- Base for iced tea
To prepare, heat fresh, cold water to just below boiling point. Place one tea bag or one teaspoon of loose tea per cup into your teapot or mug. Pour the hot water over the tea and let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your preferred strength. Remove the tea bag or strain the leaves. Serve hot. For iced tea, brew a stronger batch, let it cool, and pour over ice.
How it differs from similar foods
Darjeeling black tea is distinct from other black teas due to its lighter body and muscatel notes. It is often described as having a more floral and fruity character compared to the bolder, more robust flavors of teas like Assam or English Breakfast blends. This makes it a more delicate and complex option.
Who it is for
This tea is for anyone who appreciates a refined and aromatic hot beverage.
