Additional Info
Basic Brewing Instructions:
- Black tea benefits from a 10-15 second rinse with the same temperature water as used for brewing. This primes the leaf and warms the pot, helping to keep the water hot enough to coax the flavor out in your first steep.
- 208˚ F water temperature. (Just below boiling.)
- Use 1 teaspoon per 8oz. of filtered water
- Recommended first steeping of 1minute. Add 1 minute for each subsequent steeping up to 5 minutes.
- Alternately, try one long steeping of 3-5 minutes.
- Tea brewing is meant to be a joyful exploration. There are no hard and fast rules. Experiment with the quantity of tea that you use, and steeping times. Enjoy discovering what your preferences are. They may change day to day.
