Measurements: For every 6 to 8 ounces of water add one tea bag, a level teaspoon of tightly rolled loose tea, or a slightly rounded teaspoon of bulkier loose tea.

Procedure: Always start with fresh, cool water. Add your tea to the cup first, heat your water and steep according to the directions below.

Black Teas: Water Temperature 212 Steeping Time 5 minutes.

Green Teas: Water Temperature 185-190 Steeping Time 2 to 3 minutes.

White Teas: Water Temperature 175-180 Steeping Time 2 to 7 minutes.
