Brewing Guide

Thank you for trying our tea! These brewing recommendations are for a cup, mug or small pot.  For a larger pot, increase the leaf and time.

1. Leaf

Use 3 grams (2 Tbsp) for a cup

2. Water

Use 90 C (195 F) water, slightly below boiling

3. Time

Brew 2-3 minutes

This artisan hand-made tea from Tanzania comes to us from an all-woman tea company. In the style of Silver Needle, this white tea is made from the unopened buds of the tea plant, but with a unique twist: the buds are carefully tied together into star shapes. The subtle flavor of the brewed tea carries a surprising sweetness.

When Brewing is finished, remove the leaves (if using an infuser) or pour all of the tea (if using a pot). Do not leave tea leaves sitting in water, getting stronger and stronger.

A Note on Water Temperature:

To achieve 80 degree water (175F), heat water until tiny bubbles just begin to form on the bottome of the kettle, and wisps of steam appear.

To achieve 90 degree water (195F), heat water until bubbles on bottom of kettle and strings of tiny bubbles begin rising to the surface.

​

As always, adjust brewing elements to your personal taste. Happy Tea Time!
