The Perfect Brew: Tips for Flavored Teas
To fully appreciate the nuances of our flavored teas, follow these brewing guidelines:
- Water Temperature: Use water just off the boil (95°C/203°F) for black tea blends, and slightly cooler (80°C/176°F) for green tea blends.
- Steeping Time: Generally, steep for 3-5 minutes. Adjust to taste, but be careful not to over-steep, which can result in bitterness.
- Measurements: Use about 1 teaspoon of tea per cup (250ml) of water. Adjust for stronger or weaker brews.
- Additions: While many of our flavored teas are delightful on their own, feel free to experiment with honey, lemon, or a splash of milk to suit your taste.
Pro Tip: For iced flavored tea, brew it at double strength and pour over ice to prevent dilution.
