How to Use

Hot Tea
Put one teabag into 500 – 700mL (16.9 – 23.6 fl oz.) of boiled water, and steep for more than 5 minutes with low heat. If you prefer a lighter taste, then remove the teabag from the water before drinking. Keeping the teabag in the pot longer makes it even more flavourful!

Iced Tea
Follow the same instructions as with the hot tea above, and allow it to cool to room temperature. Transfer to a closed container and keep it in the refrigerator. Or put one tea bag into a pitcher, and pour in 600-800mL (20.3 – 27 fl oz.) of water. Keep it in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.

Teapot
Put the teabag into a teapot, and pour in the desired amount of boiled water. Adjust steeping time depending upon desired strength.
