Brewing notes from the studio
The tulip glass is common across Turkey, the Caucasus and much of Central Asia, and we like it for one simple reason: you can see the colour of the tea. A good black tea should be clear and amber-red, not murky.
We use about 2.5 g of leaf (one heaped teaspoon) for 250 ml of water just off the boil, around 95 °C. Steep for three minutes, taste, then decide whether you'd like a fourth.
Rinse the glass with hot water before pouring. Thin glass loses heat fast, and a warmed glass keeps the aroma for longer.
Malty Ceylon blends like our Vanilla Ceylon Black take a splash of milk well. Brighter, citrus-led blends are best plain or with a thin slice of lemon.

A side-by-side tasting
Hibiscus calyces give an intensely red, tart cup. We brewed the same 5 g of our Hibiscus Flower Infusion two ways and tasted them together.
500 ml of boiling water, six minutes. The result is sharp and cranberry-like, with a drying finish. It's lovely with a teaspoon of honey.
500 ml of cold water, eight hours in the fridge. Softer and rounder, closer to red berries than cranberry, with almost no astringency. This is our summer default.
For cold brew, add a few pieces of our Red Berry Fruit Blend — the apple pieces bring a natural sweetness without any sugar.

Whole spices, balanced
Whole spices keep their aroma for months, ground spices for weeks. That's why our spice blends are cracked, not powdered.
Dried ginger and cinnamon bark give warmth and body. They should make up about half of the mix.
Green cardamom and fennel seed lift the blend. Crack the cardamom pods lightly so the seeds can infuse.
Juniper adds a piney, almost gin-like note that suits a Central European winter. Use it sparingly — three or four berries per pot is plenty.
Simmer one tablespoon of spices in 200 ml of water for five minutes, add a teaspoon of black tea and 150 ml of milk, bring back to a simmer and strain.
