All About Tea
How to make Iced Tea
Use 4 Irish Breakfast tea bags and a family size tea pot. Put one tablespoon of castor sugar and 4 mint leaves in the pot and fill with boiling water. Allow to infuse for 20 minutes. Remove the tea bags and allow to cool. Remove the mint leaves.Pour into a jug of ice cubes and add 1/2pt of orange juice, juice of 1/2 lime, 1/2 orange sliced and the other half of the lime sliced and 4 sprigs of mint. Stir and serve over yet more ice in tall glasses. Variations: leave out the orange juice for a clear tea. Use more sugar if you have a sweet tooth! If you want to use loose tea I would suggest one of the strong breakfast varieties like an Assam, the Irish Breakfast or the Labookellie BOP and use 4 heaped teaspoons. Remember to strain it to get rid of the tea leaves and the mint leaves.
Thanks to a lady at a tasting yesterday who suggested that we put iced tea instructions on the site.We made the with orange juice version 11th June and it was VERY refreshing.

Dear Customers
With this long dry spell we have had keeping hydrated is a big challenge but somehow tea always comes up to the mark, be it a rousing cup of Assam or a refreshing light cup of Darjeeling. I have been resting up on the deck of my narrow boat with many a cup of Darjeeling this last month in between packing the new teas like cazy of course!
As it comes arround to the summer holidays I know a number of you just can't go away without your own tea so make sure you get your order in before you set off for your well earned rest.
Have a great summer and take care!
Regards
