The Art of Brewing and Enjoying Earl Grey Tea
How do I properly brew and enjoy Earl Grey Tea?
Brewing the perfect cup of Earl Grey Tea is an art that involves precision and care. Here's how to do it:
Quality Water and Temperature: Begin with fresh, pure water. Heat it to just below boiling point, around 200°F (93°C), for black tea. For our organic green tea-infused Earl Grey, a slightly lower temperature around 175°F (80°C) is ideal.
Measuring and Steeping: Measure one teaspoon of Earl Grey Tea leaves per cup. Place the leaves in a teapot or infuser. Pour the hot water over the leaves and steep for about 3-5 minutes for black tea and 2-3 minutes for green tea-infused Earl Grey.
Savoring the Aroma: As you steep, the enchanting aroma of bergamot will fill the air. Close your eyes and immerse yourself in the moment.
Optional Enhancements: Earl Grey can be enjoyed as is or with a touch of honey or a slice of lemon to amplify its flavors.
Sip and Enjoy: Pour the steeped tea into your favorite cup. Take a moment to appreciate the rich amber hue and inhale the citrusy aroma. Each sip is a journey of flavors, embodying the legacy of Earl Grey Tea.
