About Framboise
A fruity flavored tea infused with the sweet and tangy aroma of raspberries. The refreshing scent is enhanced when served as iced tea, making it particularly popular among women due to its charming appearance. It pairs well with berry-based desserts.
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 straight tea
- Enjoy the tea's natural aroma and liquor color. Steep for about 2.5–3 minutes; shorten it slightly if you find it too astringent. Pour out to the very last drop (the 'best drop') so the second cup keeps the same strength.
- As iced tea
- Brew strong with double the leaves, then pour all at once over a glass full of ice to chill it rapidly (the on-the-rocks method). Quick chilling prevents 'cream down' (the cloudiness that forms when tea cools) for a clear result.
