Brewing & Steeping Tea

Alright, if you are new to preparing tea an important thing for me to talk about is steeping or brewing. In this series, you'll hear me use the words steeping and brewing interchangeably. Now, what I mean by steeping or brewing your tea is you're adding hot water to the tea leaves and allowing them a certain amount of time for all of the flavor, the caffeine, the healthy antioxidants and all that is tea to escape from the leaves into the water or, you know, to join in and become defused into the water. So, that's what it is to brew a cup, a pot, of tea is simply to join it with hot water and allow the hot water to join the tea leaves and become a cup of tea. So again, that's steeping and brewing. You'll hear me saying that a whole lot. Don't get confused. It' just the process of making a cup of tea.
