5 Easy Tips for Brewing the Perfect Cup of Tea

At Treasured Tea, we believe tea is more than a drink—it’s a moment of mindfulness, flavor, and wellness all wrapped into one. Whether you’re waking up with the vibrant Ocean’s Harmony Green Tea, savoring the robust flavors of Burgundy Oak Black Tea, or indulging in the spiced warmth of Rocky’s Freedom Chai, brewing it right makes all the difference. Here are five tips to help you steep perfection into every cup.

1. Choose Premium Loose-Leaf Tea

Starting with quality tea is essential, and at Treasured Tea, we’ve got you covered. For a refreshing boost, try Ocean’s Harmony Green Tea—a vibrant blend with subtle oceanic notes and a hint of citrus. It’s packed with antioxidants to support your health while delighting your taste buds.

Prefer a bold morning brew? Go for the smoky depth of Burgundy Oak Black Tea. If a spiced chai is more your style, Rocky’s Freedom Chai offers the perfect non caffeinated mix of rooibos and warm spices.

2. Measure for the Perfect Flavor

Too much tea can overpower your cup, and too little can leave it flat. A teaspoon per cup (8 oz.) is the golden ratio.

• For lighter teas like Ocean’s Harmony Green Tea, keep it exact to enjoy its delicate flavors.
• For bold blends like Burgundy Oak Black Tea or chai blends, feel free to use a slightly heaping teaspoon for an extra punch.

3. Mind the Water Temperature

The temperature of your water can make or break your tea:

• Green tea (like Ocean’s Harmony): Use water at 170–185°F to bring out its fresh, bright notes without bitterness.
• Black teas (like Burgundy Oak): Boil away—200–212°F works best.
• Chai teas (like Rocky’s Freedom Chai): Go for 205–212°F to let the spices shine.

For green tea lovers, let your water cool for about 2 minutes after boiling to hit the perfect temp.

4. Time Your Steeping

Brewing your tea for the right amount of time ensures the best flavor:

• Green teas: 2–3 minutes to keep them crisp and refreshing.
• Black teas: 3–5 minutes for a full-bodied cup.
• Chai teas: 5–7 minutes for a spiced and satisfying experience.

For chai, consider simmering the tea in milk for a latte-style treat that’s irresistibly creamy.

5. Customize Your Cup

Tea is as versatile as your imagination.

• Add honey or agave for sweetness.
• Stir in lemon for brightness—perfect for Ocean’s Harmony Green Tea.
• Splash in milk for a classic touch to Burgundy Oak Black Tea or chai.

For an extra cozy chai experience, sprinkle a dash of cinnamon or cardamom.

Savor Every Sip

Every cup of tea is an opportunity to slow down, savor the moment, and enjoy something that’s good for your body and soul. Whether you’re drawn to the refreshing notes of Ocean’s Harmony Green Tea, the smoky elegance of Burgundy Oak Black Tea, or the warming spices of Rocky’s Freedom Chai, Treasured Tea has the perfect blend for every mood.
