INFORMATION:
The historical origin of the S'more is shrouded in mystery, but the campfire treat made of chocolate, marshmallow, and graham crackers has delighted tastebuds young and old for generations. We're pleased to build on this tasty tradition by offering this S'mores flavored black tea.
To capture the essence of this classic treat, we've small-batch blended a delightful combination of seasonal black tea and earthy Chinese Pu-erh tea with real pieces of carob, cocoa, popped rice, and 100% all-natural flavoring. A dash of stevia leaves enhances the sweet profile - each sip offering smooth chocolate flavor, notes of toasted marshmallow, and undertones of buttery graham cracker.
This calorie-free drink will transport you to the campfire where marshmallows are being toasted to golden perfection, pieces of chocolate are melting onto crunchy graham crackers, and feelings of warmth wrap around you. The rich, smooth flavor of this tea is complimented by comforting wellness benefits. High-grown black tea contains a plethora of antioxidants, like flavonoids and catechins, which are said to help protect the body from oxidative damage. The caffeine in black tea is balanced with L-theanine; combined they provide a stable source of energy, promote better mental focus, and reduce stress. A cup of tea that is rich in flavor and rich in wellness benefits - brew a pot today and let your mind drift to the campfire.

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).

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 11/4 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. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing fresh 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.)

ICED TEA BREWING METHOD (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. Sweeten and/or add lemon to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted.

FOOD SAFETY ADVISORY: 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.
RECOMMENDATION: We recommend the use of our '1 Cup of Perfect Tea' measuring spoon for best results. Please contact Blue Monkey Tea to place an order.
ANTIOXIDANT BENEFIT: For a greater antioxidant benefit brew longer and use more tea.
