broken orange pekoe ceylon black tea (Camellia sinensis).
how to prepare
brewing instructions: steep 1 1/2 teaspoons in 6 oz of hot water for 3 to 5 minutes. strain and enjoy.
steep closer to 3 minutes for a brighter, smoother cup or closer to 5 minutes for a stronger, more robust brew.
best time: morning or early afternoon when you want a bold, naturally caffeinated cup. avoid close to bedtime if you are sensitive to caffeine.
good to know
contains caffeine.
orange pekoe refers to a tea grading system, not orange flavor. the subtle citrus character comes naturally from the tea itself.
broken tea leaves brew more quickly and produce a stronger, fuller-bodied cup than many whole leaf black teas.
enjoy it hot with milk or honey, or brew it strong and pour over ice for a refreshing iced black tea.
warning: contains caffeine and may cause restlessness or sleep disruption in caffeine sensitive individuals. consult a healthcare provider if pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medications.
storage: store in an airtight container in a cool, dark, dry place away from heat, moisture, and strong odors to preserve freshness and flavor.
