ROOIBOS TEA PREPARATION
Start with a quality, fresh, loose Rooibos and fresh filtered or bottled water, do not use distilled water
Rooibos requires room to expand in order to properly steep, we do not recommend the use of tea balls
​

1. Pre-warm your tea pot and tea cup with hot water
2. Use 3/4oz / 2g of Rooibos (typically 1 teaspoon, fine blends measure less, bulky blends more) for each 8oz / 355ml of water 
3. Rooibos requires room to expand in order to properly steep, we do not recommend tea balls
4. The  recommended water temperature for Rooibos is 212F / 100C (full boil)
5. Steep for 5 minutes, less for fine teas, more for large leaf and rolled teas (refer to instructions on the bag)
6. Once steeped, separate leaves from the liquid to avoid over steeping (Rooibos is not as prone to over steeping as Camellia Sinensis tea)
