Taste Profile:
Assam Tea: Provides a strong, malty, and full-bodied base with hints of sweetness and earthiness. Its robust flavor holds up well to the bold spices.
Black Cardamom: Contributes a smoky and slightly resinous flavor with warm, woody undertones. It adds depth and a unique aroma to the blend.
Cinnamon: Imparts a sweet, spicy, and slightly woody warmth, balancing the robust elements of the tea with a comforting sweetness.
Ginger: Adds a zesty, peppery heat that invigorates the blend, complementing the spices and enhancing the tea’s warming quality.
Cloves: Bring a strong, pungent, and slightly sweet spiciness with a hint of bitterness. Cloves add a deep and aromatic complexity to the tea.
Peppercorn: Adds a subtle, sharp heat and a touch of earthy pungency, rounding out the spice profile with a lively kick.
Overall Impression:
This tea is bold, warming, and invigorating with a rich, spicy aroma. The malty strength of Assam tea is beautifully enhanced by the smoky, sweet, and peppery flavors of the spices. The blend is perfect for chilly days or as a robust, flavorful pick-me-up. Adding milk and sweetener can transform this into a comforting chai, softening the spice while retaining its robust character.
This small-batch, hand-blended loose-leaf tea is great for gifts!
DIRECTIONS:
These easy-to-follow directions are included in your package.
1. Bring 8oz of water to a boil.
2. Place 1 heaping teaspoon of the loose tea blend into a tea bag or tea infuser. You can place the loose tea directly into a teapot or cup to steep but you will need to strain it before you drink the tea.
3. Pour boiling water over the loose tea and let steep for 15 minutes in a covered cup with hot water for maximum flavor. Covering helps prevent any flavors from escaping in the form of steam.
4. Remove the loose tea, add milk or dairy-free milk to taste and sweeten as desired.
5. Enjoy!
