In their native tongue, \u003cem\u003eMalagasy\u003c\/em\u003e, they called it \u003cem\u003eampongabendanitra, \u003c\/em\u003eor \"the great drum of heaven.\" Countless uses for the versatile fruit were discovered with no part ever wasted. From the leaves, they made ink, from the skin, treatments for stomach ailments, the bark was used as a vermifuge, (for ridding the body of parasites) and the fruit was used to make wine. An amazing fruit to be sure, and that's before we consider the high antioxidant levels in the fresh fruit. So, it should come as no surprise that in 2005, when a list of \"Superfruits\" was coined by the food and beverage industry, Pomegranates featured prominently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe've found another fantastic use for this amazing fruit - a sweet addition to our fabulous high grown Ceylon tea. What's more, in homage to another tasty treat from Madagascar, we've blended it with the sultry essence of orchid vanilla. The resulting cup is outstanding - winey pomegranate notes on the nose; touches of astringent fruit and a velvety smooth vanilla finish. Thank the heavens for this one - we do!\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\u003cspan\u003eNuwara Eliya, Dimbula or Uva districts\u003c\/span\u003e\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\u003cspan\u003e4800 - 7600 feet above sea level\u003c\/span\u003e\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, Sunflower + Calendula petals, Safflower petals, Natural dried lemon pieces, Natural flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e One-of-a-kind notes of sweetly astringent pomegranate are mellowed with sweet Madagascar vanilla.

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":1867379009,"sku":"234-100","price":11.06,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 g","offer_id":1867379073,"sku":"234-250","price":21.51,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 g","offer_id":1867379137,"sku":"234-500","price":32.57,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg","offer_id":1867379201,"sku":"234-1000","price":61.45,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/3859\/products\/234.jpeg?v=1442448471","url":"https:\/\/coasttocoasttea.ca\/products\/pomegranate-vanilla-lemur-black-tea","provider":"Coast To Coast Tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
