These are general category-level recommendations. Final product-specific brewing instructions should always take priority.
Different tea types respond differently to heat and brewing time. Use this guide as a starting point and follow the final product instructions when available.
Small Changes Can Transform the Cup
Tea can taste very different depending on the water temperature, brewing time and quantity used.
Water that is too hot may make delicate green tea bitter. Brewing milk chai for too little time may result in a weak cup. Herbal and ingredient-led blends often need more time to release their aroma and character.
The goal is not to follow one rigid formula. Start with the right method and then adjust it to your preference.
Temperature
Heat affects how quickly flavour, aroma and bitterness are released.
Time
Shorter or longer brewing changes strength, balance and mouthfeel.
Quantity
The amount of tea used determines how concentrated or delicate the final cup becomes.
