  • Place 1 tsp of loose tea leave into your teapot. Take a very small amount of hot water (about 0.5oz), mix it around the teapot for about 5 seconds and then dispose of the water. This is to clean the tea leaves from any unwanted residue.

  • Next, take your 8 oz of your boiling water and wait for the temp to adjust to the type of tea you're brewing. Once target temp is reached, pour it in your teapot and let it steep according to chart above.
