Brew
Preparing the perfect cup of tea is a process to be savored. Watch how the
traditional elements harmoniously come together to make the perfect cup and
enjoy the liberation of pure tea goodness.
This is what we call the Mighty Leaf signature multi-sensory ("sensory melange")
tea experience. Come share with us and learn how to get infused.
Water
The quality of tea is affected by the quality of water used to prepare it. Using
filtered or bottled water is best. If possible, avoid brewing tea with tap,
distilled or mineral water. Never over-boil water, as it results in flat-tasting
tea.
Fire
1) Heat filtered or bottled water to a rolling boil or to 205 F. 2) While the
water is heating pour hot water into your teapot and cups, let sit and then
drain completely. A warm teapot will maintain the requisite temperature for
superior tasting tea.
Whole Leaf Tea
Slowly open up our specially created, sensually handcrafted tea pouch and enjoy
the aroma of fresh herbs and fruit. Use one Mighty Leaf tea pouch per cup.
Infusion Time
Pour water over tea pouch. Time steeping carefully and infuse for 5 - 7 minutes.
Watch how the herbs and fruit within the pouch have room to gracefully expand in
your cup, creating a rich and flavorful infusion and a superior tasting tea.
Savor the Leaf
Sip your cup and rediscover the pleasure of the way tea was naturally meant to
be. This is the magic of Mighty Leaf.

Health Benefits
Rooibos (Aspalanthus linearis)
Research has shown Rooibos contains an unusually high amount of antioxidant
flavonoids similar to that in Green Tea. These flavonoids are thought to prove
effective in combating harmful free radicals which can cause cancer, heart
disease and strokes.
Some unconfirmed studies have determined that antioxidant levels in Rooibos are
50 times higher than those in Green Tea. Naturally caffeine free, Rooibos also
possesses other medicinal properties including the ability to lessen the body's
reaction to allergies and calm upset stomachs.
Hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa)
Naturally rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants, Hibiscus cools the body, helps
lower cholesterol and relaxes the body.
Use
Try drinking Organic African Nectar as an everyday tonic to boost the immune
system and increase energy. The rich and delicious, rooibos based blend makes an
excellent aperitif or after-dinner drink.
In the alternative, drink in the morning for a lively non-caffeinated
alternative to coffee. Pair with sweet desserts or chocolate for a sumptuous
treat.
