spicy cinnamon flavor. A refreshing and tongue-tickling tea.
Infusion: Bright and Coppery.
Ingredients: Luxury black tea, cinnamon bits, ginger bits,
natural flavors, pear bits.
Information: Cinnamomum zeylanicum is one of the most
commonly used spices in the world. Throughout history,
this pleasant smelling spice has been revered by almost
all cultures in many different time periods. The ancient
Egyptians burned the savory spice during funerals and
believed that the smoke it produced was sacred and
helped carry the spirits of the dead to the afterworld. Later, during the years of European
world exploration in the 15th and 16th centuries, cinnamon became one of the most
sought after commodities of seafaring explorers. It was also during those years that a
belief grew in the ability of the scent of cinnamon to magically attract customers to a place
of business! Nowadays, the spice, also known as Cassia, Sweet Wood, and Gui Zhi is
found in kitchens from Atlanta to Beijing. Luckily for tea drinkers, it can also now be found
as a spicy addition to our high grown Ceylon tea. Brew yourself a pot just once and we're
sure the spicy aroma of cinnamon combined with our tea's pleasant astringency will
magically have you calling us for more in no time!
Hot tea brewing method: Bring freshly drawn cold water to 212°F. Place 2 teaspoons
per 10oz teapot. Pour the water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-5 minutes
according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Even though milk
and a dash of sugar help enhance the flavor character on this tea, it is perfectly
acceptable to consume this tea straight-up.
Iced tea brewing method: (to make 1 quart): Place 6 teaspoons of tea into a teapot or
heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5
minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving
pitcher straining the leaves. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and
sweeten to taste. [A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the
strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water]. Please
note that this tea may tend to go cloudy or "milky" when poured over ice; a perfectly
normal characteristic of some high quality black teas and nothing to worry about!
