Brewing it right takes three steps

The ritual

Brewing it right takes three steps

  1. 1

    Heat the water

    185°F to 205°F depending on the tea — never a rolling boil for greens and oolongs.

  2. 2

    Steep patiently

    3 to 5 minutes in the fine-mesh infuser. Less time, a softer flavor.

  3. 3

    Pour and enjoy

    With our double-walled glass Tea for Two set, you can watch the color bloom as it steeps.
