Brewing the Perfect Cup of Tea

These are general guidelines, experiment until the tea is made to your satisfaction. Don’t overbrew or the tea will become bitter. Don’t forget that the smaller the leaf, the faster the tea brews.

1. Fill Kettle with fresh, cold water. Bring to a boil.(Note: For green and white teas bring to a preboil)
   
2. Preheat teapot by swirling hot water around your teapot, then discard water. This keeps your brewing water from dropping in temperature when it is poured in your teapot.
   
3. Place 1 teaspoon of tea per cup in teapot, tea filter, or infuser.
   
4. Pour prepared water over leaves and brew or steep as follows:
   
   • White Tea: 4-6 minutes
   • Green Tea: 2-3 minutes
   • Oolong Tea: 4-6 minutes
   • Black Tea: 3-5 minutes
     
5. Remove tea leaves and enjoy.
