How To Make the Perfect Cup of Tea

 
  1. First, Pick a Tea for the Mood you are in

This depends on your mood and the time of day it is.  If caffeine doesn’t affect your sleep then you do not need a decaf tea if it is later in the day.  If it’s first thing in the morning you may want a tea with more caffeine or that has jump to it. 

There is a tea for all moods!

  1. Get your Kettle Ready, Fill with Filtered Water

Only use filtered water for the best quality and flavor out of your tea.

If you re-use old water in the kettle from the other day is ok but you do loose the   oxygen out of the water and can lose flavor in the cup.

  1. Choosing the Right Temperature & Times

If your kettle has the option, set it at the proper heating temperature for the type of tea     you are having.  Start heating your water.

100°C – (212°F) Black Tea (3-5 min), Herbal Tea (5-7 min), Yerba Mate (3-5 min)
