How do you use Pineapple & Papaya Green Tea?

Brewing this pineapple & papaya green tea is straightforward. Use a tea strainer or infuser, add your loose leaf, and pour water over it. Green tea generally does well with water well below boiling point – around 80 °C works well to keep the flavour bright without any bitterness. Let it steep for two to three minutes, then remove the leaves.

Frequently asked questions

Do pineapple and papaya go well together in tea?

Yes, they make a natural pairing. Both fruits have a sweet, juicy character that complements the light, grassy notes of green tea. The result is a smooth, tropical cup that is pleasant hot or cold.

Can you make iced tea with this blend?

Absolutely. Brew it a little stronger than usual, cool it down, and pour it over ice. You can also cold-brew it in the fridge overnight for a refreshing drink.

How much loose leaf do I use per cup?

A rounded teaspoon – roughly 2 grams – per 200 to 250 ml of water is a good starting point. Adjust to taste: more leaf gives a stronger, sweeter brew; less gives a lighter cup.

What temperature should I use to brew green tea?

Water at around 80 °C works well for green tea. Boiling water can make the tea taste sharp. If you do not have a temperature-controlled kettle, simply let freshly boiled water stand for two minutes before pouring.
