Getting Tea Steeping Times Right

I noticed the other day on a package of lower end tea that it recommended a steep time of 8 minutes. That's a lot more than the 3-4 minutes on our black teas.

Similarly, my dad sampled Up North and said that it was way too strong. When asked how long he steeped it, he said maybe 12 minutes. That's a bit too long, sorry Dad.

Because premium teas are stronger, you don't have to steep them nearly as long. So avoid making your tea too strong by following the instructions and using a timer.

We make that easy by featuring the time and temperature in the top right corner of every package.
