How do I brew a perfect cup of tea?

TEA FAQ'S ::
Start with a preheated pot or cup (simply fill your teapot or cup with very hot water and let it stand for a moment). Use fresh cold water. In areas with poor tap water, use bottled or filtered water. Never use water from the hot water tap. Let the tap water run for a few seconds until it is quite cold; this ensures that the water is aerated (full of oxygen) to release the full flavor of the tea leaves. Bring water to a rolling boil.

How should I brew my tea for the best cup?

Frequently Asked Questions
Brewing tea is more of an art than a science. There are many variables that will affect your final cup: the tea, steeping method, water quality, water temperature and time. Always start with fresh cold water. Heat the water based on the type of tea you are drinking. Generally, water for green teas should be cooler than water for black and red teas. Steeping time varies based on the tea and your taste, but 2 to 4 minutes should be the range for green and black tea bagged teas.

The only caffeinated tea we currently offer is our green tea blend, Aunty Ox. We will, however, be releasing another green tea and an organic black tea in the spring of 2007.

Can I mix more than one tea in a cup?

Triple Leaf Tea - Frequently Asked Questions
That depends on which teas you want to mix. Some of our teas like the Cold & Flu Time Tea are special Chinese formulas, which are better taken by themselves. Both the Sugar Balance & Women's Tonic Tea with Dong Quai, and the Horny Goat Weed Tea, can be used together with the American Ginseng Tea for additional benefits. We recommend using the Detox Tea by itself, or use it along with the Herbal Laxative Tea, or any of the diet teas.
