Brew Ratio for Tea 

We typically consider 212F too hot for most black teas, particularly if you wish to highlight sweetness and more delicate aromatic tasting notes (ie. floral, fruity, etc). The compounds responsible for these flavors tend to be more volatile, so using higher temperature water will cause them to evaporate out of the tea, resulting in a flatter and less fruity taste. We recommend brewing most black teas closer to 180F for a smoother texture and more balanced and complex flavor.

@@redblossomtea Thank you! I will give this a try next time~

You’re welcome! We hope it helps 🍵🍵

Yixing Clay is not ideal for all tea styles, since it will often steal aroma from lighter or more aromatic tea styles. We typically recommend using Yixing clay for darker/bolder styles like Wuyi Oolong and Pu-erh. Yixing clay is not a flavor neutral material, meaning that it will change the taste of your tea. In general, it will slightly reduce aroma while increasing texture and finish. You can learn more about when to use Yixing Clay in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CclLP8-ncf8.html For all other tea styles, we typically recommend using a flavor neutral material like porcelain, celadon, or glass.
