An awesome tip I got was to use fresh water when brewing tea - so don't boil the same water in the kettle multiple times - the more you boil it, the less oxygen stays there which impacts the flavour. So always use fresh water to boil for your new cuppa - it's a subtle difference but important esp. if you are into specialty teas where these nuances matter
Follow the instructions in the packaging and make sure the water temperature and the steep time are right. You can have the best and most delicious tea in the world if you dont steep it right it will taste horrible. If a tea doesn't taste right, it is likely that it wasn't steeped properly.
This is a very important question, the secret to a great cuppa is infusion (brewing).
Brewing really depends on the type of tea you have. The rule of thumb is that you use either hot or cold water and let it steep for the right amount of time in the right temperature. Time and temperature are key.
Generally most black teas will require boiling hot water with a steep time ranging from 1-5min.
Temperature and steeping time are very important for green teas. Depending on the tea variety it usually needs 70-95 degrees with a steeping time between 1-10min. We suggest to start with a short steep, taste it, and increase the steeping time by 30 seconds, until you like the taste.
Herbal teas generally like boiling hot water and a longer steeping time.
For iced tea depending on the tea type you either start with boiling hot water and let the beverage cool down, or you can steep in cold water.
