*We advise rinsing tea in the same temperature water as brewing for a few seconds before 1st infusion. This softens the leaf for brewing.
Use filtered water with a high pH of about 7-8 for optimum tasting tea. Do not use tap water.
Herbal tisanes vary but are usually brewed with boiling water for 1-2 minutes depending on preference.
PLEASE NOTE: Every tea is different and everybody’s taste is different so please use this guide as a
starting point and experiment with different parameters according to the tea and your preferences.
