Teas: Discover the Taste of Tradition in Our Online Store
Are you looking for teas that combine rich flavors and aromas with tradition? Our online store offers a wide selection of top-quality fermented and non-fermented teas – from classic black to unique herbal blends. We have prepared an offer that refers to the tradition of serving tea in 19th-century Kraków salons – places where inspiring conversations flowed along with hot, aromatic tea. You will find here exceptional combinations of teas with flowers and fruits, as well as unique fruit and herbal teas that will transport you to a world of flavors that the legendary Professor's wife, Mrs. Rydlowa, could have enjoyed.
Why is black tea a unique classic?
Black tea is one of the most popular infusions in the world. Its strong, expressive taste results from the fermentation process, which gives the leaves a dark color and a deep, intense aroma. Black tea goes perfectly with many additives, such as rose petals or bergamot, which further enrich its taste.
In our store, you will find various varieties of black tea. One of our recommended teas is Salon Earl Grey– a classic black tea with the addition of bergamot and cornflower, which combines elegance with a light note of refreshment. The exceptional taste of this tea would certainly have been appreciated by Mrs. Rydlowa herself, serving it in her salon during long, inspiring meetings.
What is the secret behind the uniqueness of green tea?
Green tea is known for its health properties. Thanks to a process in which the leaves are only slightly oxidized, green tea retains many antioxidants and nutrients. In our store, you will find green tea blends with subtle fruity notes that are wonderfully refreshing and energizing.
One of our recommended green teas is Cherry Orchard Tea– a non-fermented tea with rose petals and dried cherries. This infusion perfectly combines the delicate taste of green tea with the intense sweetness of cherries, creating a blend that will satisfy both lovers of the classics and those who are looking for fruity notes in an infusion.
Which blend of teas from the Krakowski Kredens offer should you choose for evening meetings?
Most of the tea compositions we offer are an excellent choice for evening meetings and a moment of relaxation, but the Tea for Long Evenings, with the addition of orange peel, cinnamon bark, rose petals, and hazelnut, deserves special attention – it is an ideal proposal for long autumn and winter evenings when you are looking for a warming and aromatic drink.
Legend has it that the tea served during afternoon meetings at Mrs. Rydlowa's was always excellent, and her salon attracted distinguished figures. Today, thanks to blends such as Tea for Long Evenings, you can feel the atmosphere of those times and long, passionate discussions while enjoying a unique taste.
Why is it worth drinking herbal teas?
Herbal teas do not contain caffeine, which makes them an excellent choice for relaxation and rest, especially in the evening. The herbs used in our blends are natural ingredients that can support health and improve well-being. An example of an exceptional herbal tea is Tea with a Note of Respite, full of lemongrass, lemon balm, verbena, marigold, and mint. It is a delicate composition that will soothe the senses and help you relax after a long day.
Why are our fruit teas so tasty?
Fruit teas are a perfect alternative for people who are looking for naturally sweet flavors, devoid of caffeine. Our fruit teas are full of dried fruits often preserved whole or in large pieces – these are what give the infusions their unique intensity and aroma.
One of our unique products is Health Tea, which combines elderberry, black currant, freeze-dried raspberry, blueberry, and rose petals. This fruit drink is not only tasty but also full of ingredients that support immunity, which makes it an ideal choice for cold days.
How do fermented teas differ from non-fermented ones?
The fermentation process is a key stage in the production of many teas, such as black tea, which gives them their characteristic, strong taste. In fermented tea, chemical changes occur that enrich the aroma and intensify the color of the infusion. For comparison, green tea is unfermented, which gives it a more delicate taste.
Our black tea Rose Garden, fermented with the addition of rose petals, perfectly reflects the richness of taste that the fermentation process brings. In turn, green teas, such as Cherry Orchard Tea, retain the natural aromas of the leaves, which, combined with fruit, create a unique composition.
What are the health benefits of drinking green tea?
Green tea is known for its high content of antioxidants, which can support the body in fighting free radicals and delay aging processes. A green tea infusion is mild, yet full of valuable nutrients that positively affect health.
By choosing a green tea from our offer – Cherry Orchard Tea, you gain a drink with refreshing and health-supporting properties. The subtle combination of green tea with dried fruits is a proposal for people who want to derive the best from nature.
Which additives go best with black tea?
Black tea, thanks to its intensity, perfectly matches many additives that enrich its taste and aroma. Popular additives include citrus fruits, such as orange peel, flower petals, and spices like cinnamon.
An example of a tea with an exceptional composition is our Tea for Long Evenings, in which you will sense notes of orange, rose, and hazelnut. Such a combination is an excellent choice for cool evenings when you desire a warming, full-flavored infusion.
Why is it worth reaching for Krakowski Kredens teas?
Teas inspired by tradition refer to old rituals and ceremonies. In the 19th century, tea was not only a drink but also a symbol of social gatherings, the exchange of ideas, and inspiration. We strive to restore such an atmosphere and spirit through our products, which combine classic flavors with a modern approach to quality.
Our Salon Earl Greywith bergamot and cornflower, inspired by a classic English blend, is a perfect example of a tea that could have been served in the salons of old Kraków.
How to brew teas to preserve the fullness of their taste and aroma?
The method of brewing tea is crucial for obtaining the full taste and aroma of the infusion. Black teas are best brewed at a temperature of about 95°C for 3-5 minutes, while green teas at a lower temperature, about 80°C, to avoid bitterness.
Today, just as in the past, it is important that brewing tea is a moment of peace and celebration. By pouring a spoonful of your chosen tea into your favorite cup and pouring hot water over it, you can forget about everyday life for a moment and enjoy a moment full of aromas.
The range of fermented and non-fermented teas from Krakowski Kredens, from black and green to herbal and fruit, is unique – it is a return to the traditions and rituals of old times. Thanks to our blends, you can travel back in time to the salon of Mrs. Rydlowa, where every pouring of tea was a small ceremony, and the aroma of the infusion enveloped guests and put them in a mood of reflection.
