Steeping time presented below is for using 1tsp of tealeaves to make an 8oz cup of tea. We recommend boiling fresh cold water. Boiling water should be poured onto the tealeaves instead of doing the reverse of dropping the tealeaves into the water. Tealeaves should be quickly rinsed with hot water before steeping.
