What is it about waterfront property that makes it so appealing? The call of sea birds overhead? Warm breezes blowing in off the water? Fishing boats put-putting out to the great deeps? It's impossible to pinpoint one feature on its own - the answer of course is all of the above. In the same way you might ask -what makes At the Waterfront herbal tea so appealing? Is it the spearmint? The peppermint? The South African Honeybush? Again the answer is all of the above. Let's break it down to discover why.

Spearmint (Mentha spicata) -Native to Europe and parts of Asia, natural health practitioners believe that spearmint engenders a calming effect on the digestive system. The spicy herb also packs a full-bodied minty flavor.
Peppermint (Mentha piperita) -Often referred to as the world's oldest medicine, Peppermint was used by the ancient Greeks and Egyptians as a nerve tonic and stimulant. Stimulant eh? One taste and you'll see why.
Rosebuds -Roses have been used to flavor beverages since at least the days of the ancient Egyptians. Their addition to this blend adds subtle floral notes reminiscent of late summer.
Hibiscus -The petals of the hibiscus flower, one of the most beautiful exotic flowers on earth, has been used to make herbal teas from Mexico to the Sudan. Worldwide, there are more than 220 known varieties of this stunning flower.
Osmanthus -A highly fragrant flower. On their own, they produce a rich, floral cup. As part of a blend they add a well-balanced, herbaceous layer of flavor. Used as an herbal tea in China for millennia.
Camomile -Arguably one of the world's most popular herbal teas, camomile has been grown in Egypt since the days of the pharaohs. Known to aid digestion and engender an overall feeling of well-being. Great before bed.
Honeybush (Cyclopia) -Native to South Africa, Honeybush is known in Afrikaans as "Heuningbos" The plant gets its name by virtue of the fact that the leaves produce a sweet, honey-ish tea. Similar in character to Rooibos, with added sweetness

Put all the above together and you've got an amazing cup of herbal tea. Wake up at the waterfront.

Brewing Hot

Bring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 teaspoon of herbal tea, 1 tea bag or 1 Q3 single serve packet for each 7-9oz/200-260ml of fluid volume in the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 5-10 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time, the better the flavor as more fruit and herb flavor is extracted). Garnish and sweeten to taste.

Brewing Cold

Iced tea brewing method (Pitcher): (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 12 slightly heaping teaspoons of herbal tea, 6 tea bags or 6 Q3 single serve packets into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 1 1/3 cups/315ml over the herbal tea. Steep for 5-10 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 herb & fruit tea is to increase the strength of hot brew since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water.

Iced tea brewing method (Individual Serving): Place 2 slightly heaping teaspoons of herbal tea, 1 tea bag or 1 Q3 single serve packet 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 herbal tea. Cover and let steep for 5-10 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. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed herb & fruit tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted.
