Rishi Tea Bags One Cup. That's all it takes to completely transform your perception of what a tea bag should be. Rishi Tea has spent years seeking the richest tea varieties, working with the very top growers, fine tuning their best blends, and designing a special knit tea bag that won't hinder the flavor and aroma of their premium teas. Try one cup, and you'll never think of a tea bag in the same way again. Rishi Tea is excited to introduce tea lovers to the fullest flavors and most aromatic, vivid infusions they've ever experienced from a tea bag. Rishi Tea offers a new filter mesh material from plant based resources that yields a far greater extraction ratio and infusion quality than any other tea bag. Paper and even fine mesh silky bag materials are too tightly woven and act as a barrier to the tealeaves' infusion and extraction into the cup. They found a looser weave was needed to improve the overall tea bag experience. Frequently Asked Questions How do you properly store tea? Please keep teas in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors. The black bags in which Rishi packages their tea is perfect for storage as they keep light out and can be resealed. What kind of water should be used to brew the tea? Even the best tea will only be as good as the water used to prepare it. Avoid distilled water, mineral water and tap water when making tea. Spring water or filtered water is best. Rishi recommends that you test several different filters and brands of bottled water to find the best water in your area. They highly recommend using a thermometer to accurately measure water temperature. To best enhance the flavor and fragrance of your tea, pour hot water into your teapot and cups, let sit for a few moments and then discard. Warming the teaware helps maintain the temperature needed to infuse aromatic tea and will result in a more pronounced flavor profile. What is a natural flavor? As a Certified Organic company, Rishi Tea must follow strict regulations in order to call something a “natural flavor.” According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a flavor is defined as the following: “The term natural flavor or natural flavoring means the essential oil, oleoresin, essence or extractive, protein hydrolysate, distillate, or any product of roasting, heating or enzymolysis, which contains the flavoring constituents derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof, whose significant function in food is flavoring rather than nutritional. The flavors Rishi Tea uses in Certified Organic products must meet some additional requirements put forth by the National Organic Program (NOP). They must obtain documentation from our flavor suppliers that verify their flavors are non-synthetic, have not been produced using synthetic solvents

Suggested Use: Water Temperature: 195°F Leaf to Water Ratio: 1 tablespoon per 8 ounces Steep Time: 5-7 minutes For iced tea, make a double-strength infusion, dilute with cold water and pour over ice. 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.
