🌱 How are flavored teas made?
Making a flavored tea begins with choosing tea leaves.
Large, whole leaves are ideal, as they absorb aromas better. Then, flowers, dried fruits, spices or herbs are selected. Jasmine, pieces of bergamot or citrus fruits, and spices such as cinnamon are often used, as these ingredients have a strong perfume power.
The tea leaves and selected ingredients are arranged in alternating layers, allowing the leaves to gradually absorb the scents. This technique is called contact flavoring. Essential oils or flavors are sprayed onto the leaves to intensify the final taste of the tea. Finally, the scented leaves are mixed to uniform the aromas and stored in airtight containers.
🍵 How to prepare your tea properly
With these instructions, you can brew your tea to perfection without the risk of burning it or steeping it for too long. Rooibos doesn't mind steeping for longer, making it ideal for the airheads. On the other hand, all other types of tea are sensitive to steeping time and heat because tea is a delicate plant.
Black Tea : Heat the water: 80-85°C. Quantity of tea: 1 teaspoon (4g) per cup. Infusion: 3 to 5 minutes.
Oolong Tea : Heat water: 80-85°C. Tea quantity: 1 teaspoon (4g) per cup. Infusion: 3 to 5 minutes.
Good tasting !
❄️ Cold infusion
Put 10 to 20g of tea in 1L of cold or room temperature water. Divide into two disposable tea bags Le Jardin de Mademoiselle. Iced tea is not an exact science: the colder the water and the larger the container, the slower the tea will infuse. Taste after the first hour. If it does not have enough flavor, add 30 minutes. Taste every additional 30 minutes until its flavors are diffused into the water.
