nutty and sweet. I even got a maple flavor on several sips. The tea also had good body, almost like a lighter black tea consistency. Pretty robust for a green rooibos. I did get a bit of the rooibos coming through on my tongue in an herbal, woody sort of way, but it was not unpleasant. I really liked this tea, but was hoping for something more such as more chocolate, more spice, etc. It was very smooth and delicious but a bit blah next to my other S&V teas. Next time, I would sweeten it and maybe add a little almond milk. I would still recommend that people try this as it is very smooth and comforting! |

Coffee cake in a cup |
| 12/7/2015 |
| A moderately spiced and slightly bready flavor that reminds me most of a certain coffee cake mix that was popular in the 80s. Its like guilt-free comfort food. |

Guilt Free Biscotti in a Cup |
| 1/23/2015 |
| One of my favorite teas, this Tissane tastes very much like Biscotti. What could be better than enjoying all the delicious cookie flavor of Biscotti with none of the guilt? The kids especially love it with no caffeine worries for Mom and Dad. |
