This year, we’re giving a holiday classic a full Moody Teas glow-up. Our Transcendence Coquito keeps all the creamy, coconut-rich nostalgia of the original, but layers in the grounding warmth of rooibos, the uplifting clarity of mint, and the dreamy icy-blue hue of butterfly pea flower. Whether you’re mixing the zero-proof version or the rum-infused edition, this coquito is comforting, intentional, and a little bit magical — a tradition that knows how to transcend.

Spilling the Tea: WTF is a Tisane?
When it comes to tisanes (pronounced tee-ZAHN or ti-ZAN), the first question that pops up is: WTF are they? Here’s the scoop—tisanes are hot drinks made by steeping plants like herbs, flowers, fruits, or spices in water. Think chamomile, peppermint, or hibiscus. But here’s the kicker: they’re not actually tea. That’s because true tea comes from one specific plant, Camellia sinensis. Tisanes, on the other hand, are doing their own caffeine-free thing, bringing bold flavors and good vibes without the tannins or historical baggage.
Want to impress your friends? Drop the word “tisane” next time you’re sipping herbal tea—it’s just a fancier name for the same delicious thing. Whether you call it tea or tisane, one thing’s for sure: it’s a cozy, plant-powered hug in a mug. Cheers!
