Raspberry Rose Yaopon
Florida yaupon is paired with hibiscus, red rose petals, rose hips, lemon peel and fruit flavor for a bright, floral cup with tart edges. Contains 16 natural-fiber tea sachets.
How to brew
- Tea: 1 tea bag per 8 fl oz (240 ml) of water
- Water temperature: 212°F (100°C)
- Steep time: 5–7 minutes, then strain or remove the tea bag.
- Cups per ounce: 1 cup per tea bag. For a dry-tea weight comparison, 1 ounce makes approximately 11 cups at 2.5 g per cup; actual bag weight and package count determine your yield.
Start with this guide and adjust to taste. A larger mug or stronger brew uses more tea and makes fewer cups per ounce.
