Ittarbagh Tea Co. · Kannauj rose, Indian leaf
Petals,not perfume.
Whole-leaf Darjeeling, Assam and Nilgiri teas, folded with rose petals from the attar fields of Kannauj. Nothing sprayed, nothing added.
02 · The idea
Every summer the rose fields around Kannauj are picked at dawn for attar. We take the petals the distillers leave behind, dry them in the shade, and fold them into the best leaf we can buy. That's the whole recipe.
03 · The collection
Five teas, one garden.
04 · What's in the caddy
Only whatyou can see.
Petals from the Kannauj distilling fields, shade-dried the week they're picked.
Whole leaf from gardens we can name, tasted before we buy a single lot.
Cardamom, cinnamon and saffron threads, crushed the week we pack.
No flavouring oil, no colour, no dust, no refined sugar. Tip a caddy out and check.
05 · The ritual
Four minutes.No shortcuts.
Swirl hot water round the pot first. Cold china steals the heat.
A heaped teaspoon. Petals are light, so heap it.
Let the kettle rest a minute. Greens want three.
Nothing left sitting on the leaf. Steep again for a softer cup.
06 · Where it comes from
Two cities,one cup.
Kannauj has distilled rose into attar for centuries. Kolkata has sold India's tea to the world for almost as long. We sit between the two.
