The Perfect Brew: How to Make the Best Cup of Tea

Brewing a perfect cup of tea is an art, and every detail matters, from the water you use to the steeping time. At Tea Club Beirut, we believe that tea is more than just a drink; it's an experience.

Follow these simple steps to bring out the best flavors in every sip.

1. Start with Fresh, Filtered Water

The foundation of a great cup of tea is the water. Always use fresh, filtered water to avoid impurities that can affect the taste.

2. Measure the Right Amount

Use 1 teaspoon of loose tea per cup (250ml) for a well-balanced brew.

3. Heat Water to the Right Temperature

Different types of tea require different temperatures to unlock their full aroma and flavor:

Green Tea: 70-80°C

Black & Herbal Tea: 95-100°C

4. Steep for the Perfect Duration

Pour the hot water over the tea leaves, cover your cup or teapot with a lid to keep the heat in, and let it steep:

Green Tea: 2 - 3 minutes

Black Tea: 3 - 5 minutes

Herbal Tea: 5 - 7 minutes

5. Remove the Leaves & Enjoy

Once the steeping time is up, remove the leaves to prevent over-extraction. Sip and enjoy your tea at its best. Santé!

Pro Tip: Avoid Bitterness

For a stronger brew, use more tea leaves instead of steeping longer to keep the flavors smooth and balanced.

Brewing tea is a simple yet mindful ritual. Whether you prefer the delicate notes of green tea, the bold richness of black tea, or the soothing qualities of herbal blends, following these steps ensures a consistently delicious cup every time.
