Start simple
A good tea ritual does not need to be elaborate. It can be the first quiet few minutes of a busy morning, a break between tasks, or a cup made while you catch up with someone. Greek Tease is designed to fit into those everyday moments: familiar English Breakfast tea with the warming flavours of cinnamon and cloves.
The starting instructions are easy to remember. Use one tea bag per cup. Add freshly boiled water at 100°C. Let it brew for three to five minutes. Then make the finishing touches that suit you. Those are the essentials, whether you are using a favourite mug at home or making a cup at work.
Give it a little time
Rather than rushing straight from the kettle to the first sip, let the tea bag sit for the recommended brewing time. Set a three-minute timer if you tend to forget about your tea, or let it reach five minutes if that is the strength you enjoy. The useful part is finding a starting point you can repeat.
Try keeping the mug and amount of water the same for a few cups. You can then change the brewing time within the recommended range and notice which result you prefer. There is no need to make tasting notes unless you enjoy that sort of thing. Simply ask yourself: would I make the next cup this way?
Black, with milk, or a little sweeter?
Start with the way you usually drink black tea. If you like it without milk, try Greek Tease that way first. If milk is part of your usual routine, add it to taste after brewing. Prefer a little sweetness? Add the amount that feels right for your cup.
Changing one thing at a time makes it easier to find your preference. You might try the same brewing time with a smaller splash of milk, or taste the tea before adding sweetness. The point is not to arrive at someone else’s perfect recipe. It is to make a cup you want to come back to.
Make room for the moment
While the tea brews, you have a small pocket of time. You could put your phone down, open the window for a moment, or ask someone else if they would like a cup. You could also do absolutely nothing. Tea does not have to earn its place in the day by becoming another task.
Greek Tease comes in a tube of forty tea bags, ready for the cups and conversations ahead. Keep the three simple instructions in mind: one bag, freshly boiled water, three to five minutes. Everything after that is yours. Enjoy your tea the way you love it.
