Steeping Guidelines:
Water: 176° - 196°F | Use 1 heaping teaspoon per 6 ounce cup | Infusion Time: 2 - 3 minutes; refresh cup as desired.

Infusion tips:
Use COLD filtered or spring water, whenever possible
Don’t over boil water, Don't over steep tea
Remove leaves after recommended time (adjust to taste)
*Vary time according to taste, & remember that steeping tea leaves beyond 3 minutes does not contribute to flavor, only bitterness. If you want a stronger taste, use more tea leaves instead of steeping for a longer time
