Good tea starts with good water! We recommend using filtered or spring water for a superior tasting cup of tea.
Temperature
Different types of tea require different temperatures of water for steeping. Black tea, herbals, and rooibos can handle boiling water. Green tea, white tea, and oolong require cooler water so the leaves don't get scalded - resulting in bitter flavor. Follow the temperatures below.
Black Tea: 212°F
Green Tea: 160-175°F
Oolong:180-205°F
White Tea: 175°F
Herbal: 212°F
Rooibos: 212°F
Tea Leaves to Water Ratio
We recommend using 1tsp of leaves per 8oz of water. If you prefer a stronger cup of tea, add more tea leaves.
Steep Time
We recommend that most teas steep for 3-5 minutes. Anything that has actual tea leaves (camellia sinensis) should not exceed 5 minutes as the leaves will release more tannins resulting in a bitter flavor. Herbals and rooibos don't contain actual tea leaves and can be steeped as long as you like.

The basket-style infuser has many advantages. It’s large and allows the tea leaves to open and expand - producing better flavor. It also fits many different sized mugs and teapots.
Our basket infusers are made from sturdy materials like stainless steel that stand up to repeated use and washings. Pick up one today if you love drinking large leaf teas by the mug!
The ball-style infuser is a classic that many tea lovers are familiar with. Its smaller size is advantageous for those specialty teapots and small cups - just be sure not to over fill it! This infuser is best for those who don’t mind a few stray leaves in the bottom of their cup.
Pinch ball infusers are great if you prefer to skip a teaspoon for measuring - just squeeze the pincher and scoop the tea with the infuser itself. It’s a simple and classic infuser option.
Tea filters are by far the most convenient option. Skip the dishes and make a quick cup! TSacs come in many different sizes and can be heat sealed to take on the go to the office or on vacation.
Both our TSacs and Tea Pockets are a biodegradable option that don’t contain any chlorine or bleach. Keep a box on hand for a quick and easy tea making experience!
Fun and quirky style doesn’t stop when it comes to teaware! Find a piece that is as unique and fun as you are! Or send an unforgettable gift to someone you love. Enjoy the process of making a cup of tea as much as you enjoy drinking it!
]]>Skip the dishes and use a TSac instead! These paper tea filters are a great way to enjoy the loose leaf teas you love in a quick and convenient way.
From single cup to a gallon of sun tea, we have sizes to cover all your brewing needs. Size 2 is our most popular! It accommodates 2-4 teaspoons of loose tea and gives large leaf teas, like oolong, room to expand.
Use tea filters to prep your own tea bags! They’re heat sealable so you can take your favorite loose leaf teas on the go with you. And when you’re done brewing, you can throw the bags into the compost bin because these TSacs are never made from bleached or chlorine-treated materials.
Taste the difference and enjoy the convenience!
