Steeping Instructions

1 teaspoon per 8 oz of water. Fluffy leaves like some Oolongs, use 2 teaspoons. For stronger tea use more tea. There is no hard and fast rules on steeping except over steeping may make tea bitter. If you are unsure, try cooler water and shorter steeping times. Below are general steeping instructions. For best results, follow the steeping instructions that came with your tea.
To estimate water temperature use a thermometer or wait a 2-3 minutes after the water stops boiling. Then the water temperature should be about 165- 185 F. You can gauge water temperature by looking at the bubbles forming at the bottom of the tea kettle. When pin size bubbles form, the water temperature is about 185F. To take the guess work out of water temperatures, try our electric tea kettle.

Organic Ginger root cut and dried. Simple and a great tea blender or by itself.

Ginger is very strong on its own, with a sharp, fresh taste. Blended into other teas, it gives them a clean, fresh kick. You may have seen this root served pickled alongside sushi, as a palate cleanser between courses.

Ginger is known for having a variety of health properties, but has an especially notable ability to soothe an upset stomach. Blend it with a green tea for a health drink full of fresh, fun flavors.
