Papaya (Latin: Carica papaya), have been grown in the tropical regions of the world for at least as long as history has been recorded. The sweet pulpy fruit is commonly thought to have originated in the West Indies. Spanish sailors to the New World, impressed by their sweet flavor, introduced them to their colonies in Manila in the mid 1500's. From there, the fruit was brought to Malacca, then India, and finally to Hawaii in the early part of the 18th century. When plucked and ripened properly, a papaya is juicy, slightly sweet, and has a unique and agreeable musky tang, (some liken the taste of the fruit to that of a cantaloupe). This unique flavor profile imparts our papaya tea blend with an equally unique character. Try this one hot, or pour it over ice for a real tropical treat. Like we said, mmm...papaya.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sri Lanka\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nuwara Eliya, Dimbula or Uva districts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e OP (Orange Pekoe)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4800 - 7600 feet 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 black tea, Natural dried papaya, Freeze dried papaya, Lime leaves, Sunflower + calendula petals, Natural flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics: \u003c\/strong\u003eSweet and slightly tangy character.

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). Even though milk and a dash of sugar help enhance the flavor character on this tea, it is perfectly acceptable to consume this tea straight-up.\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]. 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!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Specialist Tea Company","offers":[{"title":"100 g","offer_id":1867368897,"sku":"221-100","price":11.06,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 g","offer_id":1867368961,"sku":"221-250","price":21.51,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 g","offer_id":1867369025,"sku":"221-500","price":32.57,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg","offer_id":1867369089,"sku":"221-100","price":61.45,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/3859\/products\/221.jpeg?v=1442448509","url":"https:\/\/coasttocoasttea.ca\/products\/papaya-black-tea","provider":"Coast To Coast Tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
