About Cinnamon
A flavored tea with a sweet and spicy cinnamon aroma, perfect for the cold season. Add milk and sugar for a cinnamon milk tea. Pair it with apples for an apple pie-like fragrance, making it ideal for the holiday season.
How to brew
Good tea comes down to three basics: the amount of leaves, fresh boiling water, and steeping time. Use about one teaspoon (3g) of leaves per cup, pour freshly boiled water at 95–100°C briskly over them, put the lid on the pot, and steep for 2.5–3 minutes. When the leaves circulate up and down in the pot (the 'jumping' effect), the aroma and flavor come out well.
- As a milk tea
- Full-bodied teas pair well with milk. Use slightly more leaves and steep a bit longer (3–4 minutes) for a strong brew, then add room-temperature milk afterwards. Not overheating the milk lets the tea's aroma shine.
