Information:
Of
all the recorded ghost sightings in North America, more people report seeing a blue lady than any other apparition. Often
appearing only for brief moments these spirits materialize, show their hauntingly beautiful forms, then disappear. We’ve
named this blended tea in honor of this representative of the spirit world because of its hauntingly sweet flavor. Passion
fruit, grapefruit, orange, and grenadine all mix together to create a citrus flavor that is almost as delicate as the ghostly
shadows of the spirits. The sweetness of the citrus mélange blends perfectly with the astringency of our high grown
Ceylon tea. Brew yourself a pot, pour it hot, or over a glass full of ice and prepare to be mesmerized.
Hot tea brewing method: Place 1 teaspoon of tea for
each cup into the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the
longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Add milk and a dash of sugar help enhance the flavor character on this tea.
Iced tea-brewing method: (to
make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 teaspoons of tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water
over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher
straining the leaves. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. [A rule of thumb when
preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold
water]. Please note that this tea may tend to go cloudy or ‘milky’ when poured over ice; a perfectly normal characteristic
of some high quality black teas and nothing to worry about!
