The type of melon that most of us are familiar with, and the one that flavors this refreshing tea, is the cantaloupe. This melon, (Latin: Cucumis melo cantalupensis,) is thought to be native to Asia or Persia and is now grown widely in California, Arizona, and Texas. The correct term for the cantaloupe melon, however, is muskmelon. The prefix musk is derived from the Persian word for perfume. This name was given to the melon because of its sweet fruity fragrance when ripened. The suffix melon comes from the Latin word melopepo meaning "apple-shaped melon." - Cantaloupe melon has a watery flesh and a delicately sweet flavor. The fruit itself is very refreshing, as is this tea. The flavor profile of the melon blends beautifully with our Ceylon tea. A splash of milk will greatly compliment the flavor of the tea when served hot, and a dash of sugar will make this one a summer favorite when served over ice. - We only use high grown Ceylon tea from estates more than 5500 feet above sea level; We only use natural flavors, giving a clean true taste with no chemical aftertaste - Hot tea brewing method: Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 teaspoon of tea for each cup into the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Even though milk and a dash of sugar help enhance the flavor character on this tea, it is perfectly acceptable to consume this tea "straight-up." - Iced tea brewing method (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 teaspoons of tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher st
