April’s teas are:
Strawberry Green
Description:
Only the best Japanese Sencha green tea flavored with small pieces of luscious strawberry.
About:
Sencha is known for its exquisite balance of sweetness, bitterness, richness, astringency and fragrance. The best way to prepare Sencha is to put at least 2 tablespoons in a pot and add about 3 cups of 80˚C water. It’s ready to serve after only about 1 minute of steeping and more water can be added without further steeping.
Instructions:
Excellent iced or hot. 1 oz makes a gallon. Steep for 1-2 minutes.
Lazy Earl
Description:
This interesting blend is a spin on the classic Earl Grey we all know and love. It includes an excellent Earl Grey with notes of bergamot, but added in are hints of molasses and caramel aroma.
About:
The Earl Grey blend is assumed to be named after the 2nd Earl Grey, British Prime Minister in the 1830s who reputedly received a gift of tea flavored with bergamot oil. This modified Earl makes for a dense and decadent cup of tea. The maltiness of this tea could even make it a candidate for brewing with milk and honey.
Instructions:
1 oz makes a gallon. Steep for 3-5 minutes.
