Brewing Tips
Brewing Tips
Use proper steep time and temperature to avoid bitterness and maintain clarity. Brew with freshly boiled water at 212°F and steep for 5-7 minutes. For a smoother, less tart cup, add a touch of honey or agave while the tea is still hot. Use a glass or ceramic teapot to watch the beautiful ruby color develop. Explore proper steeping techniques in our tea brewing guide.
