Teas…
All our teas are blended using leaves, flowers, peel, berries and roots that have been organically grown and hand picked at La Luna. They are then dried and processed in the Witch’s Kitchen, blended and packaged in a variety of combinations. All our teas are loose leaf tea – no tea bags! – so they need to be served in a pot and poured using a tea strainer, or brewed in a cup or mug using an infuser. For the best tea, follow the steps below…
- Boil kettle
- The pot should be pre-warmed (pour a little boiled water into the pot and swish it around before discarding water)
- Place tea leaves in the pot – usually 1 teaspoon per person plus 1 for the pot
- Allow water in the kettle to rest for a short time before using. Boiling water will scald the tea leaves, so allow the boiling to subside before pouring hot water over the tea leaves.
- Allow the tea to “brew” or infuse. This is the process by which the tea leaves absorb water and, in turn, expel their flavours and aromas into the water. The longer the infusion the stronger the tea (up to a point). Usually, during the infusion, tea leaves that have been floating on top of the water will sink to the bottom of the pot…this is sometimes a good way to tell when your tea is ready to drink.
- Using a strainer, pour tea into your favourite cup. Breathe in the fragrance of perfumed flowers and leaves, before taking a refreshing sip.

Prepared in a traditional chinese style for a mild, floral, green tea. When you finish a pot of green tea you can pour more hot water over the leaves for a fresh pot, or continue to add water to the tea pot as you drink the tea. You can usually get a lot of cups from one pot of green tea. |
