It is designed to be brewed and enjoyed as a hot beverage, offering a comforting and aromatic experience. The leaves are dried and processed to preserve their natural characteristics and deliver a satisfying cup.

To prepare, heat fresh, cold water to just below boiling. 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 desired strength. Remove the tea bag or strain the leaves. For a stronger flavor, you can steep for a bit longer. This tea is excellent served hot, allowing its full aroma to develop.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to lighter teas, this black tea blend offers a more pronounced body and a deeper, maltier flavor. Its briskness makes it a good choice for those who prefer a tea with more character and a satisfying finish, standing up well to additions like milk.
Who it is for
Anyone looking for a classic, full-bodied black tea to enjoy throughout the day.
How to keep the rest
Store the remaining tea in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strong odors. This will help maintain its freshness and prevent the delicate flavors from degrading over time, ensuring a good brew with every use.
