In the New World, pie-making took an innovative turn. While most recipes in the old country called for meat filling, in North America the Pilgrims were forced to adapt to the local produce shown to them by North America's native people. The first of these adaptations involved making pies filled with the wild berries that grew in abundance throughout the new colonies. One of the most popular of the new fillings was blueberry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday blueberries are available in every supermarket. To the Pligrims however, fresh off the boat from England, the tiny blue berries were incredibly exotic. As a pie-filler, they offered sweet, tangy depths and had the added bonus of being packed full of vitamins. (Although the Pilgrims couldn't have known this.) Over the years, as pie trends came and went, blueberry carved out a place in the great pie pantheon. Blueberry Pie flavored green tea captures all the bright berry flavor of everyone's favorite. Brew a pot today and celebrate a few hundred years of tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA little about our base tea:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePekoe Gunpowder is one of the stronger green teas on the market. During manufacture, each individual leaf is hand rolled in a process that hasn't changed for centuries. As the leaf is rolled, proteins break down and are forced to the leaf surface where they develop a full-bodied flavor. The leaf is then fired to maintain its rounded shape and nuance. Although this tea is exceptional on its own, its character lends itself well to flavoring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Green\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sri Lanka, Canada, Egypt\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uva -Welimada, Ontario, Nile Delta\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pekoe Gunpowder\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2500'-5000' ft. above sea level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orthodox\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Luxury green tea, Calendula petals, Natural dried apple, Natural flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet and tangy.

The secret is to use water that is about 180'F or 90'C. Place 1 teaspoon of leaves in you cup and let the tea steep for about 3 minutes and then begin enjoying a cup of enchantment - do not remove the leaves from the cup. Once the water level is low - add more water, and so on and so on - until the flavor of the tea is exhausted. Look at the pattern of the leaves in the brew - they foretell life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrewing Cold\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(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. [A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water.]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Specialist Tea Company","offers":[{"title":"100 g","offer_id":1223929173,"sku":"3-100","price":10.58,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 g","offer_id":1223929177,"sku":"3-250","price":20.58,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 g","offer_id":1223929181,"sku":"3-500","price":31.16,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg","offer_id":1223929185,"sku":"3\/1\/1000","price":58.8,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/3859\/products\/3.jpeg?v=1442449255","url":"https:\/\/coasttocoasttea.ca\/products\/blueberry-pie-green-tea","provider":"Coast To Coast Tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
