How people cook with it
This tea is ideal for starting your day or for an afternoon pick-me-up. It pairs well with a variety of accompaniments.
- Morning brew
- Afternoon tea

To prepare, place one tea bag in a mug or teapot. Pour freshly boiled water over the tea bag. Allow it to steep for the recommended time, typically 3-5 minutes, to achieve the desired strength. For a stronger flavor, you can steep it for a longer period. Remove the tea bag before serving. It can be enjoyed plain, or customized with milk, sugar, honey, or lemon to suit your personal preference.

Compared to milder tea blends, this 'Extra Strong' variety offers a more pronounced and assertive taste. The blend is formulated to deliver a deeper color and a more lingering flavor on the palate. It is designed for those who appreciate a tea that stands up well to additions like milk and sugar without becoming diluted.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
After opening, keep the remaining tea bags in their original packaging or an airtight container. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors to maintain freshness and prevent the tea from absorbing unwanted flavors. This will help preserve the quality of the tea for future use.
