How should I store loose-leaf tea?
To help preserve freshness and flavor, loose-leaf tea should be stored in an airtight jar, zippered plastic bag, or container. Keep tea away from moisture, sunlight, or foods with strong flavors or fragrances.
What is the best way to make loose-leaf tea?
Steeping (or soaking) loose-leaf tea in hot water helps soften the tea leaves and bring out the tea's flavor and healthy ingredients. The best way to steep tea depends on your preference. You can put your tea leaves in a small strainer, pour the hot water over the top, and allow the tea to steep for several minutes. Or you can buy a tea ball. This is a round gadget with holes designed for steeping tea. Simply open the ball, load the tea in, close it, and drop it into a cup or mug filled with hot water.
How much loose-leaf tea should I use?
When using an infuser like a strainer or tea ball, start with about one heaping teaspoon per cup. You can adjust the amount of tea as needed.
