Loose leaf tea.
Chosen by the cup.

Use about 1 teaspoon (2–3 g) per 8 oz (250 ml) cup. Steep black tea at 200–212°F (95–100°C) for 3–5 min, green tea at 170–180°F (75–80°C) for 2–3 min, and herbal tea at 212°F (100°C) for 5–7 min.

Keep it in an airtight, opaque container away from light, heat, moisture and strong smells. Most teas keep their best flavor for 12–24 months, green teas for about 6–12 months.

Herbal teas, rooibos, honeybush and most fruit blends have no caffeine. Black, green, oolong and white tea and matcha contain caffeine, and we also carry decaf options.

Yes. Many green, oolong, white and pu-erh teas can be steeped 2–4 times; add 30–60 seconds to each new infusion. Black and herbal teas usually give their best flavor in the first steep.

Loose leaf tea uses whole or large leaves that have room to unfold, so it gives a fuller, more complex flavor. Most tea bags hold small broken pieces (fannings) that brew fast but taste flatter.
