Mulled wine – a fruit and spice infusion inspired by Christmas markets

The warming aroma of spices, the deep red of the infusion, and the incredibly pleasant flavor reminiscent of mulled wine – all this combines in the Grzaniec fruit tea, created with colder days and long evenings in mind. This composition evokes the atmosphere of Christmas markets, warm hands, and the scent of cinnamon wafting through the air. In every cup, you'll find memories of winter walks, holiday gatherings, and special moments spent at home.

Mulled wine, also known as grzaniec (mulled wine), is a traditional, warming drink made with red wine, spices, and fruit – most often served in winter, especially around Christmas. A non-alcoholic version, such as Grzaniec tea, allows you to enjoy these aromas without any restrictions.

This blend is based on natural ingredients: apple, hibiscus, rosehip, orange peel, and classic spices – cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves. This combination evokes traditional mulled wine, but without the addition of alcohol, making it suitable for everyone – including children and those avoiding alcohol. The strong aroma of spices harmonizes with the fruity sweetness and tartness of hibiscus, creating a rich, warming flavor profile. The tea is appetizing and colorful, attracting attention both in the package and after brewing.

Taste and aroma

When steeped in boiling water, the dried herb releases a full range of intense aromas – cinnamon blends with cloves, and cardamom enhances the depth of flavor. Hibiscus and rosehips impart a light acidity that offsets the sweetness of apples and citrus fruits. The resulting infusion has an intense red color and a full, rich flavor. Orange zest adds a fresh and citrusy character, and the whole thing can be easily adjusted to your preferences – just a teaspoon of honey, a few drops of raspberry juice, or an orange slice.

Interestingly, after brewing, the fruit in the mixture becomes soft and edible. This is not only a way to fully utilize the infusion, but also a delicious, natural addition to breakfast or dessert.

For whom?

Mulled wine will appeal to anyone looking for a warming drink with a deep, fruity flavor and spices, yet without alcohol or caffeine. It's perfect as an evening ritual after a walk, an alternative to traditional mulled wine, and a perfect addition to get-togethers. It can be served to children, seniors, and anyone who appreciates natural ingredients and a rich aroma. Its pleasant flavor will also be appreciated by guests in cafés, teahouses, and hotels – especially in winter and during the holiday season.

How to brew mulled tea?

The recommended ratio is 1 teaspoon of dried herb per 200 ml of water. Pour boiling water (100°C) over the tea and steep for 8–12 minutes. A longer steeping time brings out the depth of the spices and intense color. To enhance the flavor and aroma, add a slice of orange or a dash of honey. For a more intense effect reminiscent of mulled wine, add a dash of raspberry juice to the brewed tea, or use a cinnamon stick or an orange slice. This blend lends itself well to multi-ingredient variations – it can also be enriched with black tea or served "richly" with honey and fruit.

Why is it worth having in your offer?

Mulled wine stands out not only for its flavor and aroma, but also for its color and striking dried appearance. Its rich composition of fruits and spices makes it a popular choice for customers seeking seasonal, warming beverages. It's a perfect addition to winter offerings – it can be served in restaurants and cafes as an alternative to classic mulled wine, and also sold in tea shops as a seasonal product. Mulled wine complements the offerings with a classic, modern, non-alcoholic version. It also makes a great gift idea – especially during the holiday season.
