It is essential to steep your tea for the correct time to bring out all of its qualities. Brewing times vary between 10 seconds and 20 minutes, and are determined by the chemical components of each tea. For example, an Oolong can be brewed for a long time, and even several times. On the other hand, a Japanese green tea should never be steeped for longer than two minutes. In reality, what is more important than a rule is to know about the type of tea. For the perfect tasting experience, we suggest you following the indications on our packaging. To avoid leaving your tea to brew for too long, we suggest the use of the electronic timer.
