Brewing Guide

General Ratios

Black tea: 1 tsp per 8 oz • 200–212°F • 3–5 min

Green tea: 1 tsp per 8 oz • 170–185°F • 2–3 min

Herbal/tisanes: 1–1.5 tsp per 8 oz • 200–212°F • 5–7+ min

 

Pro Tips

Warm your mug first so heat goes to the leaves, not the cup.

Don’t squeeze the infuser—this can add bitterness.

Re-steep quality leaves 1–2 times (taste and adjust time).

Storage & Freshness

Best Practices

Store in an airtight container away from light, heat, and moisture.

Ideal spot: a cool cupboard (not over the stove).

For peak flavor, enjoy within 6–12 months of purchase (herbals often last longer if stored well).

 

Allergens & Kitchen Notes
Our teas are blended in a rented commercial kitchen space that may handle common allergens. We do not add nuts, dairy, or gluten ingredients to our tea blends, but cross-contact may be possible. Please contact us with any concerns.
