For
a Brillant Brew:
Begin with fresh water. Bring to a rolling boil and
remove kettle from heat. Swirl a bit in yout teapot
(or cup) to warm. Toss in 1 teaspoon of tea leaves per
cup and pour the hot water over the leaves. Cover and
infuse. Strain into a warm cup.
Best Brew Guide:
Black & Oolong: 4-5 min.
Green: 2-3 min.
Herbals / Tisanes: 5 min.
All teas naturally contain caffeine - on average 50
mg/cup. Herbals are naturally caffeine free.
Did You Know.....
Next to water, tea is the most widely consumed beverage
in the world! In 2005, Americans alone consumed over
50 billion servings. Tea contains no sodium, fat or
sugar and is naturally low in caffeine and has virtually
0 calories.
Believe it or not, all tea comes
from a single species of one plant called Camellia.
Tea types are categorized solely by the level of processing.
During fermentation the leaves are oxidized to different
stages, resulting in varied levels of color and pungency.
