Suggested ratio is one teaspoon of leaves per cup of water. However, the light and voluminous teas will taste best with twice that amount.
To steep your tea:
Use boiling water when preparing black, dark oolong and herbal teas.
Use cooler water (under the boiling point) when steeping green, light oolong and white teas.
Steeping time is:
3-5 minutes for most black teas
5-7 minutes for dark oolong, herbal, rooibos and white teas
3 minutes for green and light oolong teas
DO NOT over-steep or your tea will taste bitter.
