THE STORY OF ROCKY HORROR SPICE
On the 19th of June, 1973, "The Rocky Horror Show", the brainchild of writer Richard O'Brien, was unleashed on an unsuspecting London audience to great fanfare. The show, which would win two awards for Best New Musical that year, chronicles the adventures of Dr. Frank N. Furter, a mad scientist of sorts, and an assorted cast of other zany characters. Unbelievably, the stage show is still running, as is its 1975 film adaptation, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", which to this day remains the longest running theatrical release in motion picture history.
So, where does tea fit in? Good question. Since it made its NYC debut in 1976, the film has spawned a formidable cult following centered on audience interaction with the screen. Throughout the movie audience members throw all sorts of things at the movie including toast, playing cards, kit kat bars and confetti. (We wouldn't want to have to clean the theatre after a screening!) As a longtime fan of the film, our Master Taster wanted to commemorate it in tea, and while we couldn't very well add toast or playing cards to a blend, we could, and did add the last item mentioned, candy confetti.
As a reference to the film's spicy storyline, we've based the blend on our world famous pumpkin spice blend which combines the flavors of hibiscus, rosehip, rooibos, cinnamon, apple and orange with pieces of tiny candy confetti. A luscious tea - the perfect pick-me-up to enjoy before a midnight screening!
Turn your bag of upside down a few times. The powdered spices can settle at the bottom of the bag during transit.
BREWING INSTRUCTIONS
BREWING INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOT TEA: Infuse one slightly heaping teaspoon for each 8 ounce cup with boiling water for 5-10 minutes.
Infuse 6 slightly heaping teaspoons of tea with 1 1/4 cups of boiling water for 7 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water, and add the infused tea, straining the leaves, to the pitcher. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Add lemon and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water.
Infuse 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea with 6 ounces of boiling water for 7 minutes. Add the tea to a 12 ounce glass, filled with ice, straining the leaves. Add hot tea to a 12oz/375ml acrylic glass filled with ice, straining the tea or removing the bags. Add lemon and sweeten to taste.
NUMBER OF CUPS: 15-20 cups from each 50 grams of tea, with a single use of the leaves. Loose leaf tea is traditionally infused 3 times, with a different flavor profile following each infusion. Accordingly, each 50 gram bag can make up to 60 cups of tea.
