🎄 JUL 🎄: Krampusnacht Loose Leaf Tea

⛤This tea is part of the Sabbat Tea Collection and is only available for the Sabbat of Jul⛧

The Feast of St. Nicholas is celebrated in parts of Europe on 6 December. On the preceding evening of 5 December, Krampus Night or Krampusnacht, the wicked hairy devil appears on the streets. Sometimes accompanying St. Nicholas and sometimes on his own. The Saint usually appears in the Eastern Rite vestments of a bishop, and he carries a golden ceremonial staff. Unlike North American versions of Santa Claus, in these celebrations Saint Nicholas concerns himself only with the good children, while Krampus is responsible for the bad. Nicholas dispenses gifts, while Krampus supplies coal and the Rute.

Krampusnacht starts with a sweet, woody bed of Roobios blanketed with fragrant Peppermint and Spearmint. Juniper Berries give this blend a nice swat once mingled with Mulling Spices and rich Cocoa Nibs. Tart juicy red Cherries and Cranberries kissed with Vanilla make this a deceptively sweet treat, even for the naughtiest tea drinker.

Each package is approximately 1 oz. and makes about 10-15 cups depending on how strong you like it.
