What Our Clients Say

We just returned from Exhibiting at the 54th Fancy Food Show in New York. Here what people are saying about us: Jassica http://authoritea.blogspot.com/2008/07/petit-tea-mango-monsoon-stick.html Review: I actually came across these nifty little things at last year's Fancy Food Show...this time around I managed to take one home for review. This tea stick, which looks like aluminum foil with little holes in it (though it is slightly more hearty than thin aluminum) allows the tea to expand upwards without creating a mess or stifling the flavor. The only thing I don't like about these sticks are that when the tea is fully steeped, you cannot squeeze it. There is no way to get the water that doesn't drip naturally out of it. If you squeeze too hard, the bottom of the stick (which is folded metal) unfolds and the leaves will spill into your water. So, while I admit that this is an awesome (and very un-messy) tool, it doesn't give you the ability to squeeze the last remaining flavor out of the tea leaves. In any event, the tea itself is delicious. This mango monsoon is overwhelmingly flavorful and sweet, with strong, crisp black tea and a very nice fruity aroma. This tea has a bit more of a fruity aftertaste than most mango tea, which I really like (though as I've said before mango is quite an overused flavor). It's not too strong, but has enough black tea astringency to allow enjoyment for people who are drinking for tea quality versus added flavor. Overall, surprisingly good tea, with lots of fruity flavor in a very cool, useful and unmessy stick. Pros: great tool for cleanly brewing tea, nice mango flavor, good tea Cons: impossible to squeeze tea leaves at the end of brewing More Info/To Purchase: Petit Tea Mango Monsoon Posted by Jessica at 10:37 AM Labels: Black

I never knew that there is an option to tea bags. Your Tea Sticks truly set a new standard in tea drinking. Pairing tea with food is brilliant and so are your flavored teas. I tried your Café Latte tea and I don’t think I’ll ever go back to coffee. Linda Cowling Victoria, BC

Loose Leaf Tea in round tins

1.5 oz to 3.5 oz (depending on the tea volume) of finest quality loose leaf teas, herbal tisane or fruit blends packed loose in round silvery tins with flavor protective lid.

As any tea lover will tell you, loose leaf teas give you the best tea drinking experience. Good quality tea leaves are usually whole leaf teas that are picked at the prime of their bloom and processed delicately to keep their flavor, character and taste as close to the fresh leaf as possible. Loose leaf teas need to be brewed at the right water temperature and be given sufficient room to allow the leaves to uncurl and impart their delicate flavor to the water they steep in. Brewing loose leaf teas is therefore an art that you will master over time. Learning this art need not be a painful experience for the mew comer. Our reusable tea sticks and tea filters have been designed to make your loose leaf tea brewing experience a pleasant one.

How to brew loose leaf teas
Our loose leaf teas, herbal tisane and fruit blends are best brewed using our stainless steel reusable tea stick or paper Tea filters. You may also use any other tea infuser or tea filter.

Typically, the best temperature for brewing tea can be determined by its type. Teas that have little or no oxidation period, such as a green or white tea, are best brewed at lower temperatures around 80 °C, while teas with longer oxidation periods should be brewed at higher temperatures around 100 °C. Cold filtered water without chlorine or sulphur is just fine.

Black, Flavored Black, Oolong Teas & Herbals:
Pre-heat your pot for about a minute with boiling water then discard this water. Scoop a teaspoon of tea per cup and place it in the heated pot. Bring water to a rolling boil for a few seconds and pour it over the tea. Brew for 3-4 minutes. Strain and serve.

Green, Greener Oolongs & White Teas:
Same as black teas except allow the boiling water to cool for a few minutes (about 180 F) and then pour it over tea leaves. Brew for 4-5 minutes. Strain and serve.
