• 1 teaspoon of tea
• 8 oz (240 ml) of fresh boiled water
• A teapot or tea infuser
• A cup or mug

1. Boil Fresh Water – Boil fresh cold water. For best flavour, make sure the water is boiling, this helps release the tea’s flavours when steeped.
2. Rinse the Teapot or Infuser (Optional) – If using a teapot, preheat it by rinsing with hot water. This step helps maintain the brewing temperature during steeping.
3. Measure the Leaves – Add 1 teaspoon of loose tea per 8 oz of water into your teapot or infuser. Adjust to taste if you prefer a stronger or weaker brew.
4. Steep the Tea – Pour the fresh boiled water over the tea leaves. Steep for 3–5 minutes depending on your strength. Don’t over steep as it can be bitter.
5. Strain and Serve – Remove the tea leaves by straining or removing the infuser, then pour the tea into your cup or mug. Enjoy it plain to savour the malty flavours or add milk, sugar or honey to taste.
6. Enjoy – Take a moment to appreciate the warm, full bodied aroma and flavours of Kosabei Tea. Whether you’re having it alone or with others, it’s an experience of quality and tradition in every sip.

Tasting Notes

Kosabei Tea has a remarkable flavour profile that delights the senses with its balance and complexity. On the first sip you’ll notice a strong, malty base of high grade black tea with subtle hints of caramel that add a natural sweetness.

The mid palate is rich and full bodied with earthy notes and a slight nuttiness that adds depth and nuance. A bright, citrusy note emerges as a delicate counterpoint, adding a freshness to the overall experience.

The finish is smooth and satisfying with a gentle, lingering warmth and traces of spice and dried fruit. Best enjoyed fresh to allow its flavours to shine and pairs well with light pastries or savoury snacks to enhance its rich, multifaceted taste.

It is the perfect blend of flavour, aroma and texture for tea lovers and non tea lovers alike. Its quality and authenticity shines through in every cup. Whether you’re having it alone or with others, Kosabei Tea makes any moment an indulgent treat.
