Brew stronger, not bitter tea

Posted by Jackieww on January 7th, 2010

Crave a stronger cup of tea? Don’t make the common mistake of steeping a cup of tea longer in order to make it stronger. This is partially true, your tea will be stronger, but it will also be awfully bitter.

True teas (black, white, Oolong, Green) increase in bitterness as they are steeped beyond the producer’s specifications. Herbal teas, however, can be steeped beyond their suggested length without becoming bitter.

Add more tea to your diffuser or bag to increase the strength of black, green, white and Oolong teas.

For suggested steep times and tea descriptions see our tea guide.

Get the most flavor out of your brew by following the steps in our guide for steeping the perfect cup of tea.
