Info: 24 Luxury Pyramid Tea Bags per Canister; Available in 9 Types; All With Low or No Caffeine Content
M21 Luxury Teas are sourced from around the world and purified, quality tested, blended and packed into special pyramid-shaped bags in small batches here in Canada by The Metropolitan Tea Company based in Etobicoke, Ontario. These are all non-black varieties: one berry, two Rooibos, one decaffeinated English Breakfast, one explicitly labeled as herbal, and the final four including some green, and thus caffeinated, tea - but in a lower and more gradual way than Metropolitan's Black Teas.

Suggested Usage:
Bring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 teabag for each 200 to 260 ml (7 to 9 oz) of fluid volume you'll be preparing in an empty teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for either 3 to 5 or 3 to 7* minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time, the stronger the tea). *(Depending on the type; each type has icons on the back labels indicating the steeping times and whether milk or sweeteners or lemon or mint garnishes are recommended, like this set from the Decaf English Breakfast type.)
