Step 2: Steep the Tea

To be true to the brew, steep Western teas in glass or ceramic, Asian teas in ceramic or enamel.


Add the tea leaves to the warmed steeping pot (one teaspoon per cup, plus one "for the pot"). Immediately pour the just boiled water over the loose leaves; cover the pot.

If available, place the tea cozy over the pot. This will keep the pot warm during the steeping, which helps extract as much flavor as possible. A thick towel, while not as traditional, will do as well.

Steep three to five minutes for most teas; longer, to taste, for the more delicate green and herbal infusions.
