We believe that your tea experience should be completely personal. Individual taste buds are unique and there is no right or wrong way to brew tea. Therefore we encourage tea lovers to not necessarily bind to traditional methods but let their experience, and discovery guide them. After all, that is where the joy of drinking tea lies. You should try different amounts of tea, steeping time, and water temperature to find the perfect taste you'll fall in love with.

Each method unlocks a different character of this tea.

Iced teas
Of course, you can! High-quality loose-leaf teas make the most refreshing iced teas—smooth, crisp, and oh-so-quenching!
While some might call it blasphemous to add sweetener/sugar to high-quality loose-leaf teas, here in Texas, where sweet iced tea is a beloved tradition, we have been using our loose-leaf to uplift the iced tea experience.
We have tried and perfected the art of turning your favorite loose-leaf tea into a delicious iced delight.
It's time to try it for yourself. Here's how we do it:
Pro tip: Feel free to experiment with water amounts, temperature, steeping time, tea quantity, and sweetener quantity to find your perfect balance.
Steep suggestions for iced teas:
Amount of Water: 2 Liters
Amount of Loose Tea: 10-12 grams (5-6 teaspoons)
Steeping Time: 15-20 minutes
Steeping Temperature: 190-200°F
| Steps to Brew Iced Tea: |
|---|
| Step 1: Start with a 2-liter batch. Boil water, then remove it from heat. Let it cool for 1-2 minutes until it's around 190-200°F. |
| Step 2: Add loose-leaf tea. Add 10 to 12 grams of your favorite loose-leaf tea OR 5 to 6 teaspoons. |
| Step 3: Steep the tea. Steep for 15-20 minutes (or longer if you prefer a stronger brew). |
| Step 4: Strain and cool. Strain the tea, then let it cool down. Add ice. (Pro tip: For best flavor, let it chill in the fridge for a few hours or overnight. Add ice when you drink.) |
| Step 5: Sweeten to taste. Add your favorite sweetener, but remember that balance is key—don’t let the sweetener overpower the tea’s flavor. (Pro tip: As you sip, let the tea linger in your mouth for a couple of seconds to fully enjoy its rich flavors.) |

Himalayan Gooseberry Lemongrass Tea is a naturally caffeine-free herbal blend that combines the tangy, fruity character of gooseberry, also known as amla, with the bright citrus aroma of lemongrass. This refreshing infusion offers a smooth balance of fruity tartness and gentle herbal notes, making it a flavorful alternative to traditional black and green teas.
Gooseberry is naturally known for its antioxidant compounds, while lemongrass contains aromatic plant compounds such as citral. Together, these botanicals create a refreshing herbal tea that can be enjoyed as part of a balanced lifestyle. This caffeine-free blend is also an excellent alternative for those who prefer to limit their caffeine intake.
To prepare a refreshing cup, bring 10 oz of filtered water to a boil (212°F). Add approximately 1 teaspoon of loose leaf Gooseberry Lemongrass Tea to your steeping cup. Pour the hot water over the blend and let it steep for 5–7 minutes. Strain and enjoy its naturally tangy, citrusy flavors. Adjust the steeping time to suit your taste.

This herbal tea offers a refreshing combination of tangy gooseberry and bright, citrusy lemongrass. Expect fruity tartness, fresh herbal aromas, and a smooth, clean finish. The balance of naturally tart and citrus-forward flavors makes it enjoyable both hot and iced.
Many people enjoy gooseberry and lemongrass herbal tea as part of their everyday tea routine. Its naturally caffeine-free composition makes it a convenient option for those who want to enjoy flavorful tea throughout the day without caffeine. As with any herbal blend, individual tolerances and dietary needs may vary.
Absolutely! 131° Himalayan Gooseberry Lemongrass Tea tastes refreshing both hot and iced. For iced tea, brew a slightly stronger infusion, allow it to cool, and pour over ice. The fruity tartness of gooseberry and bright citrus notes of lemongrass make it a delicious choice for warm afternoons.
Yes, you can try a second infusion using the same herbal blend. For the second steep, add approximately 1–2 minutes to the original brewing time. The flavor may become lighter, but you can still enjoy the remaining fruity and citrus notes.
Gooseberry Lemongrass Tea can be enjoyed as a naturally caffeine-free, low-calorie beverage when prepared without added sugar or sweeteners. It can be a flavorful replacement for sugary drinks as part of a balanced diet. However, there is no reliable evidence that this tea blend directly causes weight loss.
Gooseberry and lemongrass have histories of traditional culinary and herbal use, including in beverages enjoyed after meals. However, research has not established that this particular tea blend treats digestive problems. It can be enjoyed as a flavorful herbal infusion after meals without making medicinal claims.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare professional before regularly consuming gooseberry, lemongrass, or other concentrated herbal tea blends. Being naturally caffeine-free does not automatically mean an herbal product is safe during pregnancy.
For a flavorful cup, steep approximately 1 teaspoon of loose leaf Gooseberry Lemongrass Tea in 10 oz of freshly boiled water for 5–7 minutes. For a stronger, more pronounced flavor, extend the steeping time slightly. Brewing preferences may vary depending on the desired balance of fruity tartness and citrus notes.
