Tasting notes
Sweet strawberry over a bright, brisk Ceylon black tea. The tea keeps its full colour and body, with the berry most noticeable in the aroma and the last sip.
How to brew
- Use one teaspoon (about 2.5 g) of leaf per cup.
- Pour on freshly boiled water.
- Steep for 3 to 5 minutes, then strain.
Serving ideas
Drink it hot without milk, sweetened lightly if you like. It also makes a pleasant iced tea: brew strong, cool, and serve over ice.
