All tea comes from the same plant, but not all teas are the same! How is it possible that a single plant can produce so many different types of tea? The differences is how each tea is harvested and processed, giving each tea its unique look, aroma, and flavour profile.
Steeping tea for too long, or with the incorrect water temperature can yield to a bitter tasting cup. Freshly boiled water may be great for a cup of black tea, but the high temperature can burn the delicate leaves of your favourite green tea. If you're serious about your tea and want to learn how to steep the perfect cup every time, then be sure to follow our steeping guide!
