Organic Loose Leaf Black Tea Earl Grey Lavender Features: Sophisticated Early Grey perfumed with Rishi's exquisitely aromatic lavender blossoms Lavender and bergamot citrus aromas in perfect harmony Brews 32 cups USDA Organic Kosher Black Tea Black tea originated in China hundreds of years ago and has since spread throughout the world's major teagrowing regions including India, Sri Lanka, Africa, Latin America, and elsewhere. It is the most commonly consumed category of tea in the world. "Black Tea," as it's called in the West, is known as "Hong Cha" or "Red Tea" in Asia, due to its dark reddish infusion color and dark colored dried tea leaves covered with reddish-orange pekoe. Unlike green tea processing, which attempts to preserve the green color of fresh tea leaves, black tea processing encourages fresh tea leaves to oxidize and change color from green to coppery red. This change in leaf color during processing is referred to as oxidation. The basic steps of black tea processing are picking, withering, tumbling, rolling, oxidation and drying. Based on the region, style and level of oxidation, black teas can be of a light yellow, orange, red or dark infusion color. Rishi Tea Bags One Cup. That's all it takes to completely transform your perception of what a tea bag should be. Rishi Tea has spent years seeking the richest tea varieties, working with the very top growers, fine tuning their best blends, and designing a special knit tea bag that won't hinder the flavor and aroma of their premium teas. Try one cup, and you'll never think of a tea bag in the same way again. Rishi Tea is excited to introduce tea lovers to the fullest flavors and most aromatic, vivid infusions they've ever experienced from a tea bag. Rishi Tea offers a new filter mesh material from plant based resources that yields a far greater extraction ratio and infusion quality than any other tea bag. Paper and even fine mesh silky bag materials are too tightly woven and act as a barrier to the tealeaves' infusion and extraction into the cup. They found a looser weave was needed to improve the overall tea bag experience. Frequently Asked Questions How do you properly store tea? Please keep teas in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors. The black bags in which Rishi packages their tea is perfect for storage as they keep light out and can be resealed. What kind of water should be used to brew the tea? Even the best tea will only be as good as the water used to prepare it. Avoid distilled water, mineral water and tap water when making tea. Spring water or filtered water is best. Rishi recommends that you test several different filters and brands of bottled water to find the best water in your area. They highly recommend using a thermometer to accurately measure water temperature. To best enhance the flavor and fragrance of your tea, pour hot water into your teapot and cups, let sit for a few moments and then discard. Warming the teaware helps maintain the temperature needed to infuse aromatic tea and will result in a more pronounced flavor profile. What is a natural flavor? As a Certified Organic company, Rishi Tea must follow strict regulations in order to call something a "natural flavor." According to t
