About Tropical
A vibrant flavored tea that combines the aromas of tropical fruits like passion fruit, pineapple, and mango, perfect for summer. It makes a refreshing cup when served as iced tea with ice or as a fruit-infused tea punch.
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 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.
