Teapot Bags
15.9 oz (450 g), 30 bags
Thirty large bags sized for a full teapot rather than a single cup — the bagged version of the same concentrate-and-dilute method, for days when steeping loose leaf isn’t practical.
Steep one bag in the pot, then dilute to taste, the same as you would with loose leaf.

How to brew
Turkish tea is a concentrate and a dilution.
That’s the whole idea. It means one pot serves a table of people who all want something different.
- 01
Boil
Fill a kettle. You’ll want more water than seems reasonable.
- 02
Rinse and load
Warm a small pot with a splash of the boiling water, pour it out, then add one heaped teaspoon of leaf per glass you plan to pour. Don’t be shy.
- 03
Brew long
Cover with about 1 cup (250 ml) of boiling water. Keep the pot warm — over very low heat, or on the lid of the kettle. Leave it 12 to 15 minutes.
- 04
Pour to taste
Concentrate into the glass first, then hot water on top. Start at one to three and adjust from there.
Our story
Tea took hold on this coast in the late 1930s.
A state project to give a wet, steep region with little farmland a living. Of has rain most of the year and fog most mornings — close to ideal for tea.
