Steenbergs East Frisian Tea

Steenbergs East Frisian Tea is our medium strength loose leaf, black breakfast tea.

• It typifies the breakfast blends you get in Germany and Northern Europe, which are much lighter (weaker) than the British or Irish cuppa.
• It is a lighter and more flowery loose leaf breakfast tea versus your typical East Frisian Teas, or English and Irish Breakfast Teas.
• Axel created the blend around larger leafed, tippy teas from several of the better estates in Assam to give the tea a solid rich taste.
• It has all that classic maltiness and astringency that you would expect from tea from these districts.
• Along with extra floral, herbaceous notes coming from the fact that these are much better pickings than normally associated with everyday morning tea blends.
• To these, Steenbergs has rounded the Assam taste off by building in a touch of class with some Darjeeling and high grown Lovers’ Leap from Ceylon.
• It is an exquisite and sophisticated way to start your day.

Tea brewing: Boil freshly drawn water, then pour on the tea leaves. For a mug: Put 1 teaspoon per cup of East Frisian Tea and steep for about 5 minutes. For a pot: Put 1 teaspoon of East Frisian Tea per cup into the pot; steep for about 5 minutes. It’s up to you whether to add milk or sugar, but it’s best drunk without either in our opinion.

Axel’s tasting notes: East Frisian is a light black tea brew.
