What Makes Pennywise Tea Unique?
Pennywise Tea stands out because it includes a real red bubblegum in every bag, evoking the playful (and slightly eerie) theme of its namesake. The base is a black tea blended with blackberry leaves, rose, cherry, cranberry, and natural flavor, giving it a medium caffeine kick and high antioxidant content.
Pennywise Tea FAQ
- What does Pennywise Tea taste like?
- It has a sweet, fruity profile dominated by cherry and cranberry, with floral notes from rose and a hint of black tea. The red bubblegum adds a sugary, bubblegum flavor that intensifies the longer it steeps.
- How do I brew Pennywise Tea?
- Use 1 teaspoon of loose tea per 8 oz of water at 200°F (93°C). Steep for 3-5 minutes. Remove the bubblegum before drinking if you don't want extra sweetness, or let it steep the whole time. For iced tea, double the tea, steep, then pour over ice. Do not steep the bubblegum in a metal or reusable filter—use a disposable t-sac or steep it separately.
- Can I chew the bubblegum after brewing?
- Yes, the bubblegum is meant to be chewed. It retains its flavor after steeping. Just make sure it's cool enough to handle.
- How many cups does one bag make?
- The 50g (1.75oz) bag makes approximately 20-25 cups, depending on your preferred strength.
- Is Pennywise Tea caffeinated?
- Yes, it has a medium caffeine level due to the black tea base. It also has high antioxidant content. If you are sensitive to caffeine, consider steeping for a shorter time or using a smaller amount of tea.
