Ignite passion for authentic Turkish tea with Malak Love Black Tea, a 250 g pouch of hand-crafted, artisanal black tea leaves expertly blended for a smooth, floral-forward infusion that captures the warmth of Ottoman hospitality. Sourced from high-altitude gardens in Turkey’s Rize province, each leaf is plucked at peak freshness, withered to preserve natural oils, and slowly oxidized to achieve a balanced amber liquor, delicate malt undertones, and a lingering hint of wild rose petals. Artisanal Craftsmanship & Heritage Sourcing Malak partners directly with smallholder farmers in the foothills of the Kaçkar Mountains—where misty mornings and mineral-rich soils yield tea leaves of exceptional character. After hand-picking the young buds and first two leaves, the leaves are withered under controlled conditions to concentrate essential oils, then gently rolled to release flavor compounds. A proprietary blending process combines two premium cultivars—Assamica for robust body and small-leaf Sinensis for floral aroma—infused with hand-dried wild rose petals (5%) for a natural touch of romance. Flavor Profile & Aroma Harmony Upon steeping, Malak Love Black Tea unveils a bright copper hue, opening with delicate rose-petal perfume, cascading into smooth malt sweetness, and finishing with subtle notes of honey and stone fruit. The balanced astringency cleanses the palate, making it versatile for both solo sipping and food pairings. Brewing & Serving Rituals Traditional Turkish Method: Add one teaspoon per cup of freshly boiled water, steep 5–7 minutes in a cezve-style pot, then pour through a strainer into tulip-shaped glasses to enjoy the full aromatic bouquet. Iced Tea Variation: Double-strength brew, chill, and serve over ice with a sprig of mint and a slice of lemon for a refreshing twist. Modern Tea Lattes: Steep strong and froth with steamed milk or plant-based alternatives, topping with rose syrup and crushed pistachios for elevated café-style drinks.
