HOW TO BREW A DECENT CUP OF TEA Follow these simple guidelines
to find out what works best for you.
Use fresh tea. Tea should be kept sealed in a cool, dark and dry place
and used within six months of opening. There's just no way to make a good cup from stale tea!
Measure well. Start with a heaping teaspoon of whole leaf tea per cup or a level teaspoon of broken leaf tea and go from there. For stronger tea add more leaves, not more time, so the
brew doesn't become bitter.
Use fresh water at the proper temperature. For black and herbal teas, bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil and pour over tea in a pre-warmed pot or mug.
Cover, add a tea cozy, and set your timer for 5 minutes. If you used an infuser or a you-fill tea bag, remove the tea;
if you've brewed leaves loose in the pot, decant the tea into another warmed pot or serve it all immediately.
For green and oolong teas, use water brought to a boil and then cooled for a minute or two. Steep green teas
for 2-3 minutes, oolong teas for 3-4 minutes. Remove tea leaves or decant as above.
Settle in and enjoy!

and sprightly with subtle flowery undertones.

superior Earl Grey is blended with natural oil of bergamot for
that signature citrus finish.

Formosa Oolong Halfway between a green and a black. A coppery-hued blend with smooth

and a slight whiff of smoke.

characteristics of other popular breakfast teas. For those who want
our strongest blend.

late night cuppa. Combines floral and fruity bouquets with calming lavender notes.
