Steeping Instructions for Flowering Herbal Teas

  • Place one Flowering Herbal Tea in a durable glass teapot. (Remove strainer)
  • Bring water to a boil and pour over tea. Behold the magic of the unfolding tea leaves. Allow to steep 2-3 minutes, to desired strength.
  • After enjoying the first pot, a Flowering Tea may be re-steeped 2-3 more times.
Steeping Instructions for Herbal Loose Teas
  • Pre-warm teapot and cup with hot water. This helps the tea from scorching. Use fresh spring or filtered water for best tea tasting results. Follow steeping guidelines below for each Tea or Herbal Teasan.
  • When steeped in hot water, tea leaves release their taste, color, then tannin. Tannin is a natural component of tea. When released, tannin makes tea taste bitter or astringent. Tannin is released from steeped tea leaves after 2-4 minutes if the tea is green; after 5-7 minutes if tea is white; after 3-5 minutes if tea is black or oolong. Tea should be decanted into teacups after appropriate time so that leaves do not remain in hot water and tannin does not affect the fine taste of tea.
