On the 19th of June, 1973, "The Rocky Horror Show", the brainchild of writer Richard O'Brien, was unleashed on an unsuspecting London audience to great fanfare. The show, which would win two awards for Best New Musical that year, chronicles the adventures of Dr. Frank N. Furter, a mad scientist of sorts, and an assorted cast of other zany characters. Unbelievably, the stage show is still running, as is its 1975 film adaptation, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", which to this day remains the longest running theatrical release in motion picture history.
So, where does tea fit in? Good question. Since it made its NYC debut in 1976, the film has spawned a formidable cult following centered on audience interaction with the screen. Throughout the movie audience members throw all sorts of things at the movie including toast, playing cards, kit kat bars and confetti. (We wouldn't want to have to clean the theatre after a screening!) As a long time fan of the film, our Master Taster wanted to commemorate it in tea, and while we couldn't very well add toast or playing cards to a blend, we could, and did add the last item mentioned, candy confetti.
As a reference to the film's spicy storyline, we've based the blend on our world famous pumpkin spice blend which combines the flavors of hibiscus, rosehip, rooibos, cinnamon, apple and orange with pieces of tiny candy confetti. A luscious tea - the perfect pick-me-up to enjoy before a midnight screening!

Brewing Hot
Bring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea, 1 tea bag or 1 Q3 portion control pack 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). Add milk and sugar to taste.
Brewing Cold
Iced tea brewing method (Pitcher): (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 slightly heaping teaspoons of loose tea, 6 tea bags or 6 Q3 portion packs into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 1 1/4 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, 1 tea bag or 1 Q3 portion control pack 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 1/2 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!)
