Tea Brewing Tips

Generally speaking, loose-leaf tea brewed in a tea pot or cup infuser will taste the best. Here are some guidelines to get you started.

Step 1 - Use one heaping teaspoon of tea per 6-8 oz. of water.
Step 2 - Start with cold filtered water and heat it to just below the boiling point. Black tea actually doesn’t mind boiling water, but green and herbal teas don’t like it so hot. The leaves actually get cooked, which makes them taste, well, kind of dull and cooked.
Step 3 - Warm your tea pot or mug with a hot water rinse so the tea doesn’t immediately cool while steeping.
Step 4 – Cover the tea with the water and let it steep (1-4 minutes for green, 3-5 minutes for black and 10-15 minutes for herbal). The long steep time on herbal blends is especially important to ensure proper infusion of all the healthy good bits. For green and black teas, the main rule is to not over-steep since they are known to turn bitter and nasty in no time.
