HOW TO BREW THE PERFECT CUP OF HERBAL TEA | HERBAL GOODNESS

WHAT IS FLASH BOILED WATER? 

Flash boiled water is simply letting your water boil for a second and immediately turning it off for a few minutes to cool it down to slightly below boiling point. This is the best temperature for our herbal teas so as not to burn the leaves and to preserve the most enzymes in each cup. 

WHY ARE YOUR TEAS STEEPED FOR SO LONG?

Most teas are only brewed for a few minutes or less, but we recommend you brew our herbal tea for longer to truly get the most out of each tea bag. 

Once you combine the hot water with the tea, make sure to cover the cup or pot to steep the tea. After a few minutes of steeping, it's no longer just the water acting on the herbs, but the water itself changes as the herbs are infused into it. This can affect the release of other compounds in the herbs, and also why it's so important to steep for a decent amount of time. 

By covering your tea, you're also making sure that your tea stays warm and that the tea is fully infused into the water, allowing the antioxidants and oils of the herbs stay in your cup. The higher the potency, the more health benefits you will gain from each cup.
