Tea bags or loose leaf: find your way to brew

Some days, a tea bag is all you need. On others, spooning loose tea into an infuser is part of the pleasure. The ingredients matter either way; choose the format that suits the way you like to make a cup.

Tea bags, ready when you are

Choose 12 or 24 corn-fibre tea bags on your tea’s product page. Both formats come in a Tea Tube. Follow the brewing directions for the ingredient you have chosen, then adjust the steep to your taste.

Loose leaf, your way

For loose leaf, an infuser keeps the leaves together while the water takes on their flavour. Add your tea, close the infuser and place it in your cup. Use the quantity and steeping instructions on the tea’s label.

A spoonful to start

A teaspoon makes it easy to measure your loose tea. Flowers, seeds and chopped roots fill a spoon differently, so start with your tea’s own instructions. Make your next cup a little lighter or bolder if you prefer.

A little sweetness, if you like

Prefer a sweeter cup? Stir in a little sugar and taste before adding more. A crystal stick makes a simple stirrer, too. It is entirely optional: try the tea on its own first and see what you enjoy.

The finishing touches

A cup, an infuser and a favourite spoon are enough to make a small routine of it. Keep the pieces together, ready for the next time you put the kettle on.
