Hi there,
Ever wonder why your tea tastes bitter?

It might not be the tea. It could be the way it's being brewed.

Here are a few common reasons your tea isn't tasting its best:

Delicate teas, especially green tea, can turn bitter when brewed with boiling water.

Even the best tea can lose its balance if it's left to steep past the recommended time.

Loose leaves need space to fully unfurl. The more they can expand, the more flavour they release.

 A simple tea strainer gives your leaves the room they need and makes it easy to remove them at just the right time.

And if you’re ever unsure about how long to steep or what temperature to use, we’ve also put together a simple Steeping Cheat Sheet so you can always brew your tea the right way. You can find it here:

Here’s to making every cup a little better.
