Q. What makes Autumn Black Tea ideal for iced preparation?

A. The natural sweetness of apple bits and creamy vanilla sustains flavor even when chilled, while the robust Assam base prevents dilution. Simply brew at 95 °C for 3–4 min, strain, chill, and serve over ice with a cinnamon stick for an invigorating autumn-inspired iced tea.

Q. How does marigold contribute to this blend?

A. Marigold petals add a light floral note and contain lutein and flavonoids, which support eye health and provide anti-inflammatory benefits. Their gentle flavor also balances the sweet and spice elements, creating a harmonious cup.

Q. Can I reuse the leaves and fruit bits for a second steep?

A. Yes—the sturdy black tea leaves and dried fruit pieces release remaining flavor with a second steep. Add 30 s extra steep time (4–5 min total) to fully extract the layered notes of apple, cinnamon, and vanilla for a milder, aromatic cup.

Q. Does this tea contain caffeine?

A. Yes, it naturally contains caffeine (approx. 40–70 mg per cup) from the Assam black tea base, providing a smooth, sustained energy boost without excessive bitterness.

Q. Are there any recommended pairings?

A. Autumn Black Tea pairs beautifully with spiced pastries, apple pie, and nut-based cookies—flavors that echo its apple, cinnamon, and almond notes. It also makes a comforting complement to creamy desserts like vanilla panna cotta.

Q. How should I store Autumn Black Tea?

A. Store in an airtight, opaque container in a cool, dry place away from light, heat, and strong odors. Proper sealing preserves the volatile vanilla and fruit oils, ensuring full flavor intensity for up to 12 months.
