Delight your senses with incredible handmade artisanal tea creations. These artisan teas conceal worlds of mystery and soft flavors deep within their shell-like exteriors. The techniques used to create them have been handed down from generation to generation and haven't changed in centuries. If you look closely, you can even see the string used to tie the broad-leafed, spring production tea, chosen leaf by leaf by the artists themselves. It takes about 10 minutes for an artisan to create one artisanal tea piece. In general, 60-75 pieces make up approximately 1 lb – roughly 10 hours worth of work! What’s the best way to brew these drinkable works of art? In a glass teapot of course! A glass teapot offer an open window on the agony of the leaf as the tea balls open to reveal the floral treasure contained within. Watch as the leaves unfurl, the bright colors of the flowers bleed into the water and the balls are transformed into flowers themselves. This is the first time many of these teas have become available in the West so let them shine.

The advantage of this decaffeination process is that no chemical solvents (such as methylene chloride or ethyl acetate) are used to remove the caffeine. This decaffeination process involves flushing carbon dioxide (CO2) through freshly plucked tea leaves soaked in water, and then drained it off, removing the caffeine. The process may be more expensive, but it produces a better tasting tea and leaves no chemical residue. The result is a decaf tea that is sure to please.

All our homebrewing equipment kits utilize the Single Stage fermentation process of brewing beer where after the primary fermentation, for approximately 7-11 days, the beer is bottled. If, after a couple batches of homebrew beer with your single stage equipment kit, you decide to make a clearer, smoother and cleaner tasting beer, you can transform your single stage to a Two Stage process by just acquiring a 5 gallon glass carboy and a #7 Drilled Rubber Stopper and, depending on the equipment kit you already have, a carboy brush may be necessary. We make it simple to upgrade without making any parts redundant. With the two stage fermentation process, instead of bottling after the primary fermentation (7-11 days), the fermented beer in the 6.5 gallon fermenter or 6 gallon carboy is siphoned (leaving sediments behind) into a 5 gallon carboy with the airlock attached. The carboy needs to be covered to protect it from light and a allow to finish fermenting, settling and conditioning for up to 1 1/2 months or until the beer is clear before bottling. The two stage fermentation process will result in less sediment in the bottle and a clear, smooth, clean tasting beer. --- Remember to compare the detail parts to the equipment KIT when deciding on your purchase here at Barkingside Co. or at another fine homebrew store. TIPS: Refer to "Make Your Own" under FAQ section for more details on how to make beer before acquiring individual piece of equipment. Cost less to get equipment kit.
