## Description

Sri Lanka

Review: Good quality tea leaves - My go-to bulk bag of loose leaf black tea had started to show up with fillers or stems in it. The whole reason I love loose leaf tea over bagged, is because it’s less likely to have fillers. So that wasn’t acceptable. I decided to give this tea a try instead, and upon opening the box I am so pleased. The tea looks beautiful and high quality for the price. It brewed into a delicious cup of tea, and I noticed there was no sediment in the bottom of my tea infuser. My only complaint is that the box and the bag inside are weak material and cannot be resealed, so I’m going to need to purchase a tea tin large enough to hold a pound of tea. But I will, because I’m likely going to get this tea again.
Review: Far better than big tea bag. - I love iced tea. I drink iced tea daily. Normally I use tea bags from one of the big tea bag manufacturers. Lipton, Salada, Red Rose etc. Usually Lipton. This has always been fine. However, my teen son has recently been learning about microplastics and urged me to stop using tea bags. (Look up tea bags and microplastics.) I reluctantly agreed and started searching for loose orange pekoe or black tea. I happened upon this ^ company on desertcart and the reviews seemed good so I gave it a try. I am so glad I did. This stuff makes some of the best iced tea I've ever had. First off the leaves are whole so its not some ground up mystery powder found in tea bags. Its a dense bag of dried tea leaves! It looks great. Smells delicious. Despite being a long time tea drinker, I am a bit of a tea novice. I've been limited to commercial tea bags, however the difference, to me, is huge. It's hard to describe. I mean, it tastes like the tea I normally drink, but way better. Fresher. Smoother. Less bitter. Without that teabag taste. It's like I can differentiate the different flavors and aromas better. They're more present. It is much better than tea bags. I'll never go back. I purchased one of those big tea brewing cans with all the holes so no microplastics. Pour into a glass pitcher then into a glass cup. I've already made it through most of the bag, I'm ordering another pound of this tea right after I right this review. Long story short, this tea is far better than any teabags I've tried.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this organic?? I assume no? Has there been any testing for metals/pesticides?**
A: No it is not organic and there is no information on the packaging related to testing.

**Q: it is naturally grown and harvest or sprayed with pesticides?**
A: It tasted like pure chemicals. I brewed one batch and threw the rest of it out. It tasted like it was saturated in chemicals

**Q: Does this tea have caffeine?**
A: Yes, Ceylon tea has caffeine.  In general Ceylon tea has 14-61g per serving.  You would need to contact Zarrin to find out exactly how much is in their brand.

**Q: what is  the brew temperature?**
A: How we brew tea - 1.) 2 table spoons of Ceylon tea in double boiler tea pot 2.) Add 3 cups water 3.) Bring to a boil 4.) Shut off and let brew for 5 minutes 5.) Have your second source of clean hot (simmer hot) water, Not boiling! a temperature you feel is good/tolerable to sip tea. 6.) Pour your brewed tea through a screen into your tea cup or mug.( for an 8 ounce cup pour about 2 ounces) the more brewed tea you pour the darker and stronger the tea.7.) Add honey or any sweetener of your choice or none at all 8.) fill the remaining cup with your clean hot water. Sip enjoy repeat. This Zarrin is smooth tea, Love it. There are many ways to brew tea, this is just ours. Enjoy.........
