Black sage tea is one of the individual herbal teas available from K&M Herbs. A simple introduction to the ingredient and preparation can help you decide whether to add it to your tea cupboard.
What to check before buying black sage tea
Look for the full product description and ingredient list. Common plant names can vary, so a tea sold as black sage should not automatically be treated as the same ingredient as another sage product. Buy a clearly labelled tea and use it as directed.
Preparing your first cup
Follow the packet instructions for water quantity and steeping time. Start with fresh water and a clean cup. Remove the bag when the recommended time is reached, then allow the drink to cool to a comfortable drinking temperature.
Finding your preferred preparation
Taste the tea plain at first. Notice its aroma, colour and flavour before adding anything. If you want to change the strength, follow the label and alter one part of your method at a time. Keeping a short note makes the next cup easier to repeat.
Keeping the packet useful
The packaging is useful after purchase: it holds the ingredients, preparation advice and storage directions. Close it between uses and keep it away from strong kitchen smells. Explore other leaf teas separately to get to know their individual flavours.
