So my husband is significantly reducing/ cutting out coffee. He’s always enjoyed tea I make him but now I am getting him all prepped to make tea on his own. I put loose leaf tea in paper filters and write instructions on the side of the tin on how to make them perfect. So far, so good!
I bought some black teas since I figured he’s used to drinking coffee so he needs more of a boost than just green teas (plus I know they are too finicky for him at 5am for when he’s getting ready for work). Thus, black teas it is. I went to iHOT because I know they have good quality & reasonably priced stuff. I bought this lemon flavoured black tea actually for iced tea, but he’s been drinking is hot & cold, and he loves it. I’ve even tried a sip or two here and there (I can’t REALLY drink black tea because it hurts my stomach) and I must say, this blend is creamy, lemony, and delicious without astringency. I will absolutely be stocking this one up for him.
For hot tea: approx 1.5tsp, 200F water, 3min.
Iced tea: 5 “perfect spoonfuls” (DAVIDs TEA measurement = 2.5tsp each) per 2L pitcher, cold brewed 12ish hours.
I will not be adding this one or any black teas to my cupboard because I will not be personally drinking them whatsoever.
Flavors: Creamy, Lemon

I wish my boyfriend would get into tea like this! I would write all sorts of instructions for him if only he would try it. :P
I would write all sorts of instructions for him, heh. :)
I’m loving this turn around in him :D. I know it’s better for his blood pressure and stomach. I do try to make it as easy as possible by already having pre-measured bags I stuff, and of course it helps we have a variable temperature kettle. Every morning I see he’s used a tea bag and he packs the full 2L of iced tea (I’m still making it, which I like doing) in his bottles for work (he’s a roofer and needs to keep hydrated). I just bought 50g of this tea 2 days ago and I’m almost done!
Would he shake up matcha in cold water? Easy peasy, high caffeine, plain or flavored, even pre sweetened if he wants sugar. Great for hydrating in summer. My guys have me make big pitchers of iced matcha when they are working outside in the heat and humidity.
I’m not sure, I will ask him! :)
