Sipping a good cuppa, particularly on a cold, rainy day amid the hustle and bustle of the year-end season, can help calm the mind, relax the body and soothe the soul.

The 1872 Clipper Tea Co. offers a range of premium tea blends, and is known for its consistency in quality, aroma and taste. The Singapore heritage brand has launched, for the third year, a range of seasonal tea blends to infuse and delight the senses with the wonderful aromas of Christmas.

Its Carols by the Carousel range is inspired by three classic holiday tunes: Twelve Days, a dreamy blend of rich Ceylon black tea with warm honey and blue cornflowers; Drummer Boy, which infuses delicate green tea with kiwi and strawberries, and Sleigh Ride, a playful, fruity combination of rooibos tea, mango and pineapple, peppered with fresh apple crisps and marigold petals. Gift this lovely set of three blends, or choose from three beautifully boxed gift sets containing each tea blend paired with a food item that complements it perfectly.

There are also six carefully curated tea hampers, attractively packaged to delight loved ones. Some include tea-brewing essentials, like teapots and infusers, to make the perfect brew. Even The 1872 Clipper Tea Co.’s regular range of sachet teas is adorned with a Christmas sleeve to make gift-giving even more fuss-free. And for the home, pick up the Romance of Travel set, a collection of three tea-scented candles inspired by journeys to Singapore, Paris and London.

Visit the newly opened store at #B1-48 Raffles City Shopping Centre, or drop by its Christmas pop-up located along Orchard Road (in front of Ion Orchard), which runs Dec 4-20. The 1872 Clipper Tea Co. range is also available at Level B1 Tangs at Tang Plaza, Level B1 Robinsons The Heeren, Gardens by the Bay gift shops, Singapore Botanic Gardens gift shops and online at www.clippertea.com.sg
