Brewing Instructions

When one thinks about tea, one thinks about England. When one thinks about England, naturally one things about London, and one thinks about London, one thinks about St. Paul`s Cathedral. A Cathedral dedicated to St. Paul has overlooked Britain's capital city since 640 AD. Over the centuries many different buildings have occupied the site, some of these ravaged by war, others by fire. In fact, the current Cathedral was built between 1675 and 1710 after its predecessor was destroyed in the Great Fire of London. The Cathedral has seen its fair share of important services of the years from the funerals of Horatio Nelson, and Winston Churchill, to the wedding of Charles and Diana to the birthday celebrations of Queen Elizabeth and the late Queen Mother. With such a long history, and treasured place in the annals of British history, it seemed only fitting that we dedicate a tea to St. Paul's.

In order to create a blend worthy of such an institution, our Master blender determined that the teas used should come from the historic growing regions of the old British Empire. He also felt the blend should be rounded off with a tea from the historic birthplace of tea itself, China. Finally, the tea should have a hint of the Queen's favorite tea, Earl Grey. Subsequently, three teas were used: an Indian from Assam, a Dimbula from Ceylon, and a China black from Anhui Province. The Assam gives the blend a delicious, thick malty character that is wonderfully offset by the fresh astringency of the Ceylon and the regional nuances of the Chinese tea. This result is a truly fabulous cuppa. Brew a pot, add a splash of milk, a dash of sugar, and raise a toast to St. Paul's and merry old England. Cheers!

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 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 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 single serve packets 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 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 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.
