Moringa gives this Green Tea an earthy, slightly leafy backbone, and it tastes best when the water sits just below boiling. Too hot and the green leaf turns bitter; at around 80C it stays soft and grassy.

There is barely any caffeine in it, so it suits any time of day. This makes one mug.
You'll need
- 1 tea bag of Dalgety Moringa with Green Tea
- 200ml water heated to 80C
- 1 220ml mug, warmed
Method
- Rinse the mug with hot water and tip it away, so the tea does not cool the moment it lands.
- Heat 200ml of water to about 80C, just before it boils, to keep the green leaf from scalding.
- Add the bag, pour the water over, and cover for three minutes.
- Lift the bag out without squeezing it, since pressing a green bag pushes out the harsh tannins.
- If you want it stronger, brew a little longer rather than hotter, which keeps the bitterness away.
