This box holds 100 tea bags of 2.5 g each, 250 g in total, of Mevlâna Sade Yaprak Çay in the Goran-Tee Luxus-Mischung blend. The producer describes the tea as Ceylon black tea from highland gardens where the large leaves are picked by hand and refined in Germany, with about 98% of the dust removed. The cup is meant to be mild, balanced and refreshing. The box carries the Ceylon Tea lion logo, the quality mark used for tea from Sri Lanka.
Tea bags make the Turkish habit of frequent cups easy at home, in the office or when guests arrive. Put one bag in a glass or cup, add freshly boiled water and steep for three to five minutes, depending on how strong you like it. Serve it plain, with a sugar cube or a slice of lemon, and add a simit or a plate of biscuits for a simple tea break. Some people brew two bags in a small pot to serve several glasses at once.
Keep the box closed and in a dry place, away from moisture and strong-smelling foods so the aroma is preserved. Check the box for the best-before date.
