Steeping Tips
- Take care not to poor boiling water over your tea. Boiling water will scorch the tea leaves.
- Use fresh, cold water. The quality of water will affect the taste of your tea.
- Use a strainer or infuser basket to steep your tea rather than a tea ball or clamping spoon. This gives room for the whole leaf tea and herbals to expand and fully infuse.
- Remove the tea from the water after the designated steeping time. Over steeped tea, or stewed tea, will create a bitter tasting brew.
- For a stronger tasting brew, simply add more tea to your strainer or infuser basket before steeping.
- Always remove tea leaves from water to prevent the tea from becoming bitter.

I love this tea. The jasmine flavor is very aromatic and quite strong and I find it to make a very soothing and energizing cup of tea. You don’t need much for a cup or pot. I actually count out the pearls to be sure that I’m not wasting it. It is expensive but I don’t care because of the quality.
