Loose leaf tea brewer

Preparing the perfect cup of tea is a process to be savored. Watch how the traditional elements harmoniously come together – Water, Fire, Leaves and Infusion - to make the perfect cup. This is what we call the Mighty Leaf signature multi-sensory (sensory mélange) tea experience. Come share with us and learn how to get infused.

Water

The quality of tea is affected by the quality of water used to prepare it. Using filtered or bottled water is best. If possible, avoid brewing tea with tap, distilled or mineral water. Never over-boiling water, as it results in flat-tasting tea.

Preheated Pot

A warm teapot will maintain the requisite temperature for superior tasting tea. While the water is heating pour hot water into your teapot and cups, let sit and then drain completely.

Tea Pouches

Slowly open up our specially created, handcrafted tea pouches and enjoy the aroma of fresh whole tea leaves. Whether black, green or herbal, use one Mighty Leaf tea pouch per cup or 12 ounces of water.

Whole Loose Leaf

Prepare Mighty Leaf loose teas using a teapot with infuser, paper tea sachet, infuser or traditional brewing methods. Try to avoid using small tea balls, as the leaves have less room to unfurl and develop their full flavor. Depending upon the tea type, use one teaspoons or one tablespoon per 12 ounces or cup of water. Many of our teas are good for multiple infusions such as the oolongs. Simply add more hot water to the leaves and increase infusion times.
