Directions
Pre-warm teapot and cup with hot water. This helps the tea from scorching.
Use fresh spring or filtered water for best tea tasting results.
Follow steeping guidelines below for each Tea or Herbal Teasan.
When steeped in hot water, tea leaves release their taste, color, then tannin.
Tannin is a natural component of tea. When released, tannin makes tea taste
bitter or astringent. Tannin is released from steeped tea leaves after 2-4 minutes
if the tea is green; after 5-7 minutes if tea is white; after 3-5 minutes if
tea is black or oolong. Tea should be decanted into teacups after appropriate
time so that leaves do not remain in hot water and tannin does not affect the
fine taste of tea. Herbal Teasans contain no tannin and may remain in hot water
without their taste being altered.
FOR FLOWERING TEAS:
The Beginning: Place one Flowering Tea in a durable glass
teapot. (Remove strainer)
The Suspense: Bring water to a boil and pour over tea. Behold
the magic of the unfolding tea leaves. Allow to steep 2-3 minutes, to desired
strength.
The Pleasure: After enjoying the first pot, a Flowering Tea
may be re-steeped 2-3 more times.
