Lovely to see our Earl Grey used in this fabulous looking desert! Caption📝 and photos 📸 via @patisserierubanbleu - #What's better than wine in a wine glass? Desserts in a wine glass 😁 Mandarin and Chocolate. Earl Grey and Chocolate Pannacotta with Mandarin 3 ways, fresh, candied and in a homemade marmalade with some chocolate streusel. Two cents: The earl grey tea used in this dessert comes straight from the tea plantations of Assam via some wonderful people at @rujanitea Being small batch tea producers, their tea is extremely different from mass produced tea and the flavour it brought to this Pannacotta was absolutely phenomenal !

The #1 Global Goal for Sustainable Development for the UN is eradicating poverty. Today is the International Day for the eradication of poverty - a timely reminder to support the #EndPoverty initiative - not just today, but every day • At Rujani, we do our bit to support this initiative through the community work we do at our tea farms, Aideobarie and Rangajan: we provide free primary medical benefits to every permanent employee along with free housing for their families. We also provide subsidised food grains for every family - so when you buy our products, you are assured some of what you spend is going to support causes such as #EndPoverty (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGa6_38gMJk/?igshid=9a7tzqjiksbd

What is your favourite tea brewing style? Gong-fu, classic infusion, cold brew, chai teas? • While each is unique, they are similar in that they both demand the right steeping time and care. Neither style rushes the brewing of the tea. Where they differ is in how the tea actually tastes. Rujani Tea can be steeped in all the different styles. We have a preference for the Gong-fu style as it allows us to stop and appreciate the tea in its entirety. If you like to steep tea in this style, choose from our Smoky Ecstasy, Muscatel, Exotica Flat, Emerald Green and any of our speciality white teas • Head to our website for a handy guide of the four popular brewing styles in our recent blog post in the #TeaGRAM (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGZF6GPADYz/?igshid=1tazfxvwikh8s

Rujani Tea's award-winning Gold Tea is a favourite amongst many customers, as well as amongst many of the Rujani team members⠀ •⠀ Boroon @viewingroomb says "it has the right balance between the flavour profile of an Assam black tea, and the aromatics of a second flush Darjeeling tea. Great to make a refreshing gin cocktail with, for the spring and summer months."⠀ •⠀ Boroon loves his gin and tonic and makes a mean gin-tea-cocktail to boot - watch his upcoming Insta reel for his latest cocktail using Rujani Gold (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGMkGNigGOD/?igshid=lb1zqov33eeq

This year has been difficult for many of us, but more so for those with mental health challenges. Today is World Mental Health Day, and we should take the time to remember to ask those you think that need a little bit of help. Let's be there for one another⠀ •⠀ Today, the World Health Organization @who will host a global online advocacy event on mental health. Read more here: https://www.who.int/news-room/events/detail/2020/10/10/default-calendar/the-big-event-for-mental-health⠀ •⠀ We love the Beatles and John Lennon, but did you know he suffered from mental health issues? He speaks about the song-writing process and says, "Subconsciously, I was crying out for help. I didn’t realize it at the time; I just wrote the song because I was commissioned to write it for the movie."⠀ •⠀ Help me if you can, I'm feeling down⠀ And I do appreciate you being 'round⠀ Help me get my feet back on the ground⠀ Won't you please, please help me? - The Beatles (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGJKRQaApH3/?igshid=w9flvck9rakc

"If the plants are doing well, I am happy. If they are not, I do get upset," says Raj / @rajbarooah Rujani’s founder. His first stop in the tea farm is always the section where the youngest plants are growing⠀ •⠀ We are currently propagating purple tea plants in the nursery, and Raj stops to see how they are doing, whenever he is doing his rounds of the farm. “You’re always concerned about the youngest,” Raj says. “I visit them often and see each young plant individually," just as if they were his babies. ⠀ •⠀ This sustained care for our land, the people and the plants that make our small business is paramount to Raj and everyone at Rujani Tea. We hope you feel that care flow through in every sip of Rujani tea you drink - enjoy that cuppa (at Sonari) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGESHSUgl6m/?igshid=d495lejp8u4a

Who loves an infusion? Infusions are quite simply put, teas blended with flavours and additives. They have caught the imagination of tea blenders since time immemorial⠀ •⠀ Think the ever-popular Earl Grey, credited to being a gift of the European royalty, even before the tea plant was discovered by the British tea industry. During that era, oils and other flavouring agents used to infuse or blend tea with, were wholly natural. Today most flavours are artificial or synthetic, termed as “nature-identical" (or NI) flavours⠀ •⠀ The quality of tea to make an infusion need not be excellent. The added flavouring will almost always cover up for any deficiencies of the actual tea. So any mediocre tea can work to make an infusion⠀ •⠀ While we make a few infusions of our own, we use natural and organic additives. Our Earl Grey is made with bergamot oil sourced from France. The Rujani Rose Green (Pic 1) is blended with organic rose petals sourced in Melbourne⠀ •⠀ At Rujani, we are all about and always recommend a straight or "real tea" (Pic 2). As with real tea, you get to appreciate the tea for the tea alone - no hiding there...but each to their own... • 📸 @janisalwayshashercamera (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGCKHwsguEa/?igshid=cmjkggkuu5y0

Another Monday - done! ✅ Time to make a cup of tea, just the way you prefer it. After a busy day, we love a cup of white tea to ease into the evening⠀ •⠀ Sink into your favourite chair. Inhale the sweet floral scent from your cup of Rujani Signature White tea. Feel your shoulders relax. Sip deeply...savour the velvety smoothness over your palate⠀ •⠀ Enjoy the rest of the day and your evening (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF8-o24AphI/?igshid=st15z296tayj
