Description
Tea is an aromatic beverage commonly prepared by pouring hot or boiling water over cured leaves. It is one of the most widely consumed drink in the world after water. A tea can be flavored through the addition of inclusions, by being coated in extracts, or by being scented. Often more than one method is used. Most inclusions alter the flavor or aroma of the cup in some ways. Most "flavored" teas, are flavored with Natural Identical flavoring agents. These flavoring agents are thicker than water but usually thinner than olive oil. The total amount of agent applied depends on the flavor and desired strength, but usually falls between 0.5% and 5% of the weight of the tea being flavored. To apply an extract to the tea, the flavoring agent is poured or sprayed over the dry leaf and then the leaves are blended (mixed) to ensure an even distribution.
