Tea Instructions

Brewing instructions from our local tea shoppe.

Bring fresh drawn cold water to a rolling boil (212') for Herbal, Black & Chai teas and between 160' - 185' for Oolong, Green, White & Darjeeling teas. 

Use approximately one teaspoon of loose tea per 8 oz. of water. One teaspoon of loose tea equals one tea bag. 

For iced tea - double amount of loose tea (2 tsp. per 8 oz. water).

Pour water over tea and steep-infuse using the following guidelines or according to personal taste.

• Black/Chai Tea - 4 minutes
• Herbal Tisanes - 5 - 7 minutes
• Green Teas - 1 - 3 minutes (can re-infuse leaves) 180' - 185' degrees water temperature
