"Coppa Aya" is the Singhalese word for "Good Cup". The people that pick our tea are Singhalese. All Kevton tea is Coppa Aya whatever way we package it. Kevton tea is very light but full bodied and we do not overpower our tea with the fruit taste. Kevton tea is 100% natural and because of our growing elevations and pick, our teas are naturally low in caffeine without the chemical processing used to de-caffeinate other teas. We are sure you will agree natural is always the best option.

1. Fill a kettle with cool fresh water or bottled spring water. Hot tap water is stale and de-aerated from standing in hot water tanks.

2. Bring water to a boil, remove from burner once it reaches boiling. If the water is not hot enough proper extraction of the flavor will not occur, but if the water is too hot, boiling too long, the water will be de-aerated and the tea can scald and taste bitter and stale.

3. If making tea in the kettle, use one teabag for every two cups of water, and one for the pot if making a whole potful. One Kevton teabag is a full leaf tea in a bag and will go further that most teas.

4. If making a cup, pour your water into the cup.

5. Steep one teabag or teabags for a potful, for 3 to 5 minutes.

6. Remove the teabags.

7. Sweeten the cup or the pot or not.

Ice Tea – One Gallon

1. Use the same method in numbers 1 and 2 of Traditional Tea.

2. Put 7 teabags into the kettle with tags hanging out side.

3. Pour sweetener into the gallon container or pitcher, or not.

4. Steep the teabags for 5 minutes in the kettle, then remove and discard teabags.

5. Pour a little plain warm water into pitcher before adding the hot tea water to container. Mix well if sweetened. This is to ensure that you do not crack or break the container if glass or ceramic.

6. Fill remaining portion of container with cold or ice.

7. "Icing" the tea is the process of going from extremely hot to extremely cold and will shock the tea leaves. I prefer to refrigerate the tea for a few hours, or overnight. This allows the tea to relax and for the flavor to blossom out.

8. Adding complimenting fresh fruit, or garden mint at the time of serving makes this a very special treat.
