Eggnog is a staple of the festive season that has been sipped for many years, loved for its rich, luxurious taste combining warm milk & egg, often mixed with alcohol like sherry or brandy.
You’ll probably have many happy memories of enjoying eggnog at holiday parties & family gatherings throughout Christmas time. We love eggnog’s retro vibe, frequently appearing in our favourite Christmas movies, so of course, it was a must-have for this year’s Christmas collection, but we had to give it a twist. Say hello to the creamy, dreamy sensation that is Eggnog Matcha.
As the creators of the UK’s largest range of flavoured matchas, our Tea Mixologists perfectly captured the nostalgic, creamy & gently spiced taste of eggnog & just like traditional eggnog, Eggnog Matcha can be enjoyed either chilled or warm, depending on the festive occasion!
