How to RE-STEEP YOUR TEA

"How many times can I re-brew my tea?" It’s a question we get asked pretty frequently, so we decided to make a video all about it!

The answer depends on many factors, and the easiest response is “until it runs out of flavor”. For most teabags and other low-grade, mass-market teas, this means only one good infusion. For premium whole leaf teas, however, we can often get upwards of five flavorful infusions, with the second and third brew usually producing the richest taste.

In this video, Alice breaks down how brew ratio, steep time, and leaf quality impact the number of times you can re-brew your leaves.

The world of brewing is fascinating. Thank you for providing information on the ratio. I came across a 1g : 15 milliliter ratio and almost had a heart attack after my session!

[sudhakarcv]

Thank you for the detail. Was always thinking I was wasting tea leaves after having it once.

[GusTeasPlants]

This was extremely helpful, thank you

Hello!! Im new in this and thanks for this!!!! This really help me what to do.

I like gongfu style tea when hosting, and just 2 tablespoons of good white tea or golden monkey black tea leaves to resteep throughout the day in a 10-12oz cup if I'm drinking alone.

Is it important to let the tea leaves cool down in between steeps? If you do multiple steeps in quick succession, could it have the same effect as leaving the tea in the water for too long?

[herzen]

I have a question about how much time can you leave between steeps? I mean the re-steeping has to be done the same day or can be in a multi-day period of time. Greetings!

I buy loose tea from a tea boutique in Sweden. Is that premium tea? It should be of good quality. I don't really understand the difference between "everyday tea" and premium tea.

[OriginalMariAnnaWolf]

How about in cold water like iced tea?

[hanschoa]

Do you need to rinse the loose-leaf before drinking it or you can just steep and drink? Thanks

[talarigayathri]

Can i drink morning off and evening off green tea

[michellejackson]

If I’m steeping the same leaves, let’s say an oolong tea, several times. With 4 grams in a Gaiwan 4 ounces of water. Short steeping like one minute. Would I be receiving still a lot of caffeine after 6 steeps. I love drinking tea. But, I know I have to watch the caffeine. What do you think?

[singhmaster]

I have Olong tea. If I dry it on a paper towel away from direct sunlight, how should I store it? In a fridge or outside the fridge? And for how many days is it good for?

So basically trial and error according to preference and tea I like how these things turn into 5 minute video.
