Brewing loose leaf tea is actually quite easy, you just need to follow a few simple rules. Typically you will want 3 grams of tea per 8 ounces of water. Knowing that most people don’t have a kitchen scale handy that weighs that small amount, 3 grams is approximately 1 teaspoon. Note that the 1 teaspoon rule does not work with light, very large leaf teas, like White Peony, where you will want to use 1 tablespoon. Place the tea leaves in your choice of above infuser or add them to a small pot if you plan to pour the liquid off through a strainer. Hopefully your water has been coming up to a boil while you were measuring out your tea. • Once your water has reached a boil we need to put it in the cup. However, we need to know what kind of tea you are drinking before telling you whether or not to pour the boiling water on to the tea leaves. Take a look at the chart below for guidelines on how to introduce your tea leaves to the water and for how long they should stay there. • How to Brew Loose Leaf Tea: Time, Temp, and Amount • White Tea: 170-185°F for 1-3 min 1 Tbsp. Wait 2-5 minutes before putting tea leaves into the water • Green Tea: 170-185°F for 3-5 min 1 tsp.
