How to steep tea?
Step 1: Heat Water
Use filtered, spring or bottled water for the best taste. Fill your tea kettle with cold water and heat to a rolling boil.
Pour the hot water over the tea bag or leaves, always (not the other way around).
Step 2: Steeping
With your boiling water poured in your tea cup or teapot, you have begun to steep tea. Remember to keep your cup covered during the whole steeping process.
The purpose of steeping is to infuse the water with the tea. You can find the optimal steeping time on the product page.
Step 3: Enjoy your tea
Use a tea strainer to collect spent loose tea leaves after infusion, or remove the bag from the cup, and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
You can also add milk or syrup to give it more flavors.
Steep multiple times
Loose leaf tea can be re-steeped multiple times per cup. They will provide better taste and aroma with each steep.
You can also find the recommended steeping times on the product page.
