Some mornings call for coffee. But the fun ones? They call for a tea mule. This non-alcoholic twist on the classic Moscow Mule uses our bold and citrusy Full Moon Morning tea — a loose leaf blend of malty Assam, smooth Ceylon, and zesty orange peel — for a drink that’s just as punchy as it is comforting.
Whether you're skipping the booze or just want a sophisticated midday sip, this Citrus & Spice Tea Mule brings the warmth of black tea, the zip of lime, and the cozy kick of ginger together in one seriously refreshing glass.
