Steeping Variables That Change Everything
Water temperature and steeping duration are the two most influential factors in herbal tea preparation. Delicate petals release flavor quickly at lower temperatures, while woody roots and bark require extended contact with hotter water.
We recommend using filtered water and pre-warming your teapot or cup to maintain consistent temperature throughout the steeping process. These tips are shared for general informational purposes.

Standard Ingredient Ratios
Single-Serve (250 ml)
Use 2–3 grams of dried herbal blend per cup. Adjust upward for roots and bark, downward for concentrated spices.
Pot Batch (1 litre)
Multiply single-serve ratios by four. Add ingredients to cold water and bring to temperature gradually for root-based blends.
Cold Infusion (overnight)
Double the dry weight and steep in refrigerated filtered water for 8–12 hours. Ideal for delicate flowers and soft herbs.
Concentrated Base
Prepare a strong decoction at half the usual water volume. Dilute with hot water or milk alternative when serving.
