Characteristics
: These packs have been developed
for use as a starter pack, giving the purchaser a selection of 3 x 125g
cartons in a range of districts and therefore flavour types. They also double
as very acceptable gift packs.
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.
Flavoured Teas: For the loose reas in this range a number of combinations are used to enhance the leaf. Not only is 100 % Natural flavouring used without the support of any Nature Identical flavouring which adds to the cost of the product but also we have used the dried fruits and some flower petals added as well.
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 F (176 - 194 o 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.
For these flavoured
teas we would recommend drinking these without any other addition to the liquor.
ICED TEA:
Brew at double strength and pour into a glass or glasses filled with ice.
