Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients and Tools
Every great potion requires the finest ingredients and tools. For your tea-brewing quest, you will need:
- Loose Leaf Tea: Select your preferred Morelitea blend, be it Amani's sleepytime blend or Indie’s london fog tea.
- Teapot or Infuser: Choose a vessel that suits your style, whether it’s a classic teapot or a charming infuser.
- Fresh Water: The purity of your water can make all the difference. Use fresh, filtered water for the best results.
- Kettle: A trusty kettle to bring your water to the perfect temperature.
We have everything you need to make your first cup.
Step 2: Measure the Tea
Every blend has its own magic, and the right amount of tea is crucial to unlocking its full potential. As a general rule, use:
- 1 teaspoon of loose leaf tea per cup (8 ounces) of water.
Feel free to adjust according to your taste preferences and the strength of the blend.
Step 3: Heat the Water
Each tea type has its own preferred brewing temperature. To reveal the secrets of each blend:
- White and Green Teas: Heat water to 160-175°F (70-80°C).
- Oolong Teas: Heat water to 180-195°F (82-90°C).
- Black and Herbal Teas: Heat water to a full boil at 200-212°F (93-100°C).
Remember, the right temperature brings out the magical essence of your tea without scorching the delicate leaves.
Step 4: Steep the Tea
Now, it’s time to let your tea blend reveal its hidden wonders. Pour the hot water over the tea leaves in your teapot or infuser, and let the enchantment begin:
- White and Green Teas: Steep for 2-3 minutes.
- Oolong Teas: Steep for 3-5 minutes.
- Black and Herbal Teas: Steep for 4-7 minutes.
During this time, the tea leaves will unfurl and release their full spectrum of flavors and aromas.
Step 5: Savor the Experience
Once your tea has steeped to perfection, it’s time to savor the moment. Pour your brew into a cup, take a deep breath, and let the enchanting aromas transport you to the heart of fantasy and adventure. Each sip should be a journey, a moment of serenity and delight.
