Ahmad Tea Clove Black Tea, 1.41 oz (40g)

Black tea with real clove pieces in the bag — not clove flavouring. That is the difference, and you can see it in the leaf.

Clove tea is a winter habit across the Middle East, the Caucasus and the Balkans: sweet, warming, slightly numbing on the tongue, and the thing people reach for with a sore throat. It takes sugar well and lemon even better.

The dearest box in the Ahmad range on this shelf, and the clove is why.

Ingredients: black tea with clove pieces.

To make it: 3 to 5 minutes. Keep the box dry, away from heat and direct sun.

Net weight 40 g (1.41 oz) — 20 foil tea bags, 2 g each.

Blended to the standard of Ahmad Tea Ltd, Chandlers Ford, Hampshire, England; packed in the United Arab Emirates.
