La Befana

$8.00

Have you been good this year? The child within you, naughty or nice, deserves a little treat from time to time. La Befana arrives with fruit and cheer, the old witch who seeks the child within to reward.

Five to six steepings lie within each bundle!

Steeping Notes

Consider also cold steeping or hot steeping as you see fit (enter The Warren for steeping hints). The main thing to note is that lower water temperatures create a sweeter flavor profile while hotter temperatures create a more bitter, astringent profile. More water or less tea will reduce the strength of the tea.

Try this iced: once unwrapped, throw the whole thing in cold water overnight. Best iced tea you’ve had in a while!

You may also choose to steep in shorter bursts gongfu style to enjoy a longer session with flavors that open up over time, similar to puer stuffed chenpi.

Tea: One whole orange Time: 3-5 minutes. Temp: 98/208F. Steep multiple times- several pots await you!
