Hoboken Breakfast | Signature Black Tea Blend | Contains Caffeine
How to use loose leaf tea
Place tea leaves in a teapot, infuser basket, or empty tea bag
Pour hot water over the tea (rather than dunking tea leaves into the water)
Strain or remove leaves before enjoying
If you need help getting started with loose leaf tea, read our article here. We also sell easy-to-use infusers and fillable tea bags — shop here.
Brewing Guidelines
Heat 8 oz of filtered water to a boil. Pour water over 3g (about 2 tsp) tea leaves in a teapot or a strainer set in a cup. Steep for 3 – 5 minutes.
If you prefer your tea stronger, we suggest using more tea rather than increasing the amount of time; longer steep times may impact the flavor of the tea.
Always use filtered or spring water to fully enjoy the taste of your tea. For best results, brew using a teapot with a removable filter that allows the leaves to unfurl completely. Avoid tea balls/eggs or other infusers that compress the tea leaves.
Cold Brew
Hoboken Breakfast makes a great cold brew tea, with less astringency and less caffeine than regular iced tea. To make it, cover 10 g of Hoboken Breakfast tea with 4 – 5 cups of cool water and leave in the refrigerator overnight. If you forget about your tea, don’t worry – it won’t get bitter with longer cold extraction times.
Storing Tea
Keep sealed in a cool, dry place away from strong odors, moisture, and light. We do not recommend storing tea in clear containers (such as glass jars) as light can affect the shelf life of tea.
Black tea should be consumed within 2 years of purchase for optimal flavor.
