Tea Brewing Guide
Every Forever Leaves blend has its own personality. Select your tea and preferred brewing method below to discover the perfect cup every time.
The right water temperature unlocks the full potential of your tea. Green and white teas shine at gentler heat—too hot and delicate flavors fade. Black and herbal teas thrive with hotter water, extracting bold character and wellness benefits. Precise temperature preserves the aroma, flavor, and beneficial compounds that make each cup worth savoring.
Green tea can create 2 to 3 infusions.
Oolong tea produces 3 to 5 infusions.
White tea yields 2 to 4 infusions.
Black tea typically allows 1 to 2 infusions.
Herbal tea can be steeped 1 to 2 times.
Each infusion develops different flavors, revealing new notes and complexity as the leaves continue to unfold. The first steep often brings bright, forward flavors, while subsequent infusions may unveil deeper, more subtle characteristics unique to each tea type.
1 teaspoon per 8 ounce cup. Use 2 teaspoons for stronger flavor. Adjust to personal taste.
Store in an airtight container away from moisture and strong odors. Do not refrigerate.
