08.01.2008 : Tea of the Month for August - Macau Mango with Lemon

Macau Mango with Lemon Tea: Herbal / Tisane - "Infusion of Herbs", Caffeine-Free
Aroma: Sweet Mango and Lemon
Flavor: Medium

In The Cup

Exotic sweet mango lends its tangy essence to a variety of sultry herbs, accented with lemon.

Brewing Herbal / Tisane Hot Tea

For best flavor, we recommend:

  • Steeping the loose leaves for 5 to 7 minutes in very hot – but not boiling – water.
  • Promptly remove the spent tea leaves from the brew, to avoid over extraction and bitterness.

Brewing Iced Tea

Large Batch

  • For every half gallon (64 oz.) batch: use 1 – 1.25 oz of loose tea in a paper filter
  • Brew a half-gallon batch into a 1-gallon heat-resistant container. Allow tea to cool uncovered on the counter for 2 hours.
  • Store tea base in the refrigerator

Large Batch, Immediate Cooling

  • For every half gallon (64 oz.) batch: use 2 oz of loose tea in a paper filter
  • Brew a half-gallon batch into a 1-gallon heat-resistant container half full with ice. Hot tea melts, chilled, and is diluted instantly by ice. Stir well to completely dissolve ice.
  • Store tea base in the refrigerator

NOTE:

  • Brew today what you will sell tomorrow;
  • Do not keep brewed iced tea for longer than 24 hours.
