How to Brew the Perfect Cup

Great tea isn’t just about the leaves. It’s about the ritual. Follow these simple steps:

1. Use Fresh, Filtered Water
   Avoid tap flavours that dull the brew.
2. Mind the Temperature
   – Green teas: 70–80°C
   – Black and oolongs: 90–100°C
   – Herbal infusions: near boiling
3. Measure Accurately
   One teaspoon (2–3g) per 250ml cup.
4. Steep with Patience
   – Green: 2–3 minutes
   – Black: 3–5 minutes
   – Herbal: 5–7 minutes
5. Use a Quality Infuser
   Wide mesh or a blossoming tea pot for full leaf expansion.

Treat brewing as a moment of mindfulness. Pour, inhale, and savour.
