As with many things in life, the earliest known reference to a "honeymoon" occurs in the Bible. Deuteronomy 24:5 states: "When a man is newlywed, he need not go out on a military expedition, nor shall any public duty be imposed on him. He shall be exempt for one year for the sake of his family; to bring joy to the wife he has married."
While the word "honeymoon" isn't actually stated, the implication is clear - once married, people should take some time to enjoy their new relationship status and all the duties that go along with it. It is interesting to note that in the case of the Bible, the honeymoon phase of a marriage lasts for an entire year! More recent sociological studies indicate that the period of sweet bliss post-marriage lasts for a lot less time, one month. (One sweet, blissful month followed, as any married couple can tell you, by a lifetime of struggle!)
Thankfully, the sweet bliss to be found in a cup of tea is something that time can never diminish. At any stage of life, a freshly brewed cup of tea has the ability to lift us out of the malaise of day-to-day life, restore our spirits to honeymoon-like levels and fix any challenges we might face. (As the old saying goes, "A cup of tea has the power to solve any of life's problems.)
Speaking of tea, we are gathered here today dearly beloved, to talk about exactly that. Unlike the honeymoons of Biblical or modern times, Honeymoon blend is exactly the tea to reach for when the moment calls for a reminder of just how sweet and pleasant life can be. A sumptuous blend of African, Indian and Chinese black teas, this blend reaches deep with malty notes, flowery highlights and delicate oily wisps. Quite simply, an excellent tea suitable for celebrating life to the fullest. (Whether you've gotten hitched or not!)

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.

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 å 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.
