LOOSE LEAF HOT TEA
Early/Mid/Late Spring Green Tea, Oolong, Black Tea, Morning Citrus, Berry Brûlée, English Cottage, Sunday Brunch, Sweet Sorbet, Rose Green, Lavender Green, Peppermint Green, Spearmint Green
DIRECTIONS:
- Boil water + let cool to the correct temperature (see chart at the bottom).
- Place 1 heaping Tablespoon (4g) tea leaves into a small teapot.
- Pour 1 cup (240mL) water over the tea leaves.
- Let steep for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour the tea over a strainer into a cup.
Leaves can be brewed 3+ times.
If you don't have a food thermometer:
Bring 2-3 cups water to a full boil, then immediately cool with the lid off for a few minutes.
*Never pour boiling hot water over green tea leaves. It will bring out too much bitterness, plus this "cooks" the tea leaves rather than drawing out the beautiful flavors and benefits.

LOOSE LEAF COLD BREW - SINGLE INGREDIENT TEA

DIRECTIONS:
- Add 2 Tablespoons (7-8g) tea leaves to 16oz. room temperature or cold water and seal well.
- Let steep in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Give it a taste and if you'd like it stronger, check after another 30 minutes.
