Glögg
Herbal tea with hibiscus and spices

For Christmas, the Kusmi Tea Grand Hotel is opening its doors just for you! A unique, magical experience awaits with Glögg, our caffeine-free, organic herbal tea. 

In the garden, the first flakes have already fallen, the water fountain has frozen over, and the forest of fir trees is wearing its finest colors: gold and red, just like the tins of tea, which are piled higher and higher.

One of them is a comforting herbal tea which is perfect for the occasion. Introducing the famous Glögg! Kusmi Tea has revisited the traditional mulled wine from the North as an herbal tea. The result is a blend of spices with tangy notes of hibiscus and blackcurrant combined with enchanting flavors of cinnamon, licorice, and cardamom. And to celebrate Christmas, it is presented in a superb, limited-edition tin!

You can enjoy this herbal tea to your heart’s content, as Glögg by Kusmi Tea is completely caffeine-free. As the sound of mugs clinking together fills the air, the warmth of a Scandinavian Christmas infuses the hotel bar. Merry Glögg-mas!
