    Description of the 20 Teas Available:

    AFTERNOON TEA - A delicate blend of Ceylon teas that's perfect for the traditional afternoon tea hour. This tea goes very well with pastries, cakes or freshly baked scones with Lemon Curd.

    ASSAM - The largest tea-producing district in the world located in northeast India and known for the high quality of its black teas. Assams are superb drinking; known for their rich, heavy, malty, fragrant flavor. A very satisfying cup!

    CEYLON - Ceylon teas are from Sri Lanka, an island off the southeast coast of India. Sri Lanka is the 2nd largest exporter of tea in the world. Strong and full, yet delicately flavored, Ceylon teas have a mildly sweet aroma reminiscent of honeysuckle.

    DARJEELING - A tea grown in an area of India that is northwest of Assam, known as Darjeeling. Grown in the foothills of the Himalayas at elevations of 1,000 to 6,000 feet, Darjeeling tea has a complex aroma with a clear, brisk, and penetrating flavor. One of the finest teas in the world!

    EARL GREY - Named after the Prime Minister to China in 1830, Earl Grey derives its famous flavor from oil of bergamot (an oil from the rind of the fruit of Citrus Bergamia). An excellent special occasion or after-dinner tea.

    ENGLISH BREAKFAST - A blend of China Black Keemun teas. Named after the English who felt the bold flavor of this blend was enhanced by adding milk.

    JAPANESE GREEN TEA - From Japan, this pan-fired tea is lightly rolled and dried over a fire in a large flat bottom pan. This tea contains the desirable "Polyphenols" that have been reported to be a cancer fighting substance. It has a very light, fresh taste and produces a transparent greenish colored brew.

    Decaffeinated Teas:

    A cup of tea contains about half the caffeine as a cup of coffee. However, tea can be decaffeinated by some of the same processes as coffee. Ethyl acetate is the most common method of decaffeination. Ethyl acetate is a by-product of natural fruit acid, is not carcinogenic, and removes 98% of the caffeine from the tea.

    ENGLISH BREAKFAST DECAF. - Same great taste as English Breakfast, only decaffeinated.

    APRICOT DECAF. - The Apricot flavor is alive in this decaffeinated version of Apricot.


    Ashbys Flavored Teas:

    Flavored teas are mainly used with the finest China Black teas. The extracts used to flavor the teas are a combination of both natural and artificial flavoring. Combining these two types of flavoring results in a wonderfully enhanced natural aroma and taste that will remain with the tea for a long time.

    There are many flavors to choose from. Some of the more popular flavors available are:

    APRICOT - Elegant apricot flavor and dried petals create our best selling cup of flavored tea.

    CINNAMON - A light touch of cinnamon; never overpowering.

    CINNAMON PLUM - Flavored with fresh ground cinnamon and the rich essence of plum.

    GINGER PEACH - Enjoy the essence of fresh southern peaches and Asian ginger.

    LEMON - The brisk flavor of lemons; great hot or cold.

    RASPBERRY - Not too tart; just the right balance of raspberry flavor and tea.

    VANILLA SPICE - The deep vanilla flavor is perfectly balanced with just a light touch of spice.

    Elegant Russian Tea:

    • 3 sticks cinnamon
    • 3 teaspoons whole cloves
    • 3 quarts water
    • 4 tea bags
    • 1 cup sugar

    Ashbys Herbal Teas:

    Herbal teas are not teas at all but combinations of herbs, roots, and/or bark that is infused in hot water in a manner similar to that of tea.

    ALBERRY SPICE HERBAL - A tangy berry flavor with a delightful hint of spice.

    CAMOMILE - A light, sweet, apple-like taste and aroma, said to promote sleep and relieve anxiety.

    PEPPERMINT - Enjoy the cool and spicy fresh taste of peppermint leaves.

    How to Brew Hot Tea:

    Making a proper pot of tea is not a mystery known only to the British! Some very simple rules apply and when followed correctly, will produce the beverage you will lovingly linger over.

    Ingredients needed are Good Tea, Freshly Boiled Water, and Patience to wait five minutes.

    Step 1:Take a clean teapot that is either a round earthenware of porcelain pot and fill it with water from a measuring cup to determine how many 6 ounce cups your teapot holds, Pour out the measured water and refill your teapot with hot tap water to preheat it. Let it set for several minutes to warm and then empty out the water.

    Step 2:Measure the loose tea with a teaspoon (measuring size spoon only). Use one level teaspoon per cup of tea (6 ounces of water). Measure the loose tea directly into your teapot.

    Step 3:Take your empty teakettle and fill it with cold water from your tap that has been running for at least one minute to flush out the stale water in the pipes.

    Step 4:Boil the water by turning your stove to high heat and bringing the water to a full vigorous, rolling, furious bubbling boil. Never overboil the water, it will de-aerate and go flat producing a dull and dead-tasting tea.

    Step 5:Have your teapot next to the kettle in anticipation of the full-boiling moment. At the point at which the water reaches a full rolling boil, pour the boiling water into your teapot immediately.

    Step 6:Put the lid on your teapot and wait five minutes. At this point, if you have one, you may cover the teapot with a teacozy to slow down the cooling of the water while the tea is brewing.

    Step 7:After you have waited five minutes, lift the lid and give the tea a quick stir before serving.

    Step 8:Serve immediately or the tea will be over-brewed. Use a stainless steel strainer to catch the leaves if you do not have a built-in strainer inside your teapot.

    Step 9:Enjoy your tea with a friend or relative you haven't seen in awhile. Make it a pratice to enjoy life and take some time for yourself. Our best wishes Griffith Enterprises.
