The deep, robust flavor of the black tea forms a perfect base for the light fruitiness of the lemon and the subtle spiciness of the spices, resulting in a harmonious and seductive blend.
The strength of Amsterdam Melange can vary, depending on how long you let the tea steep. If you like a milder taste, let the tea steep for 3 minutes. For a more intense taste experience, you can let the tea steep for up to 5 minutes. Use water with a temperature of 95-100°C and add 1 teaspoon of tea per cup.
For the best taste, it is recommended to brew the tea in a teapot and allow the tea leaves to develop fully.
Amsterdam Melange is a versatile tea, ideal for everyday moments as well as special occasions. Enjoy it at breakfast, during a pleasant afternoon with friends, or in the evening after a long day of work. The blend's full flavor and pleasant aromas make it an excellent choice for any time of the day.

A popular way to serve Amsterdam Melange is with a slice of orange or lemon, which enhances the citrus notes of the blend. For a sweeter version, you can add a spoonful of honey or a dash of vanilla extract. If you prefer your tea spicier, add a pinch of cinnamon or star anise to emphasize the warm spice flavour.
Amsterdam Melange is also a delicious option as an iced tea, especially on hot summer days. Make a stronger cup of tea, let it cool and add ice cubes, fresh orange slices and a sweetener of your choice to create a refreshing, fruity and spicy iced tea.
