What it is

The packaging ensures freshness and convenience for preparing a single serving of the tea. Each bag is designed to steep easily in hot water, releasing the natural essence of the guava leaves.

To prepare, place one tea bag into a mug. Pour hot, but not boiling, water over the tea bag. Allow it to steep for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on your desired strength. Remove the tea bag and discard. You can sweeten the tea with honey or sugar if preferred. For an iced version, brew a stronger batch, let it cool, and serve over ice. It can also be combined with other herbs or spices for a custom blend.

Unlike traditional teas derived from the Camellia sinensis plant, guava leaf tea is an herbal infusion. It does not contain caffeine and offers a unique, earthy flavor profile that is distinct from black, green, or oolong teas. The aroma is also a key characteristic.

How to keep the rest
Store the unused tea bags in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the container is sealed to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption. This will help preserve the flavor and aroma of the guava leaves.
