Drinking Tea Begins with Brewing Tea
by The Minister of Fire & Water
Preparing Hot Tea
|
|
 Fill the kettle with fresh, cold water and heat to a rolling boil (almost to boiling for green tea).
Warm the teapot by swirling steamy water inside it. Pour it out.
|
 |
|
 Measure out about 1 level teaspoon (approximately two grams) of tea per cup. Place into the teapot or infusing basket.
|
|
|
 Pour the water over the leaves, cover, and infuse to taste -- on average 3 to 5 minutes. Most green teas require a brief infusion, about 2 to 3 minutes; black and herb teas brew a bit longer, about 4 to 5 minutes.
|
|
|
 Remove the infuser or use a strainer for the leaves. Pour into a cup and enjoy Sip by Sip.

|
"Even in a perfect cup there exists a hollow. It is the emptiness within it that makes it perfect. Without it how would we drink the tea?"

Preparing Iced Tea
|
|
Fill the kettle with fresh, cold water and heat to a rolling boil (almost to boiling for green tea).
|
|
|
Measure two level teaspoons of tea per cup. Place into the teapot or infusing basket, into the Little Dipper mesh infuser, or into the built-in infuser of our full leaf tea mug.
|
|
|
Pour the water over the leaves, cover, and infuse to taste - on average 3 to 5 minutes. Most green teas require only a brief infusion, 1 to 3 minutes; black and herb teas brew a bit longer.
|
|
|
 Remove the infuser. Allow the tea to cool to room temperature. Serve over ice.
