How to Make a Great Cup of Tea

In order to have a great cup of tea you need to have the following steps at a high level of excellence. If any of these steps are not excellent, then you will end up with an OK cup of tea or maybe even a lousy cup of tea:

1. Use only great tea. There is a lot of bad tea out there in the world and very little great tea.
2. Use great water free of chlorine or sulfur.
3. Use a great filter system such as our Finum Permanent Filter Basket or our Victoria Tea Strainer.
4. Use the correct water temperature. Never microwave the water.
5. Time your tea accurately.

Brewing Basics

1. Bring fresh filtered water to a full boil for black teas, herbals and some oolongs. Use less than boiling water for whites, greens, and some oolongs.
2. Using a teaspoon, measure one level teaspoon of loose tea for each 6 ounce cup desired.
3. Pour prepared water over tea, steep according to the brewing instructions below, and enjoy!
