Metropolitan Tea The Original Maple Tea — 48 Tea Bags, Ceylon Black Tea with Real Maple

Metropolitan Tea Company The Original Maple Tea is a small-batch Ceylon black tea blended with real maple syrup and natural flavors for a smooth, full-bodied cup with warm maple sweetness.

This artisan blend pairs high-grown Sri Lankan black tea with genuine maple syrup and complementary natural flavoring to deliver a balanced brew that’s both bold and approachable. Leaves come from Nuwara Eliya, Dimbula, and Uva—regions known for bright, aromatic Ceylon teas—then are blended and packed in Sri Lanka in small batches to preserve freshness. Each box contains 48 individually portioned tea bags for consistent brewing whether you’re at home, at work, or gifting to someone who appreciates specialty teas.

How does this maple blend taste compared with plain black tea?

The Original Maple Tea highlights the classic structure of Ceylon black tea—brisk, rounded, and fragrant—while adding a natural maple sweetness and subtle caramel notes. The maple flavor is present but not cloying, designed to enhance rather than mask the tea’s character.

• Base: high-grown Ceylon black tea for bright, full-bodied flavor
• Sweetness: real maple syrup creates warm, rounded sweetness
• Finish: light caramel and delicate aroma for a refined aftertaste

What are the practical brewing tips to get the best cup?

Use freshly boiled water and steep for 3–5 minutes depending on how strong you prefer the brew; shorter for a lighter maple presence, longer for a richer cup. One tea bag per 8–10 oz of water is recommended—add milk or a touch of sweetener if desired, though many drink it plain to appreciate the maple notes.

• Water temp: 100°C / 212°F (boiling)
• Steep time: 3–5 minutes to control strength
• Serves well hot or iced; try with a splash of milk or lemon for variety

What makes this tea high quality and consistent?

Quality starts with leaf selection from recognized Sri Lankan regions known for high-grown teas, then continues through small-batch blending and local packing to lock in aroma and flavor. This hands-on approach helps maintain consistent flavor profiles across batches and minimizes exposure to loss of freshness.

• Leaf origin: Nuwara Eliya, Dimbula, Uva—high-elevation estates
• Small-batch blending and packing in Sri Lanka for freshness
• Real maple syrup and natural flavors—no artificial maple substitutes

How can I enjoy Metropolitan Tea Maple Tea beyond a simple cup?

The blend is versatile: enjoy it alongside breakfast pastries, use it to infuse syrups for desserts, or brew a concentrated batch for iced tea. Its maple-forward profile pairs especially well with sweet baked goods, creamy cheeses, and autumn-inspired recipes.

• Pair with croissants, pancakes, or maple-glazed pastries
• Use brewed tea to make iced tea, cocktail mixers, or dessert syrups
• Gifting option: attractive for tea lovers and gourmet-food recipients
