Tasting passport

What does Myanmar Black Tea Leaf taste like?

This black tea combines a smooth cup with a robust structure. Its generous body gives it a pronounced presence on the palate, while its astringency creates a drier sensation. Smoothness and intensity can thus coexist in the same cup.

First taste it without milk or sugar, then let the cup cool slightly between sips to discover your preferred way of enjoying it.

How to prepare this loose-leaf black tea?

Use soft water at 100°C, with 12 to 15 g of tea per litre, and steep for 5 minutes. Then remove the leaves to stop the infusion.

For a 250 ml cup, this is equivalent to 3 to 3.75 g of leaves. A scale allows for more consistent measuring than a spoon, which may hold different amounts depending on the size of the leaves.

When to enjoy it?

Its intensity and body make it a tea to enjoy in the morning or plain. To explore the differences between origins, taste it alongside another black tea, following the preparation instructions for each.
