Brewing the perfect cup of tea is an art that combines the right balance of temperature, steeping time, and personal taste.

Discover the key elements to creating a cup that suits your preferences, from choosing the right tea leaves to mastering steeping techniques for the ideal flavor. Let’s explore how to make your perfect tea, one that delights your senses with every sip.

Brewing Darjeeling tea perfectly is important to bring out the unique and delicate flavors of this highly prized tea. Darjeeling tea is known for its floral and fruity notes, as well as its subtle astringency. When brewed correctly, Darjeeling tea can provide a truly enjoyable and uplifting tea-drinking experience. The correct brewing time and temperature can make all the difference in the taste and aroma of the tea.

The perfect brewing of Chai, a popular Indian spiced tea, is important as it can greatly impact the taste and flavor of the final product. The right brewing time, water temperature, and proportion of ingredients can make a huge difference in the quality of the Chai. Proper brewing can bring out the flavors of the spices used in the tea and create a well-balanced cup. Overbrewing or underbrewing can result in a bitter or weak tea, respectively.

Herbal teas are often consumed for their therapeutic properties, and the correct brewing method is essential to maximize their benefits. Over-brewing or under-brewing herbal tea can result in a bitter or weak flavor, respectively, and can also impact the potency of its beneficial compounds. Herbal teas are often brewed with water that is not boiling to prevent the breakdown of the plant compounds, which can occur at high temperatures.

In addition to traditional hot brewing, our teas are also perfect for enjoying as refreshing iced teas.

How to Make Iced Tea:

Fill a bottle with 1 liter of cold water.
Add 10-15 grams of loose leaf tea.
Refrigerate for 4-5 hours to steep.
Sweeten with sugar or honey to taste.
Serve over ice cubes.
