Interactive Clove Black Tea Ratio & Steeping Timer

Organic clove black tea combines bold single-estate Ceylon orange pekoe leaves with hand-harvested whole aromatic clove buds (Syzygium aromaticum). The infusion is brimming with eugenol, an extraordinary antioxidant compound that delivers warming spicy fragrance and robust microbial defense.

Mastering our Organic Clove Black Tea begins by honoring its botanical synergy: combining whole dried Syzygium aromaticum buds with estate-plucked Camellia sinensis. Handcrafted at the Yoghy Organics official brand hub, this blend delivers a balanced morning lift.

High-Eugenol Clove Buds Paired with Robust Ceylon Orange Pekoe

We source plump Whole Dried Clove Buds bursting with natural Eugenol Essential Oil. When layered alongside crisp, full-bodied Single-Estate Ceylon Orange Pekoe, the malty tannins provide a sturdy structural foundation for the clove's intense aromatic warmth.

Those wishing to create an authentic Chai-style home ritual frequently incorporate a traditional Cardamom & Cinnamon Pairing. By gently crushing whole green cardamom pods alongside dried clove buds, you unlock bright cineole top notes that dance across the robust black tea base.

To complete the warming spice spectrum, herbalists infuse thin quills or broken bark fragments from our single-estate true Ceylon cinnamon tea bags. The natural sweetness of cinnamaldehyde harmonizes the brisk bite of the cloves, yielding an extraordinarily comforting winter tonic.

Antimicrobial, Warming & Oral Wellness Properties of Clove Infusions

Clove buds exhibit an exceptionally High Antioxidant Capacity (ORAC) exceeding 290,000 µmol TE/100g. This makes each cup a premier Warming Antimicrobial Brew that refreshes the mouth, supports gum tissue wellness, and clears dull post-meal heaviness.

Those seeking a completely caffeine-free green cup for evening relaxation can contrast this rich black tea with our gentle low-temperature Ceylon green.

Optimal 208°F Steeping Parameters to Balance Spice and Black Tea Tannins

Extracting both volatile phenolic oils and complex black tea theaflavins requires a precise Hot Infusion (208°F / 4 Min). This near-boiling water temperature unlocks the eugenol while preventing the black tea leaves from releasing excessive astringency.

Frequently Asked Questions About Clove Black Tea

01 How much whole clove is blended with the Ceylon black tea?

Our master formulation combines 75% whole-leaf high-grown Ceylon Orange Pekoe with 25% hand-harvested whole aromatic clove buds (Syzygium aromaticum). This creates an invigorating balance of brisk maltiness and deep, warming spicy eugenol without overwhelming the palate.

02 Does clove black tea contain caffeine?

Yes. Because it is anchored by high-grown single-estate Ceylon Camellia sinensis black tea, an 8-ounce cup contains approximately 40 to 45 milligrams of natural caffeine—roughly half the caffeine of a standard brewed coffee, delivering calm, sustained focus.

03 What is the optimal water temperature for brewing clove black tea?

Infuse at 208°F (98°C) for 4 minutes. This near-boiling water temperature fully releases the lipid-soluble eugenol and caryophyllene essential oils from the clove buds while extracting rich tea theaflavins without harsh bitterness.
