Cuppa Chronicles

Tea is more than just a beverage; it’s a soulful experience that deserves to be savored. At Wissotzky, we meticulously craft exceptional tea blends, imbuing each sip with a harmonious bouquet of aromas and flavors that transport you to a world of pure bliss. Join us as we embark on a journey to unlock the art of brewing the perfect cup, elevating your tea ritual to new heights.

Black Tea: A Bold and Luxurious Embrace

Steeping Instructions:

1. Bring fresh, filtered water to a rolling boil (around 200-212°F or 93-100°C).
2. Place your tea bag into a cup or mug.
3. Pour the hot water over the tea bag, allowing the leaves to unfurl and release their rich, full-bodied essence. Steep for 3-5 minutes, tailoring the time to your personal taste preferences.

Tips for Excellence:

  • Resist the temptation to over-steep, lest bitterness tarnish the cup’s character.
  • Enhance the experience with a splash of milk or a slice of lemon, unlocking new layers of depth and vibrancy.
Herbal Tea: A Fragrant Symphony of Caffeine-Free Bliss

Steeping Instructions:

1. Bring fresh water to a gentle boil.
2. Pour the water over your tea bag.
3. Allow it to steep for 5-7 minutes to extract the herbs’ vibrant flavors and soothing properties.

Tips for Excellence:

  • Extend the steeping time, if desired, to fully unlock the herbs’ aromatic qualities and reveal their deepest secrets.
  • Customize your experience by adding a drizzle of honey, a fragrant cinnamon stick, or a zesty slice of citrus, creating a delightful twist tailored to your palate.
Green Tea: Embracing Nature’s Elegant Serenity

Steeping Instructions:

1. Heat water to approximately 175-180°F (80-82°C), preserving the delicate flavors and health benefits that green tea holds dear.
2. Gently place your green tea bag into a cup, ready to receive nature’s gift.
3. Pour the heated water over the tea bag, allowing it to steep for 2-3 minutes, unveiling a delicate and refreshing brew that soothes the soul.

Tips for Excellence:

  • Ensure water temperature is not too hot to prevent bitterness.
  • Experiment with steeping times to discover your preferred strength of flavor.

Mastering the art of brewing tea with tea bags transcends mere steeping; it’s a ritual that honors the tea’s essence and embraces the mindful act of tea-drinking. With these simple steps and a reverent approach, indulge in a delightful cuppa that transcends expectations, transporting you to a realm of pure bliss with every sip.
