How should I brew this loose leaf tea to get the best flavour and can I reuse the leaves?

Because this product is a loose leaf blend, the physical structure of the tea allows for a more gradual release of flavour compared to tea bags. The larger leaf pieces open up slowly in water, which contributes to a clearer taste and makes the blend suitable for multiple infusions. This means you can steep the same leaves more than once, extracting different nuances with each brew.

To achieve the best result, avoid using boiling water. Instead, heat your water to approximately 70–80°C. This temperature range is crucial for preserving the smoother character of the non-fermented green tea base and keeping bitterness in check. Boiling water can extract harsh tannins too quickly, which would overpower the delicate balance of the hibiscus and cloves.

Once brewed, the tea offers a bright, layered experience. The hibiscus provides a tart note that complements the spicy depth of the cloves, while the green tea base remains fresh and light. This combination makes it a versatile choice for a quiet work break or a light moment after meals. As with any loose leaf tea, storing the remaining product in a cool, dry place will help maintain its quality until you are ready to brew it again.
