COLA FLAVOURED BLACK TEA

It is thought that extracts of tea are one of the key ingredients in the soft drink cola, so this marriage of flavours is perhaps not as surprising as it sounds. The cola flavour is derived from a complex list of ingredients including neroli, lime, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, coriander, orange and lavender to name a few. These are all delightful additions to tea individually and in combination make up a complex, fragrant and flavoursome infusion when married to a fruity, malty tea. This flavoured black tea is made on the shop premises by hand. We use the finest, high grown teas from the beautiful island of Sri Lanka as the base and use natural, essential or nature identical flavouring oils to create the myriad aromatic options. We also use the leaves, flowers or fruits to add further flavour and visual appeal. Ever since the Chinese first added blossoms and fruit juices to tea centuries ago, people have enjoyed experimenting to find complementary flavours. The marriage of tea to natural fruit oils, flowers and spices, opens up an infinite variety of surprising tastes to the drinker. They are complemented by the addition of sugar and can be taken with milk if desired.
