Suggested Preparation Method

Per 1 cup (250ml) water

1 teaspoon (2 grams) of tea

Water Temperature

95 – 99°C

Steep time

3 – 10 minutes

For a teapot (500-600ml), use 1-2 teaspoons (2-4 grams) of Tea in a loose-leaf tea infuser and place the lid on top for steeping.

Some packaging includes silica gel (desiccant) packet, DO NOT EAT them, do NOT place them in water with tea, they are there to keep the tea fresh. You may keep them with the packaging or discard them after opening the tea bag. We would recommend keeping them in with the loose tea as opening and closing the packaging causes moisture to enter, this will keep the tea fresh & dry. Be advised they could also be a choking hazard for small children.
