Orthodox tea

Orthodox tea refers to a traditional method of steeping tea leaves that emphasizes careful handling and specific brewing techniques. It involves using whole, high-quality tea leaves, typically rolled or curled, which are brewed in water at controlled temperatures and times to preserve flavor and aroma. This method is common for premium teas like loose leaf black or green teas, allowing for nuanced tasting experiences. Orthodox processing contrasts with mass-produced tea bags, focusing on craftsmanship to extract the tea's full character, offering a more refined and authentic tasting profile.
