To brew a perfect cup of tea, start with the best tasting water, preferably fresh spring water. If using tap water, run the water through a filter to remove chlorine. Heat cold water to a boil and no longer. Boiling the water too long will remove the oxygen and make the water "flat" tasting. Remove from heat and pour the hot water into your cup, over the one tablespoon of loose tea in an infuser. Cover and let seep for 5 to 7 minutes. Remove infuser with the tea . Enjoy the aroma before sipping. Relax while drinking your tea to get the most benefits from the tea's medicinal properties.
