Brewing Tea Is an Art — Here’s How to Get It Right
The difference between a good cup and a great cup often comes down to three things: water temperature, steep time, and ratio. At TeaAsha, every blend is crafted with intention — and brewing it right honors that.
Purple Tea (Pure Kenyan & Aura Blends)
- Water temp: 175–185°F (just off the boil — let it rest 2 minutes)
- Steep time: 2–3 minutes
- Ratio: 1 tsp loose leaf per 8 oz water
- Pro tip: Add more leaves for a stronger cup — never steep longer, as it can introduce bitterness
Herbal Blends (Aura Lunar, Tropical Bloom)
- Water temp: 200–212°F (full boil)
- Steep time: 5–7 minutes
- Ratio: 1–2 tsp per 8 oz water
- Pro tip: Herbal blends are caffeine-free and forgiving — a longer steep deepens the flavor without bitterness
Radiant Bloom (Hot or Cold Brew)
- Hot: 185°F · 3–4 minutes · 1 tsp per 8 oz
- Cold brew: 1–2 tsp per 8 oz cold water · Refrigerate 6–8 hours · Naturally sweet and vibrant
General Tips for Every Brew
- Use filtered water when possible — minerals in tap water can dull delicate flavors
- Warm your mug first with hot water to maintain temperature
- Store loose leaf in an airtight container away from light and moisture
- Hand-packed to order, TeaAsha blends are freshest within 12 months of purchase
