KOTTAS Kräuterhaus
Happy Easter Tea

We bring nature to your cup! Our KOTTAS Kräuterhaus Organic Oolong Tea makes it easier for you if you don't want to make a choice between green and black tea. With its nutty, tangy flavour, the oolong is somewhere between the two in terms of taste and therefore offers a first-class alternative. This is mainly due to the particular degree of oxidation. In contrast to fully oxidised black tea and non-oxidised green tea, organic oolong is a semi-oxidised tea. Real precision is required in the production of oolong tea. Chinese organic tea farmers pick the larger leaves of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis) by hand. The tea leaves are then dried and withered in the sun until they are placed in an oxidation chamber after a period of rest. Continuous shaking and rubbing releases juice, which reacts with the oxygen in the air. At a certain point, the fermentation process is interrupted by heating the tea leaves. This is how the wonderfully spicy flavour of oolong tea is created. The full-bodied oolong tea naturally contains caffeine. It is therefore ideal as a breakfast tea for a good start to the day or as a delightful energiser in between. Ingredients: 100 % Oolong tea (contains caffeine) – organic quality Preparation: Add one teaspoon of KOTTAS Kräuterhaus Organic Oolong Tea per cup into a preheated teapot with 80 °C hot water. Cover and let steep for one to three minutes for the desired effect. Then strain and enjoy! Storage: Store aroma-protected, dry and not above room temperature (25 °C). Net weight: ℮ 50 g

We bring nature to your cup! The sublime KOTTAS Kräuterhaus Organic Pu-Erh Tea is not a classic green or black tea, but truly in a class of its own. Before you can enjoy it in your teacup, it has travelled a long way from its home region, the southern Chinese province of Yunnan. There, the ripe Pu-Erh (Shu Pu-Erh) is produced in a complex process from the leaves of the Assam variety of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis var. assamica). The older and fresh tea leaves, which are carefully harvested by hand, wither in the sun for some time before they are heated and roasted. However, oxidation is interrupted at some point so that a certain amount of residual moisture remains. Unlike other types of tea, the fine Pu-Erh is the only tea that is actually microbially fermented. For this purpose, the leaves are moistened with water and covered. Temperature and humidity are checked regularly while maintaining the highest quality standards. During fermentation, the microorganisms naturally contained in the tea plant come into play. These convert the tannins and bitter substances into significantly milder polyphenols. They are therefore responsible for the fact that the flavour of the spicy organic tea also sets its own standards. The typically tangy, almost earthy flavour of organic Pu-Erh Tea makes it the ideal digestif after hearty, heavy meals. The high quality of the organic tea leaves also comes into its own when enjoyed purely. Because the aromatic, fragrant tea naturally contains caffeine, it is also ideal as a stimulating accompaniment to breakfast. Ingredients: 100 % Pu-erh tea (contains caffeine) – organic quality Preparation: The distinctive flavour unfolds best in a pre-warmed teapot. Pour boiling water over 1 to 1 ½ teaspoons of KOTTAS Kräuterhaus Organic Pu-Erh Tea per cup. If you want to enjoy your tea rich in caffeine, leave it to infuse for 2 to 3 minutes. If you are looking for relaxation, we recommend a slightly longer infusion time of 4 to 5 minutes. Then strain as usual and enjoy!
