synergistic tea! Must be the top quality Ceylon Tea that is used! This tea is
designed for special occasions as well as being a dessert tea – but most
drink it all the time because its taste is so delectable. We know that
vanilla is reported to have 'magical' properties that calm the nerves and
lift the spirit as well as allegedly improving the romantic aspect of one's
life. Indeed, a flavour that is full of mystery and elusiveness. Do not
forget that vanilla was and still is highly prized. On account of this it is
quite expensive and in Eastern Africa where the best vanilla is grown, it is
not uncommon that vanilla rustling occurs. Combine the exotic character of
vanilla with a velvet cream taste and you end up with the 'Cadillac' of
flavored teas! What type of tea do we use, how do we
flavor the tea and why do we use natural flavors? Firstly... we only use high grown teas
from the top 3 tea growing regions of Sri Lanka - Nuwara Eliya, Dimbula and
Uva. These three high-grown districts produce flavorful teas that have
classic ‘Ceylon’ tea character which is noted by floral bouquet and flavor
notes, touches of mild astringency, bright coppery color and, most
importantly - perfect for use as the base tea of our flavored teas. (We have
tested teas from various other origins around the world as base stock for our
flavored teas, but none of these teas made the grade.) Dimbula and the
western estates of Nuwara Eliya have a major quality peak during Jan/Feb,
whereas Uva and the eastern estates of Nuwara Eliya have their peak in
July/Aug. This ‘dual peak period’ allow us to buy the best for our flavored
tea blends several times during the year, ensuring top quality and freshness. Secondly... we use flavoring oils not
crystals to give the tea drinker an olfactory holiday before indulging in a
liquid tea treat. Thirdly… we specify natural flavors. High
quality tea tastes good and natural flavors do not mask the natural taste of
the high grown Ceylon tea. (The norm for many making flavored tea is to use
overpowering artificial flavors, which can be used to hide lower quality
tea). Natural flavors do not leave an aftertaste giving the tea a clean and
true character. It should be noted that natural flavors tend to be somewhat
‘soft ‘ and the flavors slightly muted, but for many this is a refreshing
change and one of the desired attributes of our naturally flavored teas. Hot tea brewing method: Bring freshly drawn cold water to a
rolling boil. Place 1 teaspoon of tea for each cup into the teapot. Pour the
boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 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 liter/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! Payment Payment should be made when the auction closed or listing end .We ship out
