You are here: Home > Steeping Instructions
Our brewing instructions are based on a standardized version Chinese methods for steeping tea. If you find that your teas  taste bitter, and require milk, sugar, or lemon to counteract the bitterness, we recommend adjusting with shorter steeping times, lower temperature water, or less amount of tea leaves.

For maximum enjoyment, please follow all suggestions carefully when steeping for the first time. Afterwards, use instructions as a guideline and prepare to your particular preferred taste.

Water for Tea: Cold, clear, pure water, is recommended, and tap water, especially hard water, is to be avoided. Fresh spring water is ideal. Filtered water is also desirable. Hard water or strong tasting water will obliterate even the most delicious tea.
