1. Use Fresh, Clean Water
The taste of tea begins with the water you use. Always choose fresh, filtered, or bottled water. Avoid reheating old water or using very hard water, as this can mute the tea’s natural character. Good water lets the true flavor shine through.
2. Measure the Right Amount of Tea
For balanced tea brewing, follow the “golden ratio” of leaves to water - about 2 g per cup. Too much tea will make the brew bitter, while too little will leave it watery and weak.
3. Control the Water Temperature
Different teas respond best to different water temperatures.
Green teas do well at around 80 °C, while black, herbal, and roasted teas are best at about 90 °C.
If you don’t have a temperature-controlled kettle, simply boil the water and let it cool for 5–8 minutes before brewing.
4. Brew for No More Than 2 Minutes
For all Estradora teas, the ideal brewing time is up to 2 minutes. This ensures a smooth taste without unwanted bitterness. Whether green, black, or herbal, shorter brewing time helps preserve both flavor and aroma.
5. Re-Steep and Discover New Flavors
High-quality tea leaves can be brewed more than once. Each infusion reveals a different taste and aroma. Re-steeping 2–3 times not only makes the most of your tea but also lets you enjoy its changing flavor with every cup.
Following these steps will help you make every cup a small ritual - simple, consistent, and always delicious.
