Tea By iLOLA - Luxury Experience

As tea drinkers, we love our new "discovery" of Tea By iLOLA^TM with its easy-to-use tea discs, that we can take wherever we go, and have the rich flavors and benefits associated with loose tea. We tried their Tea by iLOLA^TM Essentials Set, which included two delicious selections of tea: Moroccan Mint Green Tea No. 26, a medium caffeine tea, and Royal Cream of Earl Gray Black Tea No. 12, a high caffeine tea, a Tea Disc Infuser, and a Tea Disc Traveller 12-ounce thermos with tea infuser to take our tea on the go. Beautifully packaged, Tea by iLOLA^TM makes a perfect gift for favorite tea drinker or as a gift for yourself.

Tea by iLOLA^TM Tea Discs Are Easy to Use

Unlike loose leaf tea, Tea by iLOLA^TM tea discs are easy to take with you to use anywhere, anytime, anyplace, as there is no measuring involved; you only need hot water. Su-Mari Hill, co-founder of Tea by ILOLA^TM invented a method of compressing loose leaf tea into compact discs that are easy to use and provide a perfect cup or pot of tea every time, without losing any of the flavor, health benefits, or layered nuances of loose-leaf tea. No more measuring out loose-leaf tea into a tea ball, simply add one Tea by iLOLA^TM tea disc per cup or small teapot or two discs for a teapot, and you have perfect tea.

Finding the Perfect Temperature and Steeping Time

Does the water temperature affect the tea? The answer is yes, and what we especially liked about Tea by iLOLA^TM is that they include a tea chart for each type of tea, the optimal steeping temperature and steeping time, so that you can get the most flavorful tea each time you make it.

For example, Functional and Herbal Teas require a much higher steeping temperature than Green and White Teas, which are more delicate, and the steeping temperature for Oolong and Black Tea sits in between the two. Steeping times also vary, with Functional and Herbal requiring longer steeping times versus Green and White Teas which require lesser steeping times.

How to Use the Tea Discs

Using the temperature chart, heat water to the suggested steeping time for the tea variety you are using. Place the Tea by iLOLA^TM tea disc infuser inside the thermos, cup, or tea pot. Add enough water to your cup, thermos, or teapot and fill halfway with warmed water. Add a Tea by iLOLA^TM tea disc in the infuser, then slowly pour more warmed water over the tea disc. Steep according to the tea chart. Remove the infuser with the bloomed tea leaves and enjoy your tea.

The Proof is in the Tasting

We tried the Moroccan Mint Green Tea No. 26, a medium caffeine tea, made with Gunpowder Green Tea, Peppermint, Natural Peppermint Flavoring, Proprietary Probiotic Blend, Certified Organic. The tea was delicious with enough caffeine to say "hello" without being overpowering, and it had a lovely, lingering peppermint aftertaste that encouraged us to drink another cup. We drank the tea hot as well as cold and it was delicious either way. Served over ice with a sprig of mint and lemon garnish, we will be drinking this one all summer long.

We also tried the Royal Cream of Earl Grey No. 12, a high caffeine tea made with Kenyon Black Tea, Orange Peel, Blue Cornflower, Natural Bergamot Flavoring, Natural Vanilla Flavoring, Proprietary Probiotic Blend, Certified Organic. This tea is a "wake me up" kind of tea with high levels of caffeine that is perfect for a morning tea to get your day started, or as an afternoon "pick me up." The blend was well-crafted and delicious.
