HOW TO BREW LOOSE LEAF TEA

A simple process for a more flavourful cup.

  1. Measure

    Add the right amount of tea for your cup or pot.

  2. Heat

    Bring the water to the temperature that suits the tea.

  3. Steep

    Give the leaves time to open and release their flavour.

  4. Remove & Pour

    Remove or strain the leaves once the tea has reached the desired strength.

MORE LEAF, NOT MORE TIME

For a stronger cup

Add a little more tea rather than extending the steep.
