Hooghly Holler Specialty Tea
Available Sizes : 100g or 500g
The Calcutta Swimming Club and the Tollygung Golf Club both serve teas, which have local character. Our blend takes these profiles into account. We detected notes of aromatic citrus in the garden of the Swimming Club (hence the Earl Grey note). The tea served was sweetened with mango blossom honey (hence the sweet home notes). At the Tollygung they tended towards spice characters such as ginger and Vanilla. Rounding the blend out and drawing all the distinct components together was full flavored Assam - the richest tea in the world. Full bodied pungent tea combining Earl Grey and Vanilla green tea with delicious maltiness from a flavory 2nd flush Assam.   [ View more details ]

Calcutta is the centre of the Indian tea trade and during it’s heyday - the centre of the British influence in India. In Calcutta the sights and flavors that abound are many and varied. You will look one way and say: ’wow, that is the strangest thing I have ever seen’ only to look another way and say ‘ No that is the strangest’.

The Calcutta Swimming Club and the Tollygung Golf Club both serve teas, which have local character. Our blend takes these profiles into account.

Hot Tea Method

Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 teaspoon of tea for each cup into the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Pour into your cup and add milk and sugar to taste.

Iced Tea Method

(to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 teaspoons of tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the leaves. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. [A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water.]
