Use the Best Tea

The quality of your tea has a significant impact on the taste of your brewed tea. At Genuine Tea, we offer the best quality tea that you can find on the market, our Orange Pekoe Black Tea is not an exemption, It is a high-quality black tea blend that has a unique bold flavour. When making tea, it is important to use loose leaf tea instead of tea bags. Loose leaf tea will give you a better flavour and aroma because the tea leaves can expand more freely. Also, Always store your tea in a cool and dry place to keep it fresh.


Get the Right Water Temperature

To get the perfect cup of tea, the water temperature plays a crucial role. The ideal water temperature for brewing Orange Pekoe Black tea is 100Ā°C! But if you don't have a thermometer, simply boil the water and let it sit for a couple of minutes before adding it to your tea. Always make sure your water is clean and fresh, as stale water could affect the taste of your tea.


Time it Right

The rule of thumb when it comes to brewing tea is 2-3 minutes. But this rule can vary depending on the tea variety. Genuine Tea gives a recommendation, for a good cup of black tea, steep for 3-5 mins. Steeping the tea for too long can make it too strong and bitter, while steeping too shortly could make it too weak. The best way to find out is to experiment with the steeping time and find what works best for you.


Use the Proper Tools

To brew the perfect cup of tea, you need the right tools. Using a tea infuser can help you create an ideal mixture by allowing the tea leaves plenty of room for expansion. Genuine Tea provides tea accessories, that can make your tea brewing process that much easier. Measure out your tea leaves using ourĀ tea scoop, and the lid that seals shut your tea infuser will help keep your tea warm.
