Loose Leaf Tea Brew Guide

For a balanced, properly extracted cup with clarity and structure.

Use whole leaf tea. Add 2–3 grams of loose leaf tea per 8 oz of water (about 1 teaspoon). Heat fresh, filtered water to the appropriate temperature:

• Green: 160–180°F
• Oolong: 185–200°F
• Black: 200–212°F
• Herbal: 212°F

Pour water evenly over the leaves, ensuring full saturation. Steep precisely:

• Green: 2–3 minutes
• Oolong: 3–5 minutes
• Black: 3–4 minutes
• Herbal: 5–7 minutes

Strain or remove the infuser immediately after steeping. Serve at once. Adjust leaf quantity slightly for strength—do not extend steep time.
