Rishi Tea Blends Holiday Tradition and Culinary Craft in Three New Seasonal Sips

Launching September 30, 2025, Poached Pear, Cranberry Yuzu, and Vanilla Mint will be available in 10-count sachet boxes and 100g loose leaf bags at Rishi-Tea.com and Amazon, while supplies last. The sachets will also be available for a limited time at select retailers across the U.S. 

Poached Pear 

Inspired by a classic dessert traditionally simmered in wine, this blend reimagines the experience with California-grown pear and a white wine-like infusion of lemon, lemon verbena, and tart wild apples, spiced with an aromatic bouquet of sage, cloves, and linden. 

Cranberry Yuzu 

An elevated take on mulled wine, this warming, ruby-red infusion offers a taste of paradise. Japanese yuzu replaces traditional holiday citrus, harmonizing with tart cranberry, tropical hibiscus, velvety cinnamon, and herbaceous rosemary. 

Vanilla Mint 

Blending malty black teas from Yunnan and Thailand with Pacific Northwest peppermint, warm vanilla, sweet licorice, bittersweet cocoa, and roasted dandelion root, this wintry elixir is a soothing, subtly sweet treat for the senses. 

"This collection is particularly exciting because it allowed our team to reimagine what a holiday tea could taste like. All three flavors are versatile, timeless and inspired by the culinary arts. Poached Pear takes me back to my days as a professional chef, when I prepared this dessert during the colder months."
