Brewing Guide

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients and Tools

Every great potion requires the finest ingredients and tools. For your tea-brewing quest, you will need:

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.
