The basic process for brewing tea can vary, but for black tea it goes something like this:

1. Warm the teapot by rinsing it out with hot water.
2. Boil water and always use fresh water from the tap (water that has already been boiled before affects the taste of the tea negatively).
3. Add a teaspoon (approx. 2 g) of tea leaves for each person and an extra one for the pot. The tea needs as much space as possible to move, the more space the more flavor can be released.
4. When the water has reached a temperature of 95-100 degrees it is time to pour it over the tea leaves, do not stir but let the tea leaves move as they wish.
5. Let the tea steep for 3-5 minutes and enjoy.

By the way, did you know that the taste of the tea is affected by the hardness of the water? Soft water generally brings out the flavors of the tea better than hard (calcareous) water. Even the shape of the cup can affect taste and experience. A cupped cup enhances aromas and keeps the heat much longer, while a wide cup is often easier to hold and allows you to enjoy the colour of the tea. But in the end, the most important thing is that you enjoy your tea your way – don’t be afraid to experiment and find what suits you best.

Our organic black tea comes from small-scale producers in Rwanda, from a cooperative of 3,500 tea growers in a province in northern Rwanda. The cooperative was founded with the aim of promoting rural development and increasing the income of farmers.

We are proud to be involved in creating markets for these producers, which in the long run will contribute to increased job opportunities and reduced poverty.
