Exploring Tea Types

Brewing Tips for Tea Enjoyment

When it comes to brewing tea, there are a few key things to keep in mind. First, make sure to use fresh, filtered water and heat it to the appropriate temperature for your tea type. Black tea should be brewed at boiling temperature, while green tea and white tea should be brewed at lower temperatures to avoid bitterness. Next, measure out the appropriate amount of tea leaves for your cup or pot, usually around one teaspoon per cup. Allow the leaves to steep for the appropriate amount of time, anywhere from 2-5 minutes depending on your preferred strength and taste. And finally, enjoy your tea with or without milk, sugar, or lemon, depending on your preference.

 

Choosing the perfect tea for your taste palate is all about exploring and trying new things. With Genuine Tea's Loose Leaf Collection, you can embark on a tea adventure that will tantalize your taste buds and satisfy your soul. Whether you're a black tea lover, a green tea enthusiast, a white tea devotee, or an herbal tea connoisseur, we have something for everyone. So sit back, relax, and savour the warm, soothing comfort that only a cup of tea can bring.
