INFORMATION:
Earl Grey tea is enjoyed the world over by real people who appreciate its depth of character, sweet citrus notes, and palate cleansing finish. The tea is however also enjoyed by people who are not real in any way, other than on the printed page or silver screen. Perhaps more than any other tea, Earl Grey appears to have been the beverage of choice for one fictitious character after the next. From James Bond, to Star Trek’s Captain Jean-Luc Picard, to Sir Leigh Teabing of the DaVinci code, Earl Grey holds a special place in the world of storytelling. And why not? The tea itself has quite a story having apparently been given as a gift to a British diplomat by a Chinese Mandarin in thanks for saving his life.
Whether or not you believe that story, one fact that is definitely beyond reproach is that Earl Grey is a wonderful and soothing tea any time of the day. The organic variety we offer here is no exception. This tea is 100% natural, no chemicals or pesticides were used in its production – what you see, smell, and taste – is what you get. We’ve not been approached by any movie producers yet about sponsoring any upcoming 007 productions, but if Hollywood producers do come a-knocking, with their healthy Californian lifestyles, this is the tea we’re going to be serving!

Ideal Brewing
Temperature: 100ºC/212ºF
HOT BREWING METHOD:
Bring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 slightly
heaping teaspoon of loose tea for each 7-9oz / 200-260ml of fluid volume in the
teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7
minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea).
ICED TEA BREWING METHOD
(Pitcher): (to make 1 liter/quart):
Place 6 slightly heaping teaspoons of loose tea or 6 tea bags into a teapot or
heat resistant pitcher. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and
pour 1¼ cups/315ml over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a
serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher
straining the tea or removing the tea bags. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with
cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing fresh
brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured
over ice and diluted with cold water. (Note: Some luxury quality teas may turn
cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of luxury quality and nothing to
worry about.)
ICED TEA BREWING METHOD
(Individual Serving):
Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea or 1 tea bag into a teapot for
each serving required. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and
pour 6-7oz/170-200ml per serving over the tea. Cover and let steep for 5
minutes. Add hot tea to a 12oz/375ml acrylic glass filled with ice, straining
the tea or removing the bags. Not all of the tea will fit, allowing for
approximately an additional ½ serving. Sweeten and/or add lemon to
taste. A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to increase the
strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted. (Note: Some
luxury quality teas may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of
luxury quality and nothing to worry about!)
FOOD SAFETY ADVISORY:
We strongly recommend using filtered or freshly drawn cold water brought to a
rolling boil when brewing all types of tea. Today’s water has been known to
carry viruses, parasites and bacteria. Boiling the water will kill these
elements and reduce the potential incidence of water-borne illnesses.
