How should I brew this loose-leaf tea to get the best results?

For the best flavor, use a teapot or an infuser basket that gives the large leaf and plant pieces enough room to expand. Start with about one teaspoon (2-3 grams) of the loose blend per 250 ml (one cup) of water. Bring fresh water to a boil, then let it cool for 10-20 seconds before pouring over the leaves; water just off the boil is ideal for black tea bases without scalding delicate herbal notes.

Steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer your tea. You can taste it after 3 minutes and decide if you want to let it steep longer. A key feature of this blend is that it often brews well a second time. After your first cup, you can add more hot water to the same leaves for a second infusion, which tends to be milder and reveal different subtleties.

Like any high-quality tea, store it in a sealed container away from light, moisture, and strong odors to preserve its aroma.
