LOOSE
LEAF
TEA
How we make a perfect cup of
Loose Leaf Tea
Tea/Water Ratio
We use a heaped teaspoon (2.0 - 2.5g) of tea per 150ml of water
Temperature
White teas and green teas are best at 70°C. For black and oolong teas we use water around 85°C. For herbal infusions we use 100°C water, and 70°C for chamomile. If you enjoy your tea with milk, we use slightly hotter water
Time
White Tea: 1 - 3 minutes. Black Tea: 45 seconds to a minute is ideal - if you want the strong tannins that blend so well with milk, try 2 - 3 minutes.
Green teas should be steeped for 1 - 2 minutes for the first infusion, and then shorter infusions after that.
Infusions
Our rare teas are of such high quality that the same leaves can be infused several times. Each time you infuse the tea different subtleties of the delicate flavours will be released.
