Brewing loose-leaf herbal tea is more than making a drink it's creating a moment to slow down. With just a few simple steps, you can enjoy the full flavor, aroma, and beauty of every botanical blend.
Here’s how to make the perfect cup.
Step 1: Heat Your Water
Bring water to a gentle boil, then let it sit for 30 seconds.
Herbal blends prefer hot water — about 200–212°F.
Step 2: Add Your Tea
Add 1 tablespoon of loose leaf tea to your French press or infuser.
(For stronger flavor, use slightly more. For lighter flavor, use slightly less.)
Step 3: Steep
Pour hot water over the herbs.
Let steep for:
5–7 minutes for light herbal blends
8–10 minutes for deeper root or floral blends
Longer steep = deeper flavor + stronger herbal infusion.
Step 4: Press or Strain
Press down the French press slowly or strain into your favorite mug.
Take a breath.
Sip slowly.
This is your ritual.
Pro Tips from Infuse & Bloom
• Herbal tea does not turn bitter easily — longer steeping is okay
• Cover your mug while steeping to keep essential oils in
• Many blends can be re-steeped once
• For iced tea, brew double strength and pour over ice
Make It a Ritual
Tea is more than hydration.
It is pause.
It is grounding.
It is daily self-connection.
Light a candle. Step outside. Journal. Or simply sit.
You don’t need a complicated routine.
Just a cup.
