Quatrain Breakfast Reserve

Our Quatrain Breakfast tea is a premium, exclusive, and part of our reserve line of teas which have garnered accolades and praise from tea connoisseurs around the globe. 

This perennial award-winning tea is a rare, limited edition breakfast blend. A quatrain is a poem that is composed of four lines. Our Quatrain Breakfast tea gives tribute to the artistry and romance of poetry, by composing this hallmark tea blend with four world renowned tea regions; Assam, Sri Lanka, Keemun and Yunnan.

Note on Brewing: Whatever the method of brewing you decide to use to enjoy this black tea, always use freshly boiled water. This will give you the best and most consistent results, as the oxygen available to bind with the tea is at its highest level after the first boil.

Traditional Method of Preparation: Measure 3-5 grams or approximately 1 tsp of loose tea and add to one of our tea filter bags or for best results, add the tea to our Perfect Steeper. Add 8-12 oz of fresh water that has been heated to 190 F and steep for 3-5 minutes. (Our preference is to use 4 grams for 3 minutes.)

Iced Black Tea Preparation:

Cold Brew (Our Favorite): Measure 5 grams or approximately 1 tsp of loose tea and add to your vessel of choice. Add 12 oz of fresh water. Place in refrigerator for 8 hours. Strain to serve. Makes the smoothest cup with the least amount of tannins! Try for yourself and see the difference!

Flash Chilling:

Step 1, Create Concentrate. Measure 5 grams or approximately 1 tsp of loose tea and add to one of our tea filter bags or for best results, add the tea to our Perfect Steeper. Add 6 oz of fresh water that has been heated to 190 F and steep for 4 minutes.

Step 2, Flash Chill. Place finished tea in freezer for 10 minutes or pour slowly over ice in a 12-16 oz cup.
