• Add ¼ liter (≈8 oz) hot milk, steep another 3 minutes.
• Strain leaves, add sugar if you like (1 tsp usually does it), and enjoy!

  • For 2:00 to 4:00, add 1 minute.
  • For over 4:00, add 2 minutes or more.

We are a small independent operation, with very few employees. Our employees work as quickly as they can, but we don't have a warehouse to operate out of with dedicated employees. As such, orders may take anywhere from 1-5 business days to ship. Thank you for understanding.
