CUP AND KETTLE'S GUIDE TO BREWING THE PERFECT CUP OF TEA
Black/Maté: Water just to boiling - pour over leaves - steep 3-5 mins
Oolong: Water to 180 degrees - pour over leaves - steep 2-3 mins
Green: Water to 180 degrees - pour over leaves - steep 2-3 mins
White: Water to 180 degrees - pour over leaves - steep 2-3 mins
Herbal: Water just to boiling - pour over leaves - steep 5-7 mins
Use approx. 1 tsp. of leaves per 6-8 ounces of water (it can be up to 2 tsp. for herbal and white teas due to less density)
You will find many differences in recommended temps and times for steeping tea
Steeping tea longer does not make it stronger. Steeping longer can result in a bitter cup of tea
For iced tea, brew double strength (2 tsp/cup), cool, pour over equal amount of cold water/ice
