Opposite is a photograph showing the outer packing carton, back and front view. The front view shows the three oval transparent windows and the rear view contains the three descriptions of the liquor of the enclosed teas.

INDIAN TEA PACKS: The cartons for the Indian teas are identifiable with their identy colouring of rust brown.

Brewing:   For black teas we recommend that the freshly drawn water is allowed to boil to the point of vibration when the first bubbles rise and then poured from the kettle swiftly and with a swirling action on to the leaf in the pot. To allow the kettle to proceed to the cut off click reduces the oxygen (life) in the water. Green leaf tea requires a lower temperature water at approximately 80 - 90 ^o C (176 - 194 F) and brewing for a shorter time e.g 1.5 to 2.5 minutes. Some green teas may require a longer time to suit some palates e.g. Silver Tips.

    For teas with milk brew for 3 - 5 minutes to your palate requirement. For teas to be drunk without milk reduce the amount of leaf normally used for with milk. e.g. 1 level or heaped spoon per 2 cup pot and brewed for 2.5  - 3.5 minutes will produce a lighter liquor with accentuated flavour and aroma.
ICED TEA:    Brew at double strength and pour into a glass or glasses filled with ice.
