Crimson Elixir

Crimson Elixir

Crimson Elixir is a bold blend of black tea, berries, and beetroot that brews into a deep, jewel-toned crimson cup. A smooth, fruity black tea forms the base, layered with earthy-sweet beetroot, tart hibiscus, dark elderberries and currants, beautifully carrying berry flavors and aroma.

The aroma is rich with ripe berry and a hint of earth. In the cup, sweet berry notes lead, followed by a bright, gently tart finish and a subtle depth from the beetroot that sets this blend apart from typical fruit teas. Full-bodied enough to satisfy black tea drinkers, and striking enough to brew for the colour alone.

Excellent hot, and exceptional over ice. Brewed strong and chilled, it makes one of the most vivid iced teas in our collection.

Directions

Make a concentrate!

If you've read our post on tea concentrates, you likely already know the drill. A tea concentrate makes enjoying your favourite teas quick and easy. You can prepare your concentrate at the beginning of the week and enjoy for up to 5 days when refrigerated. Add your concentrate to smoothies, water, milk or even oatmeal.

• Use 1 tsp of tea per 1 oz of hot water. • Infuse for 2 minutes in boiling water. • After infusing, filter the infusion through a fine mesh strainer. Tip: We also like to filter it a second time through a biodegradable paper coffee filter or clean cloth to get all the fine particles that may lead the tea dust to continue infusing.

Refrigerate for up to 5 days. Use 1/2 - 1 tsp of concentrate per serving, according to personal preferences.
