{"product_id":"down-home-sweet-tea","title":"Down Home Sweet Tea","description":"This blend was created with classic sweet tea in mind—something you’d sip on a front porch in the heartland, looking out over the pasture on a warm summer day. I wanted it to feel familiar and refreshing, but with a little extra depth and character. By adding cedar tips and lavender, this blend becomes more than just sweet tea—it’s a comforting, timeless experience in a cup.\n\nFlavor Profile:\nBold Ceylon black tea gives this blend its strong backbone, perfect for sweetening with honey or sugar. Spearmint adds a cool freshness, orange peel brings a bright citrus spark, and lavender contributes a gentle floral touch. The addition of cedar tips gives the tea a grounding, woodsy note that makes it uniquely ours—classic, refreshing, and layered.\n\nIngredients:\nCeylon black tea, spearmint, cedar tips, orange peel, lavender.\n\nLoose Leaf Brewing Tips:\nUse 1 Tbsp per 8–16 oz hot water (180°–190°). Steep for 5–8 minutes. Save the contents for a second brew.\n\nIced Tea Brewing Tips:\nUse 1 Tbsp per 8 oz water. For iced tea kits, add the tea to the built-in steeper, pour in hot water, and brew for at least 10 minutes. Remove the steeper, sweeten with sugar or honey while warm, then refrigerate. Serve over ice for the perfect porch-side treat.\n\nA Little Note:\nBlack teas and blends like this are forgiving—longer steeps create a stronger, heartier brew that holds up beautifully to sweetener. Quality loose leaf teas can be resteeped for a second cup, especially when the first steep is kept on the lighter side.\n\n*These teas are not intended to treat, diagnose, cure, or prevent any illness, disease, or condition, and have not been evaluated by the FDA.","brand":"Mabel Esther Trading Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51930912456984,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0919\/7813\/7880\/files\/IMG-3588.jpg?v=1775762980","url":"https:\/\/caliscoffeehouse.com\/products\/down-home-sweet-tea","provider":"Cali's Coffee House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
