Holiday Blends

Boswell’s Christmas Cookie was always a go-to for me for a few years. That and Northwoods. MacBaren Plumcake was also a favorite.

It's a shame that Peterson don't make a Christmas blend anymore. I used to look forward to seeing what they came up with every year.

I agree. I bought the Peterson Christmas/Winter blend every time I could find it. The same with the Rattray's Winter editions and the Kohlhase & Kopp Winter Editions blends that are no longer to be found.

Fortunately I have cellared the K&K Winter Editions 2019, 2021 & 2022 as well as the Rattray's Winter Edition from the same years. Interesting is that Rattray's were made by K&K.

I know that Kopp has a Winter Edition 2023 (Milk Chocolate, Almond and Amaretto) but I'm leery of ordering from Estervals since my last order got bounced around by the DHL and Customs. The same with the Rattray's Winter Edition 2023 (pear, Amaretto and Rum).

Peterson stopped the Christmas editions (and the summer blends) when the pandemic hit. Unfortunately, they never started making them again.
It's an especially big loss in the UK because the Peterson Christmas blends were always released over here. Now, the only Christmas blend we get is the Gawith one. It's very nice but it'd be good to have something different for a bit of variety.

What is the name of the Gawith Blend?

Gawith Hoggarth Seasonal Reserve. I just looked and it doesn't seem like it's in stock anywhere so maybe they aren't releasing any this year. Luckily, I've got a few tins in the cellar. I really like it, it has a cherry marzipan flavour.
