RECIPE • 5 Steps to Brew the Perfect Pot

A question we are often asked at Monista Tea Co. is "how do you brew the perfect pot of tea?" These five simple steps will show you how to make a really great pot of tea. Why not try it this weekend?

1. Pre-Warm Your Tea Pot

Warm your teapot with hot water. Leave it to sit for a few minutes, then tip the water out. This will ensure your pot of tea remains hot.

2. Add Your Loose Leaf Tea

Add your loose leaf tea to the warmed tea pot — one teaspoon per person and one for the pot!

3. Brewing Your Tea

Boil your kettle to the required temperature. Remember to fill your kettle with cold water as it contains more oxygen — higher oxygen levels help raise the flavour of the tea. Pour the water into the pot and steep for 3–5 minutes.

4. Rock Your Teapot

Gently rock your teapot from side to side to ensure a well-balanced blend.

5. Your Tea, Your Way

Tea is highly personal. Everyone has a favourite mug or cup and a way they drink their tea. The important thing is to enjoy every sip of your beautifully brewed loose leaf tea.
