The Making Of ‘Tis The Seasoning
Some blends we have created with a recipe in mind.
Others are born from a feeling or mood.
‘Tis The Seasoning began somewhere between the first chill in the air and the familiar comfort of a kitchen filling with festive aromas. It wasn’t about recreating a single dish, it was about capturing that unmistakable season that brings so much fun.
That feeling is exactly what inspired ‘Tis The Seasoning - our Christmas Blend, built around the nostalgic flavours of roast dinners and long, festive meals shared with good people.
A Blend Inspired by festive Kitchens
When we started developing ‘Tis The Seasoning, we asked a simple question: What do we reach for most when cooking at this time of year?
The answer wasn’t one spice, but a symphony of tastes and sensations, warming notes, gentle sweetness, savoury depth. Spices that feel cosy without being heavy, familiar without being predictable. You catch the drift. It was that ‘yep, that slaps’ kind of feeling we were after.
We tested, tweaked, and tasted (a lot). Some versions leaned too sweet. Others felt more like baking spices than everyday seasoning. Slowly, the balance of this festive wonder revealed itself.
The inspo
This blend started with a simple idea: capturing the flavours we associate most strongly with Christmas cooking.
Think classic roast dinners. Golden potatoes. Stuffing crisping at the edges. Kitchens filled with the unmistakable scent of herbs and warmth.
Inspired by those nostalgic herby flavours, ‘Tis The Seasoning is packed with sage, rosemary and onion, the backbone of so many festive favourites. From there, we layered in maple sugar for a gentle, luxurious sweetness, and finished with mace and clove, bringing heady, wintery warmth that feels instantly seasonal without overpowering the dish.
The result is a blend that feels comforting, familiar, and just special enough to mark the occasion.
Why it works
Like all Field Blends seasonings, this one is designed for real cooking, the kind that happens in home kitchens, at festive tables, or even around a campsite stove.
It’s:
Herby and savoury, rather than sweet
Warming, but balanced
Versatile, so you’ll use it beyond one meal
It’s the seasoning you reach for when you want something to taste like Christmas, without having to think too hard about it.
How we use ‘Tis the seasoning
There are no rules, but here are a few places it really shines:
Stuffing, pork or veggie, it brings instant festive depth
A big bird, slathered generously before roasting
Roasted root vegetables, where the maple sugar caramelises beautifully
Potatoes, because of course
It’s just as happy seasoning up midweek winter dinners as it is centre-stage on Christmas Day.
Limited edition batch
‘Tis The Seasoning comes presented in a limited edition festive tin, which makes it pretty great for gifting, to cooks, campers, or anyone you like enough to share good flavour with. Just saying.
It’s only around for a short time each year, making it one of those blends that feels all the more special when it’s in your cupboard.
We hope it earns a place at your table (or campsite) this season, and becomes part of your own festive rituals, wherever you cook.
Here’s to herby roasts, warm kitchens, and seasoning generously.
