Quick Answer

Brew blueberry green tea with water at 175°F (80°C) for 2-3 minutes to balance the berry sweetness and the green tea's body without bitterness.

Why Water Temperature Matters

Green tea is delicate. Boiling water will scorch the leaves, releasing bitter tannins that overpower the blueberry flavor. A lower temperature preserves the tea's natural sweetness and lets the fruit notes shine.

Hot vs. Iced: Choose Your Cup

This tea works beautifully both ways. For hot tea, steep and serve immediately. For iced tea, double the leaf amount and pour over a full glass of ice after steeping to chill quickly without dilution.

Step-by-Step Brewing Guide

  1. 1. Heat Fresh Water: Bring filtered water to 175°F (80°C). If you don't have a thermometer, let boiling water cool for about 60 seconds. Common mistake: Using boiling water makes the tea bitter and masks the blueberry.
  2. 2. Measure the Leaves: Use 1 heaping teaspoon (about 2-3 grams) of blueberry green tea per 8 oz (240 ml) cup. For iced tea, use 2 teaspoons. Checkpoint: Adjust leaf amount based on your desired strength, not steeping time.
  3. 3. Pour and Steep: Pour the hot water over the leaves and steep for 2-3 minutes. Start tasting at 2 minutes to avoid over-extraction. Common mistake: Steeping longer than 3 minutes turns the cup bitter and dulls the fruit flavor.
  4. 4. Strain and Serve: Remove the leaves or strain the tea into your cup. For iced tea, pour the hot tea over a glass full of ice immediately after straining. Checkpoint: If making iced tea, the ice will melt and cool the tea quickly without watering it down.

Product Spotlight

  • Blueberry Green: Blueberry hits first — ripe, juicy, and sweet. Then the green tea arrives, heartier and sweeter than you might expect, with a clean finish that keeps the cup feeling light. This layered flavor means you can adjust steeping time to emphasize either the berry or the tea, depending on your preference.
