How to RE-STEEP YOUR TEA

"How many times can I re-brew my tea?" It’s a question we get asked pretty frequently, so we decided to make a video all about it!
The answer depends on many factors, and the easiest response is “until it runs out of flavor”. For most teabags and other low-grade, mass-market teas, this means only one good infusion. For premium whole leaf teas, however, we can often get upwards of five flavorful infusions, with the second and third brew usually producing the richest taste.
In this video, Alice breaks down how brew ratio, steep time, and leaf quality impact the number of times you can re-brew your leaves.

The world of brewing is fascinating. Thank you for providing information on the ratio. I came across a 1g : 15 milliliter ratio and almost had a heart attack after my session!

Thank you for the detail. Was always thinking I was wasting tea leaves after having it once.

I like gongfu style tea when hosting, and just 2 tablespoons of good white tea or golden monkey black tea leaves to resteep throughout the day in a 10-12oz cup if I'm drinking alone.

@konradhk00 3 года назад

Is it important to let the tea leaves cool down in between steeps? If you do multiple steeps in quick succession, could it have the same effect as leaving the tea in the water for too long?

@redblossomtea 3 года назад

Excellent question! Yes, to an extent. It is always best to leave the lid off of the pot or gaiwan between infusions, at least for a couple minutes, to allow the steam and heat to dissipate. Keeping the steam trapped in with the leaves can cook them and damage flavor compounds.

@konradhk00 3 года назад

@@redblossomtea thank you. This makes a lot of sense. I have a habit of doing quick resteeps without a break in between in order to fill my cha hai and figured I might be cooking my leaves a bit too much.

@redblossomtea 3 года назад

If you’re re-infusing immediately, there’s no need to leave the lid off and wait a few minutes. But if you’re savoring each infusion one at a time, we recommend leaving the lid off until you’re ready for the next brew.

@herzen1903 3 года назад

I have a question about how much time can you leave between steeps? I mean the re-steeping has to be done the same day or can be in a multi-day period of time. Greetings!

@redblossomtea 3 года назад

Hi Herzen, We recommend either finishing your tea within a day, or adding the used leaves to a pitcher of cold water for a day to create a cold brew. If you let the damp leaves sit in the brewing vessel for more than a day, there is a risk that they will start to mold. -The RBT Team

Can i drink morning off and evening off green tea

@OriginalMariAnnaWolf 6 месяцев назад

How about in cold water like iced tea?

@hartasmycketupp1839 26 дней назад

I buy loose tea from a tea boutique in Sweden. Is that premium tea? It should be of good quality. I don't really understand the difference between "everyday tea" and premium tea.

@hanschoa4418 3 года назад

Do you need to rinse the loose-leaf before drinking it or you can just steep and drink? Thanks

@redblossomtea 3 года назад

Hi Hans! We have another video about that here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bYu-onJ48kQ.html Enjoy ☺️

@singhmaster4 3 года назад

I have Olong tea. If I dry it on a paper towel away from direct sunlight, how should I store it? In a fridge or outside the fridge? And for how many days is it good for?

@redblossomtea 3 года назад

Hi there, We don’t recommend drying your tea leaves. Once infused, you should enjoy all infusions within a day, or add the lightly used leaves to a pitcher of cold water to make a cold brew. Attempting to dry your leaves to save for another time can present molding issues. Best, The RBT Team

@singhmaster4 3 года назад

@@redblossomtea Ok so because my tea shop told me I can use it for many days as long as I keep it in the fridge. I noticed that the tea did not taste as good the next day. Also is 95°F a good temp and about 1 and a half minute? I keep getting different temp and times from people.

@redblossomtea 3 года назад

Tea brewing parameters are highly personal, and can be changed based on the flavors you want to extract from your leaves. Ultimately when you get more comfortable with brewing styles, you’ll find what works best for you and develop your own ideal temperature, time, and amounts. You can find our suggestions here: redblossomtea.com/pages/brewing-guide Remember, these are just suggestions/a starting point. Every tea company has different recommendations, because these are based on personal preference.

@redblossomtea 3 года назад

Tea leaves always taste best when brewed fresh. We strongly advise that you don’t reuse or store used leaves. While premium whole leaf teas can and should be infused multiple times, you should finish enjoying your tea within a day for the best taste and to avoid any mold problems.

@singhmaster4 3 года назад

@@redblossomtea Sorry about the misspellings, I corrected them. Thanks for the info. I had some used tea few days old and it was kind of smelly. That's when I realized that storing wet leaves was a bad idea. I never liked the taste of it and even dumped my tea a few times. 😝😝😄

@michellejackson2995 Год назад

If I’m steeping the same leaves, let’s say an oolong tea, several times. With 4 grams in a Gaiwan 4 ounces of water. Short steeping like one minute. Would I be receiving still a lot of caffeine after 6 steeps. I love drinking tea. But, I know I have to watch the caffeine. What do you think?

@redblossomtea Год назад

The majority of the caffeine is released in the initial infusions, so by the sixth brew caffeine extraction is minimal. For people with caffeine sensitivity, we often recommend discarding the first brew and drinking from the second infusion onwards for this reason.

@michellejackson2995 Год назад

Thank you. I appreciate your help. I was worried I might be getting too much caffeine. I will discard too the first brew during the day when I brew a different tea. Great, you really helped me out. I know I’m new to premium loose tea. I want to be wise about it. Thanks again.☮️💟

Rush, rush, rush... For what? To gulp down something before your out on the hustle again? No wonder you feel you're missing out. Ain't got time just experience anything any more.
