In fact, there isn’t a tea blend out there that doesn’t have a story attached to it. Iced tea is no exception. It is commonly held as fact that iced tea was invented by a tea plantation owner named Richard Blechynden looking to drum up some business at the 1904 World’s fair in St. Louis Missouri. The story goes that Richard initially intended to hand out free samples of his hot tea. The weather in St. Louis that year was above seasonal however and few visitors seemed interested in sampling his steaming hot product. As a novelty, Richard decided to drop some ice into his teapots and began to serve the tea cold. The result was a hit and iced tea went on to become one of the most popular beverages in North America. Good story right? The World’s fair...exceedingly hot day...enterprising entrepreneur...the stuff So what are we to make of all of this? Well, there is no doubt that iced tea was served at the World’s fair. One school of thought holds that iced tea, while perhaps not invented at the fair, was indeed popularized there. Whichever story you are inclined to believe we can all agree that iced tea is one of the world’s most refreshing beverages. When it’s hot out, the tea is brewed, poured over ice, and garnished with lemon and a dash of sugar, nothing else compares. In our effort to infuse the iced tea story with a little more controversy, we’ll tell you that what we have to offer here is the world’s first perfect iced tea blend. Perfection is a tall order, but we’re confident that this blend of a high grown Ceylon from the Nuwara Eliya district of Sri Lanka, and a full bodied black tea from Anhui province in China is just that. This claim is sure to draw its detractors and we’re Ok with that. Brew yourself a pitcher full and let us know what you think! Cheers! Hot tea brewing method: Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 teaspoon of tea for each cup into 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). Even though milk and a dash of sugar help enhance the flavor character on this tea, it is perfectly acceptable to consume this tea ‘straight-up’ Iced tea brewing method: (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 teaspoons of tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the leaves. 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 double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water].
