5 Autumn Teas to Cosy Up With

When the leaves turn golden and the evenings grow cooler, there’s nothing better than wrapping your hands around a comforting cup of tea. Autumn calls for rich, spiced, and soothing flavours that match the season’s cosy vibe. Whether you’re a loose-leaf connoisseur or just dipping your toes into the world of speciality teas, here are five autumn teas you’ll love — all available to order online or discover in our Leighton Buzzard shop.

1. Spiced Chai

A true autumn classic. Bold black tea blended with cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves creates a warming cup that feels like a hug in a mug. Perfect with a splash of milk and a drizzle of honey.

Try our Black Chai Spice for a rich, aromatic brew. https://thehouseofcoffee.co.uk/product/black-chai-spice/

2. Rooibos

Naturally caffeine-free, rooibos pairs beautifully with zesty orange peel and sweet cinnamon. It’s the ideal evening tea to wind down with — cosy, sweet, and a little indulgent.

Order our Rooibos, perfect for bedtime comfort. https://thehouseofcoffee.co.uk/product/rooibos/

3. Smoky Lapsang Souchong

For something bold, lapsang souchong offers a deep, smoky flavour that pairs wonderfully with crisp autumn evenings. Imagine sipping this while curled up by a fire (real or not!).

4. Gunpowder 

The more pungent of our green teas. (it looks like musket loading powder hence the name but our Gunpowder is far more relaxing than it is explosive!)

Pick up our Gunpowder Tea, bold and smoky, with a slightly nutty flavour. https://thehouseofcoffee.co.uk/product/gunpowder/

5. Russian Caravan

Russian Caravan is a blend of oolong, keemun, and lapsang souchong teas. It is described as an aromatic and full-bodied tea with a sweet, malty, and smoky taste

How to Brew for Maximum Cosiness

• Use fresh, filtered water and brew just below boiling for black teas.
• Herbal blends shine with a longer steep (5–7 minutes).
• Try topping spiced teas with steamed milk for a warming tea latte.
