brewing instructions

warm your teapot or cup

Pour hot water into your teapot or cup to preheat it, swirl around, then pour out the water. This ensures that your tea stays warm during the brewing process.

Measure the Tea Leaves

Use about 1 teaspoon of loose Ruby Oolong tea leaves for every 8 oz (240 ml) of water. This can be adjusted based on how strong you prefer your tea.

Heat Your Water

Bring fresh, filtered water to about 90-95°C (194-203°F). Ruby Oolong should not be brewed with fully boiling water, as it can damage the nuanced flavors of the tea.

Steep Your Tea

Add the tea leaves to your teapot or a tea infuser and pour the hot water over the leaves. Steep for 3-5 minutes. Taste at 3 minutes to determine if the desired strength has been reached, and leave in for longer if you prefer a bolder flavor.

Enjoy Your Tea

Once your tea has reached the preferred strength, remove the tea leaves. Pour the Ruby Oolong into your cup and delight in its distinctive taste and aromatic pleasure. For the finest quality, fresh leaves should be used for each brewing.
