Florapharm Gingerbread House Tea 300 g

A loose leaf tea blend that recreates the aroma of a gingerbread house with roasted almonds, whole fruit pieces and warming spices. The leaves and ingredients steep together, releasing flavours that develop fully over the brewing time.

Loose leaf tea infuses by allowing hot water to circulate through the leaves and larger pieces. The water extracts oils, sugars and soluble compounds from the fruit, nuts and spices, creating a layered taste. A temperature of 100 °C ensures the harder ingredients soften and release their flavour without scorching. The recommended infusion time of 8-10 minutes lets the flavours blend and deepen, giving a full-bodied cup.

To prepare, measure the desired amount of tea into a filter or infuser. Pour freshly boiled water over the leaves and set a timer for 8-10 minutes. The liquid darkens as the ingredients steep. Once the time is reached, remove the filter or strain the leaves to stop the infusion. The blend can be re-steeped once, though the second cup will be lighter.

The ingredients include apple bits, candied pineapple and papaya, cinnamon sticks, beetroot bits, roasted almonds, popcorn, raisins, peanut bits and coconut chips. These are mixed whole, so the pieces remain visible in the dry blend and during steeping.

The blend is supplied in a 300 g pack, allowing multiple servings. The weight is chosen for professional use, balancing portion control with the need to prepare several cups at once.

Suitable for cafés, tea rooms and catering kitchens where loose leaf tea is served. The pack size and infusion method fit standard tea service routines.
