Environment Indoor / Outdoor

Steeping teas from different origins, harvests, and styles side by side — comparing colour, aroma, and taste to discover why water temperature, leaf quality, and steeping time can transform a cup entirely.

The Essentials

  • Use filtered or spring water since tap water's minerals and chlorine can mask a tea's true flavor
  • Match water temperature to the tea type: cooler for delicate green teas, near-boiling for black and herbal teas
  • Rinse the leaves briefly with hot water before the first steep to wake up rolled or compressed teas
  • Time each steep with a timer rather than guessing, since a minute too long turns tea bitter
  • Cleanse your palate with plain water or unsalted crackers between different teas
  • Smell the wet leaves and the empty cup after drinking, not just the liquid, to catch the full aroma
