Tea Brewing Tips
• Use Fresh or bottled water whenever possible. Water quality is important to the flavor of the tea.
• For black teas, bring the water to a full rolling boil, but do not over-boil the water. For green teas, bring the water just to the boiling point (steaming.)
• Warm your teapot with a little hot water and decant before adding the leaves and hot water to the pot (optional.)
• Add one level teaspoon of tea leaves for every cup of water. Tea strainers and infusing baskets may be used, or the leaves may be added directly to the pot.
• Steep full black leaves four to five minutes. Steep delicate green teas and smaller leaf teas for three minutes.
• Experiment with brewing times and the amount of tea leaves used to adjust to your own taste.
