Quick Answer

Steep Feel Better Blend at 208°F for 5-7 minutes using 1 teaspoon of loose leaf per 8 oz of water for a comforting, wellness-focused cup.

Why Brewing Method Matters for Wellness Teas

Herbal blends like Feel Better Blend rely on proper extraction to release their beneficial compounds. Too short a steep and you miss the full flavor and potential wellness support; too long and the cup can become bitter or overly strong. Finding the right balance ensures you get the most from each brew.

Feel Better Blend combines traditional Ayurvedic and Western herbs, so a slightly hotter water temperature (near boiling) and a longer steep time help draw out the citrus and spicy notes while supporting the blend's intended calming and enlivening effects.

Choosing the Right Water and Equipment

Use fresh, filtered water for the best taste. Tap water with chlorine or minerals can mask the delicate citrus and spice flavors of Feel Better Blend.

A simple teapot with a built-in infuser or a separate mesh strainer works well. If you have a variable-temperature kettle, set it to 208°F. No kettle? Bring water to a full boil, then let it sit for 30 seconds before pouring.

Step-by-Step Brewing Guide

  1. Boil Fresh Water: Bring filtered water to a boil (212°F) or use a variable-temperature kettle set to 208°F. Let it sit for 30 seconds after boiling if you don't have a thermometer. Using water that is too cool will under-extract the herbs, leading to a weak cup.
  2. Measure the Tea: Use 1 teaspoon of Feel Better Blend loose leaf tea per 8 oz of water. For a stronger cup, use 1.5 teaspoons, but avoid exceeding 2 teaspoons to prevent bitterness. Overcrowding the infuser can restrict water flow and reduce extraction.
  3. Pour and Steep: Pour the hot water over the tea leaves in your infuser or teapot. Cover and steep for 5-7 minutes. Set a timer to avoid over-steeping. Steeping longer than 7 minutes can make the tea taste overly strong or astringent.
  4. Remove the Leaves: Remove the infuser or strain the tea into your cup. Do not squeeze the leaves, as this can release bitter tannins. Leaving the leaves in the water will continue to steep and can ruin the flavor.
  5. Enjoy Mindfully: Sip slowly and take a moment to appreciate the citrus and spicy aroma. For added comfort, you can add a small drizzle of honey or a slice of lemon. Adding sweetener or citrus is optional—taste the tea first to enjoy its natural character.
