The aroma, flavor, texture and taste of a tea depends largely on how it's infused. Just as there are vast differences in taste, the possibilities and variations in tea brewing are also limitless. Water and tea leaves can create a world of peace and calm in an instant, or revitalize you to be present in the moment.
The following brewing instructions are the general guidelines we recommend for the majority of our teas. There are many teas with "sweet spot" times that we will gladly share with you when we send you your order. Tea is too inspiring not to be savored in your favorite way. Cheers!
