Quick Brewing Guide
Water Temperature: 195°F
Leaf to Water Ratio: 1 tablespoons 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.
Iced Tea: To make fresh iced tea, use twice as much tea to account for dilution by ice. Hot Brew: follow directions above, allow tea to cool, and add ice. Cold Brew: pour fresh, cold water over tea leaves, cover, and refrigerate 8 hours.

A fantastic Ceylon black!The leaves don't really look like the photo - mine are much shorter and no gold... I'm not one for Ceylon, but his one is robust and full of flavor (what I don't usually expect from Ceylon). It's almost like an Assam in flavor profile. Strong, brassy, malty. The second steep is brisk. I'm glad I only used one teaspoon. Flavors of bread turn into thick rye bread when cooled, maybe a bit of red wine with a hint of dried hay. Definitely a Ceylon black I really like!
