Tasting Notes
Rich as an Assam with spicy top notes and honey blossom aroma. Remarkably for such an elegant hand-made tea it has enough body to take milk.
Quantity
Use 0.1 oz of leaf per 5.5 fl oz of water (2.5g per 150ml).
Temperature
For the optimum infusion use 176°F (80°C) water. If you like milk, use 194°F (90°C) water.
Time
Infuse for 1 - 2 minutes, tasting regularly.
Infusions
You can infuse this tea at least twice. With each careful infusion, different subtleties of flavour are revealed.
Cost Per Cup
46¢ per cup based on 0.1 oz of leaf per 5.5 fl oz of water and 2 infusions.
ANTIOXIDANTS
Huntingdon Hand Rolled
The tea varietal is particularly rich in antioxidants and theanine. To extract the best flavours the leaf is harvested with great care over a few short months from selected fields. It is transported in crates rather than sacks to prevent bruising. This delicate handling reveals elegant complexity.
