sun1.jpgSome helpful hints for a tea-riffic (sorry) morning:

  • A typical cup of tea is 5.5 fluid ounces, and should be brewed with 2 grams of tea leaves.
  • Water should come to a full boil for black tea, but should be allowed to cool for a moment before pouring over green tea leaves.
  • Never use hot tap water to brew tea, always heat tea water on a stove.
