The Standard

We have received many requests for this tea and we are happy to oblige. An exquisite black tea that creates an iced tea better than the one you remember. Reflecting a deep, rich flavor but never crossing into astringency, this tea is an all-day sipper when the mercury rises.

Hot Steeping Method

  • Measure 1 Tbsp of loose-leaf tea for every 8 oz of water.
  • Place the tea into the teapot, tea sack, brew basket, or bottom of a French press.
  • Fill your brewing vessel with water just off a boil.
  • Steep the tea for 4 minutes and remove the used tea leaves or dispense the brewed tea.
  • Allow the tea to cool at least room temperature or refrigerate before serving over ice.

Cold Steeping Method

  • Measure out 3-4 Tbsp or 12-15 grams into a 1quart lidded container.
  • Fill the container with cold water and refrigerate at least 8 hours.
  • Strain and serve.
