1.
Leaf type:
We aim at very high quality teas and therefore we use the very best grade of leaf possible for tea bags. We use B.O.P.F. grade leaf wherever possible. We avoid dust grades.
2. Cartons:
Opposite can be seen a photograph of these tea bags in their carton packs. In both 100 for breakfast and 50 bag for all the range. The Breakfast carton colour is dark green. The Afternoon cartons black, Earl Grey are Magenta coloured. The Organic Bio dynamic tea bag cartons for both black and green tea are light green in colour.
Brewing: Black leaf tea bags: We recommend that freshly drawn water is allowed to heat to 'point of boil' as the kettle vibrates, not to the click when oxygen has been driven off. As the water heats up use some to heat the pot or cup, pouring this away. place the tea bag or bags in the pot or cup and upon boiling pour from the kettle swiftly over the tea bag
Use one bag per cup or one bag per person in the pot. With a tea pot this can be reduced for a lighter brew to your palate.
Brew for 1.5 to 5 minutes again to your palate's requirement.
For Green tea bags please treat as for Green tea with 90 o C (194 F) temperature for best results.
ICED TEA: Brew at double strength and pour into a glass or glasses filled with ice.
