Brewing Tips

Water Temperature

Brewing at 190°F produces a softer, smoother cup with a more delicate flavor profile. The grassy and earthy notes remain subtle, creating a refined and gentle infusion.

200°F (93°C):
Brewing at 200°F encourages the vibrant blue pigments to release more quickly, resulting in a deeper color and a bolder flavor. The earthy notes become more pronounced while maintaining a pleasant smoothness.

Steeping Time

3 Minutes:
A light and approachable infusion with delicate flavor and a softer blue hue. Perfect for those who prefer a subtle tea experience that is pleasant without overwhelming the palate.

7 Minutes:
The ideal middle ground, producing a balanced cup with richer color and fuller flavor while maintaining the tea's natural smoothness and delicate character.

10 Minutes:
A deep, vibrant blue infusion with a noticeably bolder flavor. The earthy notes become more prominent, creating a more robust and visually striking cup.
