Tea Guide

Every cup holds a story

Somewhere far away, these leaves were carefully plucked, withered, bruised, panned and fired to become a finished tea. Sorted, graded and travelled, they arrived at Manon Tea Room — where your story begins.

SUSTAINABILITY FROM GARDEN TO CUP

Manon Tea Room is a proud member of the Ethical Tea Partnership, a global organisation dedicated to improving social and environmental practices in tea-growing regions.

Childaid Network

We support the Childaid Network, an organisation working to improve access to education for children and young people in tea-growing regions. The network is primarily focused on the Assam region in northeastern India, but also has projects in Nepal, Bangladesh and Myanmar.

Childaid Network helps families establish small tea gardens to secure their livelihoods. Today, around 1,000 families have formed cooperatives to grow and sell their own tea.

Step 1

Warm your teapot with hot water, then empty. Bring fresh water to the desired temperature before brewing.

Add one teaspoon per person to the pot, and one for luck.

Step 2

Pour the freshly boiled water over the tea. Stir with a teaspoon and gently inhale the aroma.

The optimal temperature is around 90 degrees.

Step 3

Allow the tea to steep for the desired intensity. Some teas need longer to develop their notes.

Follow the instructions or your nose.

Step 4

Pour the tea through a strainer into your favourite cup, or someone else’s.

Take your time. It will be hot.

Step 5

Add sugar, milk, lemon or honey to enhance the natural flavours.

Or go au naturel.

Step 6

Find a quiet spot. Take a sip and be transported for five blissful minutes.
