Cold BGONE Herbal Tea (Organic): Hello feeling better! Delicious lemony brightness combined with a sweet winter fruit profile. Light piquant cinnamon finish.

You wake up, late for work or school, your head feels like a block of wood and you've got the sniffles. Boo. No way around it, you've got a cold. The common cold, variously known as nasopharyngitis, rhinopharyngitis, acute coryza or head cold is reportedly the most common disease facing humanity, affecting people in each and every corner of the globe. In the United States, economic research indicates that in addition to knocking people out with various symptoms, the common cold is responsible for upwards of $20 billion per year in cold-related work losses. (Not a number to sneeze at!)

Here at Metropolitan Tea, while we can't profess to have a bonafide cure for the common cold, (trust us, if we did we'd have moved to warmer climes ages ago) we are pleased to offer this fabulous blend of ginger, orange peel, cinnamon and our own Montebello Spice herbal tea. Capitalizing on folkloric belief in the curative power of ginger and vitamin boost of citrus, Cold BGone serves as a barrier between your body and nasopharyngitis, coryza, or however you wish to describe what's ailing you.

In addition to giving your body a nutrient boost, Cold BGone is also an exceedingly rich and delicious herbal tea. With hints of spice, ginger and fruit, the cup is round and exceptionally full-bodied for an herbal tea - the perfect beverage for relaxing in front of a roaring fire, or sitting up in bed dreaming of a healthier tomorrow. Speaking of bed, we've blended Cold BGone to be caffeine free, so it won't stop you from getting the proper rest you need to fight off the symptoms coming your way. Enjoy.

ICED TEA BREWING METHOD (Pitcher): (To Make 1 Liter/Quart):
Place 6 slightly heaping teaspoons of loose tea or 6 tea bags into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 1¼ cups/315ml over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the tea or removing the tea bags. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish 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. (Note: Some luxury quality teas may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of luxury quality and nothing to worry about.)

ICED TEA BREWING METHOD (Individual Serving):
Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea or 1 tea bag into a teapot for each serving required. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 6-7oz/170-200ml per serving over the tea. Cover and let steep for 5 minutes. Add hot tea to a 12oz/375ml acrylic glass filled with ice, straining the tea or removing the bags. Not all of the tea will fit, allowing for approximately an additional ½ serving. Sweeten and/or add lemon 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. (Note: Some luxury quality teas may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of luxury quality and nothing to worry about!)

ANTIOXIDANT BENEFIT: For a greater antioxidant benefit brew longer and use more tea.

FOOD SAFETY ADVISORY: We strongly recommend using filtered or freshly drawn cold water brought to a rolling boil when brewing all types of tea. Today's water has been known to carry viruses, parasites and bacteria. Boiling the water will kill these elements and reduce the potential incidence of water-borne illnesses.
