What are the three most important things to know about brewing tea?
1) Preheat your teapot, to keep the boiled water hot. 2) Use filtered water in your kettle, and pour it over the leaves at a full rolling boil. 3) Time your tea carefully. Steep it for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the tea and on your personal taste. For more detailed brewing instructions, visit our tea brewing pages.
