  • Suggested ratio for tea preparation is one teaspoon of leaves per 8 ounces of water. However, light and voluminous teas will taste best with twice the leaves. Experiment and enjoy. 

    Do not steep your tea longer than recommended or it will turn bitter. The rule of thumb is 5 minutes for most teas, and only 3 minutes for light oolong and green teas.

    Storage Guidelines: Please store in a cool area away from direct heat and light.
