Lemon Green: The Zesty Tea Battery
Have you ever heard of a Lemon Battery? This term refers to a popular school science experiment where electrodes are attached to a lemon, generating enough electricity to power a small light bulb or engine. The high acid content in the fruit makes this possible—it’s hard to believe, but it’s true! At Natteas, we’ve created something just as electrifying: our Lemon Green tea, a zesty blend that captures the vibrant flavour of lemon combined with the full-bodied, brisk character of pekoe gunpowder.
The Strength of Pekoe Gunpowder
Pekoe gunpowder is one of the stronger-flavoured green teas on the market, taking your taste buds on a journey through smoky depths with every sip. Its robust flavor arises from a meticulous rolling process during production. Each leaf is hand-rolled, which forces flavorful liquids from the center of the leaf to the surface. The firing process then seals the leaf in this rolled state, keeping all that flavor and power contained.
(Small. Round. Contained power. Sounds a lot like a battery, doesn’t it?)
The Zest of Fresh Lemons
While lemons are often known for their soothing qualities, they also pack a punch. Just think about how your lips pucker when you bite into a pure lemon! When combined with the strength of pekoe gunpowder, the result is a lively, refreshing blend.
So there you have it: The Lemon Tea Battery. Pekoe gunpowder and lemon create a magical combination that energizes and invigorates. Brew a cup of Lemon Green today and experience its delightful fusion of flavours. We’d love to hear if you agree with our description!
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). Milk and sugar are not recommended. Ideal Brewing Temperature: 85ºC/185ºF. For Food Safety reasons bring water to 100ºC/212ºF and let it cool down to 85ºC/185ºF.
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. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. 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. Not all of the tea will fit, allowing for approximately an additional ½ serving. 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.
