      Foreword

      Welcome to the wonderful world of tea cocktails!

      At Teatulia, we are bringing best-quality organic teas to the world for enjoyment in the traditional (hot) fashion. But we are also seeking to make tea relevant for all elements of our society at all times of day.

      Tea is tremendously versatile, contributes to a healthy lifestyle, and has flavor elements that allow it to pair beautifully with food and spirits. So we figured a book of cocktails would inspire everyone from mixologists to tea experts to neighborhood bbq aficionados to steep some tea, experiment, and enjoy!

      We hope you love this book and that it gives you a greater appreciation and affection for the beautiful, timeless Camellia sinensis and all of its herbal friends.

      Cheers!

      Linda Appel Lipsius

      CEO and Co-Founder of Teatulia Organic Teas

      Introduction

      In classy bars and cocktail lounges across America, tea is making a big splash. The only real surprise here is that using tea in cocktails didn’t catch on much sooner! Why didn’t more people say, Hey, we should try putting some tea in that Long Island iced tea!? With such a range of flavors—from sweet and spicy chai to dark and smoky yerba mate—tea is an ideal mixer. It offers nuanced complexity to your cocktails that you simply can’t achieve from most traditional cocktail mixers, especially commercially-produced syrups that tend to have overpowering artificial flavor. My first sip of a tea cocktail was, quite honestly, startling—I had thought it might just taste like a watered down mojito, when instead it was brilliantly refreshing, vibrant, and layered with subtle but luscious flavors.

      The recipes in this book focus on using healthful ingredients such as fresh fruit juice, herbs, and natural sweeteners, both to give you the best possible flavor and to complement the health benefits of the tea. Enjoyed in moderation, tea cocktails can give your body a boost!

      Teatulia Organic Teas is passionate about more than just tea—they care deeply about sustainable gardening practices and social responsibility. Started in 2000 to give back to the community in Bangladesh, they sought an enterprise that would give the Bangladeshi people a living wage while protecting/strengthening the environment. Not content with the social programs already in place in their community, Teatulia's cooperative, the KS Foundation, has established revolutionary education, health, and cattle-lending programs for the people working in the garden and surrounding areas. All sales of Teatulia Organic Teas contribute to this mission, helping to better the lives of Bangladeshi men, women, and children while rebuilding the local ecosystem. It is an honor to work with such a forward-thinking company on this book.

      So put a pot on to boil and call up a friend—it’s time for a grown-up tea party!

      Tea 101

      Tea is one of the oldest herbal remedies in existence, dating back more than 4,700 years when infusions of the plant Camellia sinensis were first brewed in China. Although modern medicine has overshadowed many of the ancient cure-alls of our ancestors, the benefits of tea still remain relevant today.

      FIRST THINGS FIRST: DEFINING TEA

      It’s important to understand exactly what qualifies a beverage as tea. Officially, tea refers to black tea, green tea, white tea, oolong tea, or pu-erh tea. The common link between these five categories is that they are each made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Herbal teas aren’t actually scientifically considered teas at all because they do not come from the Camellia sinensis plant, though they may be commonly referred to as such. These kinds of teas or infusions include chamomile or peppermint, which are made using a variety of different plants with varying nutritional values.

      THE FABULOUS FIVE

      What makes the five types of teas distinct from one another? The preparation and maturity of tea leaves determine both the flavor and the nutritional content of each type. The leaves used to make black tea are both wilted and fully
