Brewing tea is an art of itself. It has been cherished for centuries and many books have been published on the subject. Here's a quick guide to preparing a perfect cup of tea.

Black tea: 212F for 5 minutes

Green tea: 180F for 2-3 minutes

Oolong tea: 190F for 4 minutes.

Use 1-1.5 teaspoons dry tea for every 6 oz (3/4 cups) of water.

1. Put tea in a teapot, then pour hot water over tea and allow it to steep.
2. Strain the brew to remove the leaves.

Black tea can be infused only once.

Tea leaves are sensitive to air, odors, extreme temperatures and moisture. Store in a stainless steel or aluminum container away from heat or sunlight.
