The story of Cinnamon began in ancient Egypt where it was prized for its sweet aroma. The Egyptians used it to purify the tombs of the Pharaohs and believed it to be a valuable commodity in the spirit world. Vanilla too has an ancient history. Native to Central America, the spice is believed to have been first used by the Aztecs as an additive to chocolate as far back as 200 b.c. If one were to add up the combined histories of both spices, (given that Tutankhamen was born at about 1350 b.c.), the ingredients in this tea blend would have a combined age of 5558 years! Celebrate this venerable history by brewing a pot of this magnificent tea. Taste how the sweet scent of cinnamon pairs beautifully with the vanilla. Enjoy it on its own or enhance the flavor with a dash of sugar - a magnificent tea.\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\u003eNuwara 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\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\u003cspan\u003eLuxury black tea, Cinnamon, Sunflower + Calendula petals, Natural flavors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics: \u003c\/strong\u003eInfusion produces a velvety 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":1867422081,"sku":"252-100","price":11.06,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 g","offer_id":1867422145,"sku":"252-250","price":21.51,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 g","offer_id":1867422209,"sku":"252-500","price":32.57,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg","offer_id":1867422273,"sku":"252-1000","price":61.45,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/3859\/products\/252.jpeg?v=1442448331","url":"https:\/\/coasttocoasttea.ca\/products\/vanilla-cinnamon-black-tea","provider":"Coast To Coast Tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
