A Quick Guide on How Long to Steep Tea

I thought I would start off thanking the readers of this blog and the customers of Golden Moon Tea. Without all of you, Golden Moon would not be where it is today. It is your loyal support, passion and love of tea that really makes every day special for me. 

To help show a little bit of thanks, I have sent out this little cheat sheet on tea brewing temperatures

I originally designed it to be a kitchen magnet, but I thought I would send it out for free as a simple PDF that you can download, print and stick on your fridge. You can download the high resolution version of this by clicking on the link below. link

Pour the heated water over the tea leaves and allow them to steep for the recommended time, which should be noted somewhere on the tea’s packaging. If you’re confused, there’s a wonderful chart for temperature and steeping times right here. […]
