Quick Brewing Guide
Water Temperature: 195°F
Leaf to Water Ratio: 1 heaping tablespoon per 16 oz
Steep Time: 3-4 minutes
Brewing Instructions
General Guide:
- Add tea leaves to a teapot, fill-your-own tea bag or infuser basket.
- Use 1 to 3 teaspoons (1 tablespoon) of leaves per cup (8 oz) of water. Adjust to taste.
- Bring fresh, cold water to a rolling boil, allow it to cool slightly, then pour water over tea leaves and cover.
- Infuse (steep) leaves between 2-5 minutes; 3½ minutes is a good average that works well for most tea types. Do not over steep or tea may become bitter. If you prefer strong tea, do not over steep; simply use more leaves.
- Remove bag or infuser from water or strain leaves. Enjoy!
Water Quality: Tea is only as good as the water used to prepare it. Avoid distilled or unfiltered tap water, which can limit tea’s flavor. Bottled spring water or filtered tap water is ideal.
Water Temperature: Most teas taste best when prepared with water around 195˚F (just below boiling) however, some teas require a lower temperature or they may become bitter.

My favorite teaThis chai is without any doubt my favorite spiced tea. The hints of vanilla and the lack of black pepper give it a smoothness that is particularly good with a bit of honey and milk. Love this!

A lighter chai, but perfect combination of flavors in the mugFor a chai, the brew is very very light amber on both steeps. Surprising for chai to be so light, but it really works with the spices here. The flavor just MELDS into perfection. The most balanced, perfect flavor combination. It's almost like a spicy sweet potato dish with marshmallow on top. It's warming, sweet, smooth. I don't really see those huge vanilla pieces in my sample that I see in the photo for the tea. The flavor has hints of vanilla but more vanilla than I expected among these spices. That crushed cardamom really comes through in the flavor. The combination of everything here is just this calming, lingering, lovely light base chai that I don't stumble across too often, so I can certainly appreciate this one. Even at much hotter temperatures, the second steep is the color of palest amber. (Though I love the brisk, dark chai too, this one is a change for the cupboard!)

Best Chai Tea I Have Tried for Making LatteIf you love chai tea latte, this could be your best bet. Try it, at least. Contents: Intro │ What I Like │ What I Don't Like │ Package │ Verdict I've tried several loose leaf chai tea leaves from Amazon, but this one from Octavia Tea, without a doubt in my mind, is the best I have tried and my favorite, especially for making latte. It has a hint of vanilla and cinammon, and it doesn't taste artificial unlike most of the other brands I have tried. I would say that this is at LEAST on par with the more expensive offerings from other brands like Teavana. For the price, this is average.WHAT I LIKE │ + │
+ Very great tasting vanilla chai tea, just add milk!
+ Dry tea leaves smell very tempting. Aroma is awesome. WHAT I DON'T LIKE │ × │
× Weird tin can shape, and thin. Makes scooping tea leaves a bit harder.
× I wish it was offered in bigger quantities. PACKAGE │ ✓ ✗ │
✓ One 3-oz. (85-g.) tea leaves in a tin can.
✗ NO other stuff you need for making tea.
VERDICT: I highly recommend this product.
★★★★★ | 5 stars out of 5. Octavia is definitely in my favorites list now.
