Steeping

Tea should be properly stored in a air-tight container, and preferably one which keeps out sunlight. Our tea tins have a hinged lid that closes tightly

These simple, modern containers can keep your tea fresh for longer than bags, can be stacked to keep your stash organized, and bought in a color to match your kitchen, or the inside of the locked cupboard where you hide your teas, in case of burglary by thieves with good taste. If you're looking for more reasons to tin your teas, check out the blog post dedicated to just that: http://bit.ly/291E2rY

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.

Tea Type	Steeping Temperature	Steeping Time
White Tea	170-185 F	1-3 minutes
Green Tea	170-185 F	2-3 minutes
Oolong Tea	170-190 F	2-3 minutes
Black Tea	200-212 F	3-5 minutes
Tisanes	212 F	4-7 minutes

Fruit and herbal teas are also referred to as tisanes.

Great Product!

I love the Hinged Tea Tins! They're so much easier to scoop from rather than from the bag, and they stack very nicely on a shelf. If you're organized, you can use the colors to differentiate between types of teas.

Thanks Sue! I'm a fan of all the characteristics you mentioned plus, because the tin is hinged, the top can't be misplaced.
