I discovered a new tea company that is in Ohio!
This fall I was at the Prairie Peddler in Butler Ohio. It was a really fun festival, but my favorite part was finding this tea company. I had heard of them before, but never tried their tea. I was excited to meet the mother and son tea team.
This tea is a mix of black and green tea. When I have a tea that is a mix of two kinds of teas I heat the water to the more delicate tea...that is the green tea here. I heated the water to 190 degrees. I then steeped the tea for 4 minutes.
If I remember correctly this tea won an award. I do know that this is the best seller for them and has been for over 15 years.
They say to do a round teaspoon for 6 oz, my mug is 8 oz so I added more tea. You can see the great tea here. Also the papaya chunks. There is some sugar in this one, so be ware of that.
I add my water to my steeper along with the tea and I let it steep and then it drains right into my mug.
This tea is amazing! I love the slight tart of the strawberry mixed with the sweetness of the papaya and sugar. You get a lightness in this tea even though it is a green and black tea. I think it leans more towards a green tea- not in a grassy earthy way, but it the lightness.
This tea deserves the full five tea cups as far as I am concerned. The strawberry notes come through so clearly in this tea. I also get some papaya after notes. This tea is a decent price, $6 for 1.5 oz. I love the flavors that come through. I made this tea warm, but I think this would be a tea that would be wonderful cold too.
