Product Description

Almonds. Where to begin? Shakespeare mentions them in Troilus and Cressida writing, "The parrot will not do more for an Almond." - Neither would the medieval Europeans who loved almonds so much that when the Queen of France conducted an inventory of her chateau in 1372 they turned up only 20 lbs of sugar but 500 lbs of almonds! - Originally from the Middle East, the nuts are even mentioned in the Bible - the rod of Aaron was an almond branch. Who knew? - What we know is that the sweet nutty character of the almond, Latin: amandela, perfectly suits this astringent high grown Ceylon tea. It is truly one of our more interesting flavored teas. - Try it, but if you like it, and we're sure you will, don't blame us if you're moved to write a play, or stockpile 500 lbs. (Although we'd be more than happy to accommodate you!) - We only use high grown Ceylon tea from estates more than 5500 feet above sea level; We only use natural flavors, giving a clean true taste with no chemical aftertaste - Hot tea brewing method: Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 tea bag 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). Even though milk and a dash of sugar help enhance the flavor character on this tea, it is perfectly acceptable to consume this tea "straight-up." - Iced tea brewing method (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 tea bags 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 bags. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. [A rule
