How to Brew Loose-Leaf Green Tea

1. Put one level teaspoon or more to taste directly into the pot
2. Pour on hot water (not boiling!) and brew one to three minutes, or to taste**
3. Pour the tea through a strainer into a cup and drink up!

You can also use an infuser in a cup or pot. Put the leaves in the infuser, pour on the water, and brew. Remove the infuser with the spent leaves and enjoy your tea.

**If you have never tried green tea before, it is better to err on the side of UNDER brewing, say a minute, then taste. Continue to brew longer as desired.

    Our Tips for Making a Great Tasting Green Tea

1. For optimal flavor, use regular, fresh, filtered or spring water. Soft water and 100% sodium-free water do not generate the best taste.
2. Bring the water to a complete boil (100°C or 212°F) then cool down to about 85-95°C or 185°F. (You may also just heat the water to 85-95°C or 185°F.
3. Use 1g green tea (the sample bag contains 4g) per 12 oz (350 ml) water. Or for smaller quantities, use 0.4g green tea and 2 oz (60 ml) water.
4. Our tea is of such high quality, that two or three rich-tasting refills are possible.
5. When refilling, leave a little bit of tea water in the cup.
6. Store unused tea in our convenient re-closable bag, away from direct sunlight and heat.
