loose leaf black tea
Zealong is the first commercial tea garden in New Zealand. It was established in 1996 by tea enthusiast Vincent Chen, and only the finest quality tea is grown there. The subsequent production and packaging of the tea leaves are conducted with respect to nature, directly at the tea plantation in the region of Waikato. The black-brown, gently rolled, long leaves give a crystal clear golden-orange infusion. The taste and aroma are dominated by sweet orange and ripening hazelnut, with a subtle hint of cinnamon
Preparation recommended by Zealong: Allow 3-4 g of tea (approx. 2 tsp) for each 1.5 dl of water at the temperature of 85-90°C. Leave to infuse for 2 mins, then strain. Suitable for 4 infusions. Preparation recommended by Oxalis: Allow 2 g of tea (1 tsp) for each 1.5 dl of water at the temperature of 90°C. Leave to infuse for 3 mins, then strain. Suitable for 2-3 infusions.
