Brewing Guidelines
Heat 8 oz of filtered water to a boil. Pour water over 1.5g (about 2 tsp) tea in a teapot or a strainer set in a cup. Steep for 3 – 4 minutes.
If you prefer your tea stronger, we suggest using more tea rather than increasing the amount of time; longer steep times may impact the flavor of the tea.
If serving over ice, use more tea when brewing to avoid diluting the tea too much as it cools.
Cold Brew
Jersey Fresh Mint is extra refreshing when served cold. Rather than steeping a strong cup of tea with hot water, we recommend making this as a cold brew to avoid any bitterness. Add 32 oz (4 cups) of cool, filtered or spring water to 6 – 8 grams of tea and let it infuse for at least 4 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
Storing Tea
Keep sealed in a cool, dry place away from strong odors, moisture, and light. We do not recommend storing tea in clear containers (such as glass jars) as light can affect the shelf life of tea.
Herbal tea should be consumed within 1 - 2 years of purchase for optimal flavor.
