From Rishi Tea

Our signature breakfast tea is a tippy Dian Hong growing between 1,600 – 1,800 meters in elevation at the densely forested Wa Shan Ecological Tea Garden in Yunnan. Breakfast is beloved for its mellow character and hints of sweet caramel and raisin. Milder than English Breakfast, this tea presents a deep red infusion that is smooth enough to enjoy on its own or exquisite with milk and honey.

Tasting Notes: A full-bodied and smooth breakfast blend with hints of sweet caramel and spice

Ingredients: Organic black tea.

Additional Info: Classic black teas offer a timeless taste of tea’s rich history and express a distinct sense of place, determined not only by geography and climate, but also by culture and tradition.

This tea comes to us from the Wa Shan Ecological Tea Garden in Yunnan, China. Explore the tea and landscapes of Wa Shan in Rishi’s Travelogue.

Water Temperature: 200°F
Leaf to Water Ratio: 1 tablespoon per 8 ounces
Steep Time: 4 minutes (1st infusion), 5 minutes (2nd infusion)

We encourage you to experiment with the quantity of tea leaves and the length of the steep time to find your desired brew strength. Varying the water temperature isn’t recommended, as water that is too hot will over-extract the bitter components of tea, while water that is too cool might not fully draw out the aromas and flavors of tea.

Had China English Breakfast with my curry scramble eggs and toast this morning. Love this tea. No need for sugar at all. It has a slight sweetness. Made two small pots this morning and took what was left to work with me over ice.

Been drinking this from a local cafe for the last couple days- very date-y presentation, great with a bit of cream and honey. Not as near and dear as my straight malty Assam, but yum nonetheless.
