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.

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.) |

For lemongrass black tea, use one tablespoon of loose leaf tea per 6–8 oz of hot water. Steep for about 4–6 minutes for a balanced cup. This blend can often be infused more than once, revealing fresh citrus notes with each steep.
Pure lemongrass herbal tea is naturally caffeine-free. However, lemongrass black tea blends contain naturally occurring caffeine from black tea, making them suitable for daytime enjoyment.
Many customers enjoy lemongrass black tea as a refreshing everyday tea. The combination of black tea and lemongrass creates a bright, clean flavor profile that feels lighter than traditional black teas.
Yes, lemongrass tea can be enjoyed both hot and iced. When brewed strong and served over ice, lemongrass black tea offers a crisp, citrus-forward iced tea experience that is especially popular in warmer weather.
Fresh lemongrass can be cut into small pieces and lightly crushed before adding to hot water. Simmer briefly, then strain and enjoy. Many tea drinkers also blend fresh lemongrass with black tea or herbs for added depth.
Lemongrass tea is typically steeped or lightly simmered for about 5–8 minutes. Steep time can be adjusted depending on how bold or light you prefer the flavor.
If you are pregnant or nursing, it is generally recommended to consult a healthcare professional before regularly consuming herbal teas or botanical blends.
