Enchan-Tea: Brew the Perfect Cup of Loose-Leaf Tea

Quick Answer

To brew the perfect cup with the Enchan-Tea infuser, use one teaspoon of loose-leaf tea per cup, heat water to the right temperature, and steep for the recommended time—then remove the infuser to avoid bitterness.

Step-by-Step Brewing Guide

1. Boil fresh water: Start with cold, fresh water and heat it to the right temperature for your tea type. Black tea needs boiling water (212°F/100°C), green tea is best at 175°F (80°C), and white tea at 185°F (85°C). Avoid using water that has been boiled twice, as it can make the tea taste flat. Check the recommended water temperature for your tea to avoid bitterness.
2. Add the right amount of tea: Measure about one teaspoon of loose-leaf tea per 8-ounce cup. If you prefer a stronger brew, add a little more tea rather than steeping longer—this prevents over-extraction and bitterness. Adjust the amount of tea, not the steeping time, to control strength.
3. Fill the infuser: Open the Enchan-Tea infuser and fill it with the measured tea leaves. Don't pack it too tightly; leave room for the leaves to expand as they steep. Overfilling can restrict water flow and result in a weak or uneven brew. Leave space in the infuser for the leaves to unfurl and release flavor.
4. Place the infuser in your cup or pot: Set the Enchan-Tea infuser into your mug or teapot, making sure it's fully submerged. If the infuser floats, it may not steep evenly—adjust the position so the leaves are completely immersed. Ensure the infuser is fully submerged for consistent flavor.
5. Pour hot water and steep: Pour the heated water over the infuser and set a timer. Steep black tea for 3-5 minutes, green tea for 2-3 minutes, and white tea for 4-5 minutes. Use a timer to avoid over-steeping, which causes bitterness. Set a timer for the recommended steeping time based on your tea type.
6. Remove the infuser and enjoy: Once the tea has reached your desired strength, lift out the Enchan-Tea infuser and set it aside. Don't leave the infuser in the cup while you drink, as the tea will continue to steep and become bitter. Remove the infuser promptly to stop the steeping process.
7. Clean the infuser after use: Rinse the Enchan-Tea infuser under warm water immediately after use to prevent tea stains. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the design. Clean the infuser right after use to keep it looking magical.
