How do you brew each tea?
- What temperatures are recommended?
- The catalog provides specific guidance: brew the black teas at 90–95°C for 3–4 minutes, with Assam traditionally taken with milk and the rest plain. White teas should be brewed gently at 70–80°C. For certain teas, like the Kashmiri Saffron White, a gentler 70–75°C is suggested for a still, unhurried moment.
- When should you drink each tea?
- Assam Single Malt is your morning anchor—full-bodied and malty, perfect with milk or plain after dinner. Kangra Black suits a contemplative mid-morning, with its rare, earthy, floral character. The catalog suggests reserving the most delicate white teas for quiet, early-evening moments, brewed gently and savoured in silence.
What the catalog doesn't specify
The catalog doesn't list specific steeping times for the white teas or provide detailed tasting notes for each variety beyond the general descriptions. If you're new to these rare teas, start with the recommended temperatures and adjust to your palate. The joy of a connoisseur collection is exploring the nuances yourself.
