Hot Tea

• Use 1-3 teaspoon of loose leaf tea per 8 oz of water.

• Heat fresh water to the appropriate temperature:

  Herbal teas: 212°F

  Black teas: 200–212°F

  Green teas: 175–185°F

  White teas: 175–185°F

• Steep covered for:

  Herbal: 5–7 minutes

  Black: 3–5 minutes

  Green: 3-4 minutes

  White: 3–5 minutes

• Strain and enjoy.

Iced Tea

For the best flavor, we recommend the “warm bloom” cold brew method.

• Add 3 tablespoons of loose leaf tea per quart (32 oz) of warm water in a pitcher or mason jar. We just use hot water from our sink.

• Refrigerate for 8–12 hours.

• Strain and serve over ice.

Or brew hot at double strength and pour over ice for a quicker option.

Re-Steeping

Most Willow & Bloom teas can be steeped 2–3 times. Each infusion reveals new layers of flavor. Increase the steeping time by about 1–2 minutes with each additional brew.

Every cup is personal. If you prefer a stronger brew, simply add a little more tea or steep a bit longer. Loose-leaf tea is meant to be enjoyed your way.

Please check the back of your blend for specific brewing instructions.
