Coffee and Tea: The Ultimate Blend
Since their introduction to the West, coffee and tea have sparked heated debates about which beverage reigns supreme. The good news? You don’t have to choose anymore. This innovative blend combines aged Pu-erh tea, pure Ethiopian coffee, and a dash of Kerala cocoa. The result is a surprisingly delicious drink that is wonderfully brisk.
Flavour Profile
In your cup, you’ll experience sweet, earthy tones from the Pu-erh, balanced by the nutty smoothness of coffee, and rounded out by the mellow mouthfeel of sweet chocolate. Is it coffee? Is it tea? It’s both! This unique combination offers the best of both worlds, making it the perfect choice for those who appreciate the flavours of both beverages.
Caffeine Content
You might wonder, which has more caffeine: tea or coffee? While a cup of coffee typically feels stronger, interestingly, unbrewed tea actually contains more caffeine than coffee. However, during the brewing process, tea loses more caffeine to the water than coffee does, resulting in a lighter jolt.
Brewing Instructions
To brew your cup, simply pour freshly boiled water over the tea and steep for 3 to 7 minutes. For the best experience, we recommend enjoying it without milk or sugar, allowing the natural flavours to shine through.
Choosing Quality Pu-erh Tea
If you’re ready to explore Pu-erh teas, here are some tips for selecting high-quality options:
- Harvest Region: Look for teas from Yunnan Province in China, known for producing the best varieties.
- Leaf Source: The finest Pu-erh leaves come from old arbour trees, wild trees, or sustainably farmed small trees, in that order.
- Harvest Season: Generally, spring harvests yield the best leaves, followed by autumn and summer.

HOT BREWING METHOD:
Bring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea for each 7-9oz / 200-260ml of fluid volume in 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). Add milk & sugar to taste. Ideal Brewing Temperature: 100ºC/212ºF
ICED TEA BREWING METHOD
(Pitcher): (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 slightly heaping teaspoons of loose tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 1¼ cups/315ml over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher, straining the tea or removing the tea bags. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water. (Note: Some luxury quality teas may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of luxury quality and nothing to worry about.)
(Individual Serving): Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea into a teapot for each serving required. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 6-7oz/170-200ml per serving over the tea. Cover and let steep for 5 minutes. Add hot tea to a 12oz/375ml acrylic glass filled with ice, straining the tea or removing the bags. Not all of the tea will fit, allowing for approximately an additional ½ serving. Sweeten and/or add lemon to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted. (Note: Some luxury quality teas may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of luxury quality and nothing to worry about!)
We strongly recommend using filtered or freshly drawn cold water brought to a rolling boil when brewing all types of tea. Today’s water has been known to carry viruses, parasites and bacteria. Boiling the water will kill these elements and reduce the potential incidence of water-borne illnesses.
