How do I prepare the tea optimally?
FAQ-Beitrag
It all depends on the variety. Therefore, you can find the info you need on the product page and the products themselves.
However, here are some basic tips:
The water should always be fresh. Optimally, the water has been filtered – but of course this is not a must. For temperatures, you can use the following table as a guide:
| Type | Water temperature |
|---|---|
| Black tea | 100° |
| Green tea and white tea | 70° |
| Herbal, fruit and rooibos tea | 100° |
| Oolong | 85°C-95°C |
Herbal, fruit and rooibos teas should steep for about 8 minutes, while for green and white teas and oolong, the brewing time may be reduced to about 2-5 minutes.
Tip: To influence the taste ideally for you, you can turn two screws. This is, on the one hand, the amount of tea you use for the infusion and, on the other hand, the infusion time. The more tea and the longer it brews, the more intense the flavor. However, you cannot extend the infusion time indefinitely, as green and black teas in particular will otherwise become bitter. Just take our preparation instructions for the individual items as a starting point to meet your taste better and better, bit by bit with small changes. Good luck!

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.
Sorry, this is not possible at the moment!
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
Yes! This has even been confirmed by the TÜV. The bags decompose in a natural environment within 180 days. And completely without pollutants. Super, isn’t it?
