There is something truly special about the flavours we return to each December — warming spices, sweet citrus, aromatic nuts, deep roasted notes and festive fragrances that fill the home with anticipation. At Farrer’s, where we have been blending fine teas and roasting exceptional coffees since 1819, the arrival of our festive beverages marks the start of the Christmas season. And this year, two favourites return in all their golden glory: the Christmas Blend Coffee Gold Caddy and our beautifully fragrant Spiced Christmas Tea Gold Caddy.
These two blends represent the heart of winter indulgence — one rich and smooth, the other bright and spiced — each presented in a stunning gold caddy that captures the magic of the season. Whether enjoyed quietly on a frosty morning, shared with guests, or gifted to someone special, they offer a delicious escape into the warmth and comfort of Christmas.
Christmas Blend Coffee Gold Caddy: A Festive Classic in Every Sip
Our Christmas Blend Coffee has become something of a tradition, eagerly awaited each year by coffee lovers who appreciate a brew with richness, depth and unmistakable seasonal charm. Expertly crafted from select South American Arabica beans, this blend offers a medium–strong roast (3.5) that is smooth, rounded and exceptionally comforting.
From the first sip, the flavour is mellow, silky and gently sweet, with nutty undertones that evoke roasted chestnuts, holiday pastries and warm winter mornings. It’s the type of coffee that feels indulgent without being heavy, making it perfect for all-day drinking — and especially Christmas morning.
Aroma & Flavour Notes
The aroma of Christmas Blend Coffee is one of its greatest joys. As it brews, the room fills with festive warmth, a deep and inviting fragrance that pairs beautifully with mince pies, gingerbread, fruit cake or a simple buttered croissant. The flavour is balanced and clean, with a smooth body and delicate sweetness that lingers without overpowering the palate.
Many customers tell us they enjoy this blend long after the holidays have passed. Its year-round appeal lies in its understated indulgence — festive, yes, but never cloying, and delightful even on grey January mornings.
How to Brew It Best
To enjoy its full flavour, we recommend brewing this coffee in a cafetiere or filter. Both methods highlight its rounded sweetness and allow the nutty, festive notes to shine through.
The gold caddy keeps the coffee fresh throughout the season, protecting the beans from moisture and preserving their fine aroma.
A Gift That Always Delights
The luxurious gold tin is part of the experience. Elegant, festive and reusable, it makes a beautiful gift for:
-
Coffee lovers
-
Hosts and hostesses
-
Christmas morning hampers
-
Stocking fillers
-
Corporate gifts
Filled with one of our most-loved seasonal blends, it is a present that promises genuine pleasure.
Spiced Christmas Tea Caddy: A Festive Symphony of Fruit & Spice
For tea drinkers, our Spiced Christmas Tea Caddy is pure holiday joy. This medium-strength black tea blend is crafted from high-quality Blended China tea and enriched with festive notes that fill every cup with warmth.
This is not just a flavoured tea — it is a celebration of Christmas itself. Bright orange peel, aromatic cloves, sweet cinnamon, toasted almond pieces and vibrant blue cornflowers come together in a blend that is as beautiful as it is delicious.
This tea is everything we love about winter: spicy, fruity, comforting and wonderfully fragrant.
Aroma & Flavour Notes
The scent hits the moment you open the caddy — sweet citrus, warming spice and a rich, almost pudding-like aroma that feels instantly festive.
In the cup, the tea is smooth and balanced, with:
-
Citrusy brightness from the orange peel
-
Warmth from cinnamon
-
Gentle spice from clove
-
Soft sweetness from almond
-
Medium body from the black tea
-
A delicate floral note from the cornflowers
It feels indulgent but not heavy, making it a lovely choice for any time of day.
How to Brew It Best
For the perfect cup, brew:
-
2 tsp of tea
-
Boiling water
-
3–5 minutes, depending on how strong you like it
This tea is best enjoyed without milk, which allows the festive flavours to shine. It pairs beautifully with Christmas bakes, shortbread, stollen or a slice of fruit cake.
The Gold Caddy: A Beautiful Winter Keepsake
Like the Christmas Blend Coffee, the Spiced Christmas Tea comes presented in a striking gold caddy — elegant, reusable and perfect for gifting. It protects the tea’s delicate aromas and looks stunning displayed in a kitchen or tea cupboard.
The Perfect Pair: Coffee for the Morning, Tea for the Evening
Together, these two festive favourites create a complete Christmas experience — ideal for gifting or enjoying at home.
