How to Brew Premium Loose-Leaf Tea Like a Connoisseur

Brewing loose-leaf tea is an art—and mastering it brings out the full character of your blend. Whether you're steeping Darjeeling, oolong, or a wellness infusion, these tips will ensure a perfect cup.

  • Measure 2.5 grams of tea per cup (160 ml).

  • Steep at correct temperature:

    • White Tea: 175–180°F for 3–4 mins

    • Green Tea: 180–185°F for 3 mins

    • Oolong: 190–194°F for 3–4 mins

    • Black Tea: 194°F for 3–5 mins

  • Pour the brewed tea into your cup through a strainer.
  • Relax and enjoy your tea!

Tips for the Perfect Cup:

  • Use fresh, filtered water—never reboiled.
  • Store tea in a cool, dry, airtight container away from light and moisture.
  • Don’t squeeze the tea leaves or infuser—it can release bitterness.
  • For better taste and aroma, pre-warm your teapot or cup.
  • Try different brewing times and tea-to-water ratios to match your taste.

Avoid over-steeping to prevent bitterness. For full-bodied teas, a second infusion can reveal new layers of flavor.
