Brewing Instructions

What do you call a tea that's one part black, one part green, three parts berries and four parts flowers?

We've racked our brains over this one for years. Do we go with Bountiful Berry? We could, there certainly are berries in the blend - elderberries, dried currants and cranberries to be exact. And the tart and tangy profile they impart is "bountifully" evident from the very first sip. But perhaps that name discounts the fact that this blend holds the unique position of being one of the only blends in the tea world to contain both black and green teas?

Ok, perhaps we should call it Black and Green Berry Tea. However, aside from the fact that that name is about as exciting as watching paint dry, it doesn't take into consideration the fact that the blend has been further rounded out by Hibiscus, Calendula, Sunflower and Jasmine petals. (A heady floral mix if ever there was one.)

Ok, so perhaps we should call the tea Black and Green Fruit and Flower tea. That's not bad - it has all the ingredients listed in a logical and easy to understand order. BUT...where's the romance...the nuance...the innuendo? We aren't accountants taking inventory here people - we're selling tea! And tea as we all know is quite possibly one of the most storied and romantic products out there.

So aha, think we, M̩nage a Tea. That has some nuance...some innuendo...plus it speaks to the fact that this blend is about as mixed up as a blend could be. All those ingredients! All those flavors swirling in the mouth! All those incredible anti-oxidants from the black tea, the green tea and the berries! This tea has it all. Try it. And trust us, you'll never forget your first time.

Brewing Hot

Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 teaspoon of tea for each cup into 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

(to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 teaspoons of tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the leaves. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. Please note that this tea may tend to go cloudy or milky when poured over ice; a perfectly normal characteristic of some high quality black teas and nothing to worry about!
