Is the tea dried using warm air or smoke?

Our organic San Mateo Yerba Mate for instance is air-dried. Air drying is a processing technology that allows us to greatly reduce the PAH levels in our Yerba Mate. Quote from there site http://guayaki.com/mate/81628/Health-Concerns.html

I also purchased a tea pot warmer that uses a tea light candle. It keeps the pot of tea just the right temp for drinking for several hours or until I finish the pot.

What I did is as SOON as the tea was made, still HOT, I poured it into pint size STERILE canning jars. After the jars were cool I put them in the frig for safe keeping. I never had to throw out any tea gone bad because I basically "canned" the tea.

room temp is fine, as long as it is dry. when making it in to a tea it needs to boil for at least 15 min.

Oh boy, HB. You got so many interesting, funny, and/or stupid responses to this. Seeing as how it is now a year later, I'm sure this feed is dead, but I'm so happy I found it. Many teas steep well at 150 degrees (which is how hot this gets I believe), and anyone who has never put milk in their hot tea is truly missing out. I'm not sure if you were planning on just using water or using milk, but either way I think it's a winner.

Same with mine, unless it is a sunny day. I've used towels over the top where there are gaps between the smoker and lid. That helps some, also.

It is a rich dark toasted color and smells great; strong wonderful sesame smell. Works great right out of the can. I believe it is toasted. I sure wouldn't try to heat it for additional toasting.

Interesting question,I never read the direction since I make this tea regularly. And no I never rinse the flowers first.

I drink the tea hot, but I do not see any reason why it can't be cold. It has a very good flavor.

Depends on temp of water the flowers are dehydrated so the hotter the tea seems to be the faster it opens. I like a lot of flavor so prefer to let it take its time.

The capsule contents look like fine powder, not grains. Most tea is chopped substance, and it would probably make a messy tea.

Either method will work. I prefer loose leaf for natural flavor. The first pot is to wash "remove any unwanted substance in the tea leaf". Enjoy the 2nd and 3rd pot.

Had the same issue. Please soak overnight with dishwashing liquid that has lemon fragrance. Dont leave tea bag in after steeping.

these are dried, as in tea you buy in pkgs. at your grocery store. makes delicious tea. Fresh flowers would mildew and rot.

Sorry, I do not know about that although I do love this tea even although it is a little dusty.

No, it is dried flower. You can boil it and drink like a hot tea, or soak it in cold water for few hours and drink it cold.

What are you trying to do? The temp doesn't get hot enough to steep tea . . . .
