Is BASILUR Leaf Tea is better than tea bags?

Occasionally, tea connoisseurs will express contempt for tea bags, for the following reasons1. Tea bags usually contain broken grades so that they will infuse quickly. 2. Whole-leaf teas come in a larger number of varieties; and the most interesting and enjoyable teas are sometimes not available in bags. 3. Connoisseurs like to have something to sneer at. Nevertheless, BASILUR use only the highest quality grades for our tea bags ensuring the same enjoyment as of a leafy grade. Of course, you can always enjoy BASILUR leaf tea better because you could touch it and feel it and see how is has been made. We invite you to enjoy some of the unique characters of Ceylon teas such as Dimbula, Nuwara Eliya and Uva in BASILUR tea bags.

  

Where did the name ‘tea’ come from? 

The word for tea in most of mainland China (and also in Japan) is ‘cha’. (Hence its frequency in names of Japanese teas: Sencha, Hojicha, etc.) But the word for tea in Fujian province is ‘te’ (pronounced approximately ‘tay’). As luck would have it, the first mass marketers of tea in the West were the Dutch, whose contacts were in Fujian. They adopted this name, and handed it on to most other European countries. The two exceptions are Russia and Portugal, who had independent trade links to China. The Portuguese call it ‘cha’, the Russians ‘chai’. Other areas (such as Turkey, South Asiaand the Arab countries) have some version of ‘chai’ or ‘shai’.

‘Tay’ was the pronunciation when the word first entered English, and it still is in Scotland and Ireland. For unknown reasons, at some time in the early eighteenth century the English changed their pronunciation to ‘tee’. Virtually every other European language, however, retains the original pronunciation of ‘tay’.

   The Mantova family’s ties with olive oils go back to the early 1900’s. Since that time, they have become one of the leading producers and blenders of quality olive oils in Italy. The delicate craft of blending premium oils is entrusted to Mr. Adriano Mantova whose remarkable ability to create the finest flavored olive oils is the result of the experience and passion accumulated through four generations.

Fratelli Mantova presents their newest addition to their fine collection of olive oils, a 100% natural extra virgin olive oil in a convenient spray bottle that is designed to perfectly preserve the taste, aroma and healthful attributes of the olive oil.
Mantova 100% Natural Spray Olive Oil is excellent for cooking or for seasoning foods.
The revolutionary “bag-in-valve” system allows the oil to be atomized without the use of chemicals, additives or emulsifying agents. The pressurized can encloses a little bag containing the extra virgin olive oil. When the spray nozzle is pressed the propellant compresses the bag inwards forcing the oil out in a gentle, even mist, all while protecting the oil inside from contact with air. The result is the oil never comes into contact with air until it is released.

Mantova’s Spray Olive Oil allows you to decrease the quantity of fat used in cooking and on cooked foods.

The unique spray bottle spreads the oil evenly without excess or waste and is perfect for grilling, sautéing and baking and works for meats,
fish & seafood, vegetables, salads, and all non-stick cooking applications.
