About This Blend
Like a painter approaching his canvas, the TEALEAVES Tea Master approaches a new blend equipped with a palate of flavors and aromas. Deftly layering flavors, he creates teas with exceptional complexity and meaning, capturing the inspiration for the blend. An uncompromising craftsman, he will not accept mediocrity, choosing to destroy blends he is not happy with rather than let them pass another's lips. The Tea Master's blending philosophy is simple; allow the radiance and purity of each element to shine and intertwine in anarchic harmony. The essence of tea is slow and intentional, not seeking but open to inspiration from art and beauty in everyday life.
Black tea should be steeped for 2-3 minutes at a temperature of 210°F or 99°C.
Black tea is the only tea group in which milk, honey, lemon and sugar pair nicely with.
Black tea does contain caffeine. To illustrate, one would need to roughly drink 3 cups of black tea to equal the same content caffeine as 1 cup of drip coffee.
