#blackteapowder #instanttea #drink #teabeveage Black tea powder, also known as powdered black tea or instant black tea, is made from finely ground black tea leaves. It's similar to matcha, which is made from finely ground green tea leaves. To produce black tea powder, high-quality black tea leaves are harvested, processed, and then ground into a fine powder. This powder can be used to make tea quickly by simply mixing it with hot water, eliminating the need for steeping tea leaves. Black tea powder retains much of the flavor, aroma, and health benefits of regular black tea. It's often used in culinary applications, such as in baking, smoothies, desserts, and even savory dishes. Additionally, it's convenient for travel or for situations where brewing loose leaf or bagged tea may not be practical.

Choosing the Right Coffee Roaster 🌻 🌴 When it comes to finding the perfect coffee roaster, there are a few key factors to consider: 1. **Coffee Consumption:** How much coffee do you need regularly? This will help you determine the size and capacity of the roaster you need. 2. **Roast Style:** Do you prefer light, medium, or dark roasts? Understanding your roast preference is crucial for selecting a roaster that aligns with your taste. 3. **Flavor Profile:** What flavors do you enjoy? Whether you love fruity, nutty, or chocolatey notes, knowing your preferred flavor profile will guide your choice. Remember, freshly roasted coffee is at its best for only 4-5 days, so choose a roaster that can keep your coffee fresh and flavorful! Happy brewing! 🌻 #Grindergrinding #CoffeeRoaster #DeStoner #CoffeeLovers #CoffeeShop #UsedRoaster #Coffeeroastermachine #Cafe #barista #Proroaster #Coffeeroastery

Top Note found our way into Imbibe Magazine this past month. We are thrilled to be part of the mix of grapefruit sodas tasted as part of their round up of the category! Why this list now? Palomas are hot hot hot. And this cocktail is extremely easy to craft with a great grapefruit soda. But, besides taste, #barmanagers need to get to the nitty gritty, and that is costs. We would add a couple of nuances to this round up; 1. Imports on this list are all in 200 ml packages or smaller, and they are all higher, by far, in sugar....yes, the US products are not sugar bombs (surprise!). 2. If you own a bar program, imports cost you....You just don't get the same number of cocktails out of the case. The single serve/bottle or can is not a good look if you are seeking sustainability either. 3. Domestics are in bigger bottles or cans, and serve perfect 2 drinks. But, sugar levels are all over the place. Find one that fits your customer preference and cocktail style. 4. If flavor matters (it always does), Top Note gives you the most real juice in our grapefruit soda, and is a gold medal Grapefruit.

🚀 left&ripe! Your new go-to, 4% ABV session soda that hits all the right notes! 🍋🍓 At left&ripe, our mission is to provide a locally and sustainably sourced soda (say that 5x over) …with a low-calorie twist, that tastes bloody good, it's your perfect session beverage. We intentionally craft our drinks using wonky or excess fruit and source our ingredients locally.

We wanted a healthier alternative to beer and high-ABV cocktails that’s tasty, refreshing, and perfect for any occasion – not just at the pub. That’s how left&ripe was born. As per The Grocer article, mindful drinking is on the rise, with more people moving away from higher ABV drinks in favour of lighter, more balanced options. Consumers are seeking beverages that allow them to enjoy longer, more controlled sessions without compromising on taste or experience. We believe we've hit the spot. Our 4% ABV session sodas are perfectly in tune with this shift, offering a delightful and responsible choice for the modern drinker, with no dreaded sugary, cocktail hangover.

For those who like a full-bodied and flavourful coffee, the French Press is the perfect brewing method. ✨ Since the filter of a French press, unlike filter paper, does not filter out coffee oils, the coffee brewed this way retains its full flavour. 💧💧💧 If you want a truly delicious coffee, always grind your coffee beans fresh! Most French Press experts prefer medium to dark roasts, which are slower to release oils, flavours and character. Do not use boiling water, as this will give a burnt taste, and if you use water at a temperature lower than the recommended temperature, you will end up with a watery, tasteless drink. It is a good idea to transfer the finished coffee to a coffee pourer, as it is not good for the coffee if the coffee beans continue to soak. ☕👌 ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/dUbpbD9R #trendglasjena #trendglas #coffeemaker #frenchpress #heatresistantglass #coffee #coffelovers #glass

🌟 *What is Decaf?* 🌟 Decaf, short for decaffeinated coffee, is a delicious option for coffee lovers who want to enjoy their favorite beverage without the jitters! Scientifically speaking, decaf coffee undergoes a process called decaffeination, which removes most of the caffeine while preserving the rich flavors and aromas we love. The decaffeination process typically involves soaking coffee beans in water, allowing caffeine to dissolve. The beans are then treated with various methods (like using solvents or activated carbon) to extract the caffeine. Afterward, the beans are dried and roasted to perfection, ensuring you get a delightful cup every time. It's important to note that while decaf coffee contains significantly less caffeine than regular coffee, it isn't completely caffeine-free. A small amount of caffeine may still be present, so it's a great option for those looking to reduce their intake without giving up coffee entirely. At Barbarossa Coffee, we pride ourselves on using only the highest quality decaf coffee beans. Our expertly sourced decaf delivers a smooth, satisfying taste that allows you to savor your coffee experience any time of day. ☕💖 Join us in exploring the world of decaf and discover how you can indulge without compromise! #webrewwithlove @decaf #houstonfoodies #Houstontexas #htx #CoffeeShop #CoffeeLover #CafeVibes #CoffeeTime #SpecialtyCoffee #CoffeeAddict #BaristaLife #InstaCoffee #CoffeeCulture #CoffeeArt #DailyBrew #CoffeeCommunity #CaffeineFix #SupportLocal #CoffeeInspiration
