Kumaon Black Tea
1. Measure the Tea:
Use 1 teaspoon of loose-leaf Kumaon Black Tea per 8 ounces of water. For a stronger brew, add a bit more tea.
2. Heat the Water:
Bring fresh water to a boil, around 200°F to 212°F (just at boiling). Kumaon Black Tea thrives with hotter water to unlock its rich flavors.
3. Steep with Care:
Pour the hot water over the tea leaves and let steep for 3-5 minutes. For a lighter taste, go for a shorter steep; for a bolder flavor, let it steep longer. Avoid steeping beyond 5 minutes to prevent bitterness.
4. Strain and Enjoy:
Remove the tea leaves, pour your tea into a cup, and savor it plain or with a splash of milk and a touch of honey for added sweetness.
5. Experiment and Personalize:
Kumaon Black Tea’s bold flavor pairs well with spices like cinnamon or cardamom for a spiced twist. Feel free to explore and find your perfect cup!
