What it is
These are standard black tea bags, offering a familiar and comforting beverage. Each bag contains a blend of tea leaves designed to produce a robust and full-bodied flavor.

How people cook with it
Tea bags are a staple in many kitchens for a quick and easy hot drink. They are perfect for a morning wake-up or an afternoon break.
- Morning tea
- Afternoon refreshment
- With milk and sugar
- Iced tea base
To prepare, place one tea bag in a mug. Pour freshly boiled water over the bag. Allow it to steep for the desired strength, typically 2-3 minutes. Remove the tea bag and discard. Many people enjoy adding milk, sugar, or lemon to suit their personal preference. For a stronger brew, use two tea bags or steep for a longer period. This tea can also be cooled and served over ice for a refreshing cold beverage.

How to keep the rest
After opening, keep the tea bag box in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strong odors. This helps to preserve the freshness and flavor of the tea. Ensure the box is closed properly to prevent moisture from affecting the tea.
