Celestial Seasonings Tea – 20 bags

hrs.admin — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 15:19:01 +0000

How to Brew the Perfect Cup

At Celestial Seasonings, we consider making and drinking tea an art form that’s easy to master. Here are some tea-brewing basics to get you started.

Brewing Basics

While you’re heating the water for your next cup, be sure to think about the three basic principles of brewing tea. Have a plan before you pour.

Freshness. Try to use fresh, filtered water each time you brew. Repeatedly boiling and cooling water brings oxygen (the “O” in “H₂0”) out of solution – resulting in flat-tasting water and (eventually) tea. In addition, the taste and odor of chlorine in water masks many of tea’s subtler flavors, so filtered or spring water is the way to go if possible.
Temperature. Most types of tea call for a full, rolling boil to bring out the best aroma, flavor and benefits. The notable exceptions are green tea and white tea, which taste best when cooler water (around 190 F) is used.
Steeping time. The most common brewing mistake is over-steeping, which can bring out off flavors and increase bitterness. Keep a timer (or a timer app) handy to make sure you remove the tea bag at just the right moment.

Our Blendmaster Emeritus, Charlie Baden, recommends the following brewing instructions based on type of tea. Remember to check the box for specific instructions for the tea you’re making.

Explore the World of Tea

Tea is one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world – and yet, there’s still a lot of mystery and wonder about it.

For example, did you know that green, black and white tea all come from the same plant? It’s true – they’re all from the Camellia sinensis bush, but how they’re processed after harvest produces their very different aromas and flavors.

Here’s another one: what we call “herbal teas” are technically not ‘teas’ at all. Herbal tea contains no Camellia sinensis leaves; rather, it is made from many plants, using not just the leaves, but also the flowers, roots, bark and seeds. These brews typically contain flavorful, beneficial ingredients like chamomile, lemongrass and mint, and naturally contain no caffeine at all.

Tea Topics

Whatever kind of tea you choose to enjoy, the art of blending tea is a combination of creativity and expertise. Whether you’re an expert steeped in tea’s rich heritage or you’re new to this ancient beverage, unlock the mysteries of tea and explore these tea topics and more with us. There’s always something new to learn about tea.
