Coffee Tea

This richly flavoured Coffee Tea contains only cassia seeds and black tea – no coffee!

This unusual blend is sourced from Taiwan and is the marriage of two ingredients revered in Chinese medicine for millennia for their health properties – cassia seeds and tea. Cassia seeds were mentioned by Shen Nong, the herbalist and emperor who was cited as discovering tea when sitting under a tea tree in 2737  BC

Coffee Tea is a comparatively modern blend and was most likely created when bubble tea was invented in the 1980s in Taipei,Taiwan. Cassia seeds are cinnamon like but less sweet.They give the tea a rich mocha coffee taste.

The black tea in this blend comes from an Assam cultivar (type), giving the tea a rich, malty flavour. Assam tea bushes were introduced in the 1920s during Japanese rule in Taiwan and are now the main variety grown to produce black tea

Coffee Tea takes milk (or any dairy alternative), extremely well and by adding milk the mocha flavours in the tea are amplified.

Coffee Tea is great for breakfast but is also great all day. It is especially delicious served cold – like a Frappuccino. Brew 2g of Coffee Tea to 100 ml of water as per instructions. Once steeped allow to cool, add cold milk and plenty of ice – sit back and enjoy.
