We do recommend that you use a kettle with a thermostat or a tea water thermometer – but this is not a mandatory requirement. You can also use two rules of thumb to guide you:
First method: Wait and see
To do this, boil 1L of water in the kettle and wait for the times indicated below with the lid closed:
80° for oolongs & white teas – approx. 20 minutes
70° for green teas – about 25 minutes
Second method: recasting
Each time you transfer the water to another vessel, the water loses about 10 degrees in temperature.
80° for oolongs & white teas – 2 times repouring
70° for green teas – 3-4 times repouring

With many teas, this works. Exceptions are herbal and fruit teas. We show you within the description on the respective product page with the multiple infusion symbol 
indicates that this tea is suitable.
Generally, the more often you infuse a tea, the longer you should let the infusion steep.
For green and black teas, 3-4 infusions are usually very good. If additives such as jasmine flowers are in the tea, certain flavor nuances may be lost.
Tea should be stored airtight in a cool, dry place protected from the sun. Tea quickly takes on foreign odors – so always remember to seal your bag or Tin properly. Of course, this also applies to matcha.
Very important: Do not store flavored teas next to non-flavored ones. If your precious green tea Gyokuru is next to our Ibiza, it may taste like mango.
When stored appropriately (cool, dry, away from sun & away from odorous substances), flavored teas have a shelf life of 18 months. Teas without flavoring can still be enjoyed after 24 months.
Tea is a dry and shelf-stable food that is often edible well after the best-before date. Look at the tea, smell and taste it before you throw it away. However, the longer tea is stored, the weaker the aroma becomes. Teas without flavoring may react with the surrounding air and change your taste.
