How to Use The Teastick

• Slide back the sleeve
• scoop from tea tin to the fill line (perfect for 10-14oz cups) if you have a smaller cup, simply put less tea in be careful not to overfill, as tea needs room to unfurl.
• remove teastick when steeped to desired strength

Teastick Care Tips

• rinse well with soap and water
• safe for the dishwasher

Teastick Brewing Tips

The best teas to use with the teastick are whole-leaf teas of small to medium size (large leaf sizes need more room to unfurl than the teastick provides, and are best used with a teapot).

Teas of a lower grade, such as fannings and dust will steep properly, but some of the dust may come through the holes of the teastick (even though the holes are smaller than traditional teaballs).

Herbal teas vary in size and many do not absorb and grow in water the way tea leaves do. For that reason, they may need a bit longer steeping time, and some dust or finer herbals might come through the holes. Use filtered or spring water for best taste

Experiment with brewing time and water temp. for different teas

• Black Tea: app. 5 minutes just at boil (200+ degrees)
• Oolong Tea: 3-4 minutes just off boil (180+ degrees)
• Green Tea: 2-5 minutes just steaming (170+ degrees)
