Illustration of Sonnet

Meet the cat

Sonnet

Sonnet came to her family at age two with her mother and sister, initially so skittish that she spent most of her time hiding. With patience and the comfort of her family, her sweet personality slowly emerged, and over the years she has blossomed into a loving lap cat who melts into the arms of the people she trusts. Now 11, she’s still a little skittish but has truly come into her own as a relaxed, affectionate companion.

She has grown a fondness for tea since my leaving for college, and now my parents regularly save the ice cubes from my father’s iced tea for her to lick. She will run across the room to her cat tree to receive the ice cubes and a little bit of food whenever he comes home from work. I am told that ice cubes that have not been in tea are not acceptable. Ice from the fridge will simply not do. It needs to have a bit of tea on it for her to lick away until they melt.

The tea on this page is named after Sonnet.

The tea

Tart, sweet, and bright red in the cup

Hibiscus brings the tartness, blueberry and passionfruit bring the sweetness, and an organic rooibos base gives it enough body to taste like a drink rather than a fruit tea. It brews an alarming ruby colour that is honestly half the appeal.

Caffeine-free, and one of the best iced teas we make.

you like tart, fruity, caffeine-free teas, especially over ice
Maybe not if
you want something mellow — hibiscus is sharp and this one leans into it

Getting it right

How we'd steep Sonnet's.

If it tastes good, it is good. These are guidelines, not gospel — start here and move whichever way your cup wants to go.

Water
212°F
Time
5–10 minutes
Leaf
3g per 12oz

One sachet per 12 oz mug. No measuring, same numbers otherwise.

  • We'd start here

    Hot, in a mug

    Full boil, five to ten minutes. The color arrives long before the flavor does, so judge it by taste rather than by looking at it.

  • Over ice

    Double the leaf, ten minutes, then over a full glass of ice. This is what the blend is best at, and a slice of orange in the glass does it no harm at all.

  • Cold brew overnight

    Two heaping teaspoons in a pint of cold water in the fridge overnight, then strain. Less tart than the hot version, and a deeper red.

If it's not right

Too weak
Add leaf before you add time. Past five minutes black tea gets bitter, not stronger.
Too bitter
Pull it a minute earlier, or use slightly less leaf. Water temperature isn't the culprit with black tea — it wants the full boil.
