How to Brew Loose Leaf Tea Like a Pro

There’s something magical about brewing loose leaf tea — the aroma, the flavor, the ritual. But it’s easy to oversteep or underbrew, especially if you're new to the world of premium teas.

☕ Here’s your quick-start guide to brewing loose leaf tea like a pro:

1. Choose the right tools:
Use a stainless-steel strainer, tea basket, or reusable muslin bag. Avoid tiny mesh balls for larger leaves.

2. Use the right ratio:
1 tsp per 8 oz cup is standard — but some teas, like white or herbal blends, need a bit more.

3. Watch your water temp:

• Green tea: 160–175°F

• Black tea: 195–205°F

• Herbal: boiling

4. Don’t oversteep:
Check your label or try:

• Green: 1–2 min

• Black: 3–4 min

• Herbal: 5–7 min

🌿 Pro tip: Our Sunset Spice and Crimson Cozy blends are naturally sweet and forgiving if you steep a little long.
