      Time For Tea Bag

      TEA & GOURMET | 10 June 2024 | 3 mins
      Celebrating the alchemy of tea in its various forms: a transformative sip, a cocoon of calm, a celebration of craftsmanship. Whether it’s the first sip to signal a new day, an invigorating cup between meetings, or a nightcap that nurtures – there’s always time for tea.

      Teas for the Morning

      Tea creates a unique and personal experience for each drinker. Take for instance, the first cup of tea in the morning. Your mind is only just awake – occupying the liminal space between dream and reality. The notifications are buzzing, snatching the last peaceful moments of slumber. You can feel the day’s agenda demanding your attention: emails, tasks, deadlines, the unanswered text from last night. 

      You watch the tea leaves unfurl and marvel at how seemingly humble ingredients can produce such an alchemy of emotions. The steam rises – like incense – as your hands embrace the warm, china cup. 

      Contemplate, and appreciate, life in between each poignant sip of a signature black tea, such as 1837 Black Tea, and settle into the lingering aftertaste of ripe berries, anise, and caramel.

      Teas for the Afternoon

      You’re back at the office, après-lunch. As you settle down at your desk, you infuse another cup. For a measured moment of calm, and a boost of creativity, you gravitate towards a diplomatic blend to command your state of mind. The rhythmic taps of the keyboard, the cadence of endless conference calls – disrupted by a deliberate pause – and the familiar roar of a kettle.

      The inaugural sip transports you: a journey in grace, grounding you in a cocoon of calm, to create the necessary headspace. Amidst the multiple meetings marked on your calendar, you savour an invigorating green tea. A classic green tea such as Moroccan Mint Tea is juxtaposed with the strength of Sahara mint – a decidedly modern blend that also means business.

      For an uplifting selection for the afternoon, delight in green teas with a range flavour profiles ranging from delicate to bold. A defining characteristic of green tea – the infusion begins with the sensual warmth and vitaminised vivacity of a brilliant jade cup. The clean base is then lifted by enveloping muscatel and vegetal notes, characteristic of each variety. Each sip is anchored by a hint of umami or floral notes with a creamy, addictive trail – for unexpected encounters in a teacup. 



      TWG Tea Tips: 

      Teas for the afternoon are usually to relax, sustain, or help with digestion after a heavy lunch. An excellent pairing to balance rich and sweet flavours, green tea contains a high concentration of polyphenols – a prized antioxidant found in the Camellia sinensis tea plant. The tea leaves retain their natural verdant colour and delicate flavour as green tea is naturally processed in a way that prevents oxidization. Further, the powerhouse tea can help to boost the immune system with an antioxidant cocktail of zinc and vitamin C – while balancing the mind and body for the ultimate state of calm.

      WATER

      Always select the purest water available. Filtered water is recommended. When possible, choose soft water, since a high calcium content (found in mineral or tap water) gives rise to deposits on the surface of the cup, affecting the taste of the tea.

      TEMPERATURE

      To bring out the full complexity and flavour of the tea, the ideal temperature for the perfect infusion varies according to the type of tea. For the highest grade white teas, yellow tea, and green teas, the water should be heated to 70°C (158°F). For other varieties of green teas, blue teas, black teas, matured teas and red teas, the water should be between 90°C (194°F) and 95°C (203°F) – this helps the water to maintain its dissolved oxygen content, which is essential to bringing out the flavour of the tea.

      INFUSION

      The infusion time for tea depends on the variety: 3 minutes is ideal for black, matured, and red teas. Fine green teas can benefit from a shorter infusion time of 2½ minutes; blue teas can be infused for up to 7 minutes; and white teas for up to 15 minutes.

      TEA ACCESSORIES

      The right accessories can elevate the tea tasting experience. A cotton filter champions the taste and aroma of the tea leaves, developing the full complexity of the flavour of each variety of tea. A porcelain or glass teapot creates an ideal vessel for the infusion process. Lastly, handcrafted porcelain, fine bone china, or ceramic teacups reimagine the experience – with a touch of ceremony – for a modern tea ritual.
