Making a perfect pot of Tea with Thanks to our friends at Zhi Tea
Where to begin:
To make a perfect pot of tea, start with one of your favorite loose teas. Then add cold water to your kettle and heat to the desired tempurature (see below). Fill your teapot with hot tap water to warm it. Before pouring in the hot water empty the hot tap water from the pre-warmed teapot.
Next, add approximately two teaspoons of tea leaf per 6oz cup to your infuser. Pour the water directly onto the leaves and steep the tea according to the directions below.
