This is a loose-leaf blend, so it can be brewed in a teapot, in a cup with a strainer, or in a reusable filter. A practical starting point is about one small teaspoon of the blend per cup of hot water, but the amount depends on your taste and your cup size. Since the blend contains sagan daila, the product information recommends moderation, so it is better to start with less rather than more and adjust from there.
Use freshly boiled water and let the tea steep for 5–7 minutes before tasting. If the flavour is too light, steep it a little longer; if it becomes too dry or astringent, next time use a shorter steep or a smaller amount of leaf. The tormentil root gives the infusion a firmer, slightly astringent structure, and a long brew makes that more pronounced. Rosehips add a gentle tartness, so an over-steeped cup can lose the freshness of that fruit note.
The blend contains several plant parts with different densities, so leaves, root pieces and rosehip pieces may settle unevenly. Give the package a gentle shake or stir before measuring if it has been stored for a while. That helps each cup contain a balanced mixture of the ingredients.
