Tangy Orchard Noir Loose Leaf Tea Available in 50g pouches & tins

Discover the Vibrant Complexity of Tangy Orchard Noir Loose Leaf Tea Available in 50g Pouches & Tins

In practice, this black tea with fruit flavor 50g delivers a remarkably balanced infusion where the malty depth of premium noir tea meets the bright, crisp character of orchard fruits. The loose leaf format reveals whole tea leaves interspersed with natural fruit pieces, allowing for optimal expansion during brewing and releasing layers of apple sweetness, pear subtlety, and citrus brightness. When steeped for 3-5 minutes at 95°C (203°F), the tea produces a medium-bodied amber liquor with tangy fruit notes that complement rather than overpower the tea's natural astringency. The 50-gram portion provides approximately 20-25 servings, depending on personal strength preference and whether you choose the protective pouch or tin packaging option.

Artisan Tea Craftsmanship with Quality Sourcing Standards

This loose leaf orchard tea tin represents a carefully calibrated blend where premium black tea leaves form the foundation, sourced from estates known for producing robust, full-flavored noir teas with natural malty characteristics. The fruit components—dried apple pieces, pear essence, and citrus peel—are selected to complement the tea's tannin structure without introducing artificial flavoring agents. Specialty tea collections of this calibre typically undergo multiple quality assessments to ensure consistent leaf grade, moisture content below 8% for optimal preservation, and balanced flavor integration. The dual packaging options—resealable pouch and airtight tin—both protect the gourmet loose tea leaves from light, moisture, and oxidation, preserving the volatile oils responsible for the tea's distinctive aroma profile.

Common Questions About This Premium Loose Tea

Does this tea require any special brewing equipment?
No specialized equipment is necessary—any standard tea infuser, strainer, or teapot with built-in filter works perfectly. A simple basket infuser allows the leaves ample room to expand fully.

Can I re-steep these leaves for multiple infusions?
While primarily designed for single infusions to capture the optimal fruit-tea balance, a second shorter steep (2-3 minutes) will yield a lighter, more tea-forward cup with gentler fruit notes.

How should I store the tea after opening to maintain freshness?
Keep the tea in its original packaging (pouch resealed or tin closed tightly), stored in a cool, dark, dry location away from strong odors. Properly stored, the tea maintains peak flavor for 12-18 months from the packaging date.
