Brewing Tips

Mastering the Steep

1. The Heat of the Pour

Water temperature drastically changes the flavor extraction of whole leaves. Boiling water burns delicate greens and whites, pulling out harsh tannins instead of sweet, nuanced notes. Always allow your kettle to rest for a few minutes before pouring over lighter blends.

2. Room to Bloom

Unlike crushed tea dust, handcrafted loose leaves need ample space to unfurl completely. Avoid tiny mesh balls that restrict expansion. Use a large infuser basket or steep freely in a teapot before straining, giving the leaves the room they need to deliver full-bodied flavor.
