Black Tea

Store dried tea leaves in an airtight container away from light, moisture, and strong odors to maintain freshness and flavor. Brewed tea should be refrigerated and consumed within 1-2 days.

Nutritional values are for brewed black tea without additives. Values can vary slightly based on brewing time and tea concentration.

For a stronger brew, use more tea leaves or steep for a longer time. Be mindful of bitterness with over-steeping.

Experiment with different types of black tea, such as Earl Grey, Assam, or Darjeeling, to discover a variety of flavor profiles.

Fresh, cold water will yield the best flavor. Avoid re-boiling water as it can reduce oxygen content, leading to a flatter taste.

Breakfast foods like toast, pastries, and eggs.

Rich desserts such as chocolate cake or cookies.

Savory dishes like roasted meats or hearty sandwiches.

Using water that is not hot enough, which can result in weak flavor extraction.

Over-steeping the tea, leading to a bitter or astringent taste.

Storing tea leaves improperly, causing them to absorb odors and lose their aroma.
