Flavored Black·Loose leaf

Apricot

Rich·Juicy

Rich apricot flavored tea with lovely yellow-orange calendula flower petals.

Add a dash of sugar to enhance the flavor. Makes stunning iced tea.

Brewing Tempurature: 100ºC/212ºF
Hot Brewing:
Bring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea for each 7-9oz / 200-260ml of fluid volume in the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 4-5 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea).

Iced Tea Brewing (Individual Serving):
Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea or 1 tea bag into a teapot for each serving required. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 6-7oz/170-200ml per serving over the tea. Cover and let steep for 5 minutes. Add hot tea to a 12oz/375ml acrylic glass filled with ice, straining the tea or removing the bags. Not all of the tea will fit, allowing for approximately an additional ½ serving. Sweeten and/or add lemon to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted. (Note: Some luxury quality teas may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of luxury quality and nothing to worry about!)

The Leaf Log

Flavored black teas tend to work best with fully oxidized black leaves as their template. A bright, malty undertone supports most any fruit or floral combination you can think to throw at it! It’s enjoyable year-round, hot or cold.

How to make it

Steeping guide

Green tea is easy to get wrong in exactly one way: water that is too hot. Everything after that is forgiving.

  1. Heat the water to 212°F

    Black tea works best with piping-hot water.

  2. Measure 3 grams per cup

    About one heaping teaspoon for an 8 oz cup (~250 mL).

  3. Steep 3 to 5 minutes

    Go shorter if served on its own, longer if had with milk or sugar.

  4. Enjoy!

    Most quality tea can give two or three good steeps. Add an extra thirty seconds each time.
