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.
