Tea Forté, the Maynard, Massachusetts-based company, has written to let us know about its newest collection, “Winter Chalet,” which contains some unusual blends. Two herbals piqued our interest because they have an ingredient that”™s usually loaded with caffeine. Belgian Mint blends dark chocolate and peppermint for a dessert infusion, while the new Chocolate Fondue layers strawberries and chocolate for a luscious finish, and ginger lemongrass balances citrus notes with spearmint and licorice. 

These herbals are packaged in different size boxes ($38, $32 and $28) with a Mountain Oolong and a Sweet Orange Spice that contains cinnamon and cloves to get you in the holiday spirit.
