How do you brew herbal tea? Tips for making delicious herbal tea.
Thirsty, I open the cap of a plastic bottle.
In a hurried moment, I mechanically toss a tea bag into a cup.
Of course, these methods still provide hydration.
However, what Prism Tea values is the "time" that precedes these actions.
Prepare your favorite cup and gently take tea leaves from the tin.
Boil water and feel its warmth.
Pour hot water over the tea leaves and watch as they slowly unfurl and their color changes.
This series of actions is not just a "task."
I feel it is a "ritual" to block out the noise of daily life and re-center myself.
Herbal tea has a waiting period called "steeping time."
3 to 5 minutes until the timer rings.
Put away your phone and simply watch the herbs sway in the hot water.
I feel that this "time of doing nothing" is the most luxurious moment for us in modern times, a moment when we truly cherish ourselves.
At Prism Tea, we offer loose leaf tea, not tea bags.
This is because we want you to directly see and feel the shape and color of each herb, and the dynamic "pulse of life" the moment hot water is poured over them.
And also, because we want you to fully enjoy the aroma, taste, and vitality of the finest tea leaves carefully selected by Prism Tea.
Tea bags are convenient, but the beauty and deliciousness of tea leaves freely "jumping" and releasing their essence to the fullest can only be experienced with loose leaf.
We believe that taking that "extra step" itself is the greatest gift you can give yourself to cherish yourself.
The steam rises when you pour hot water.
Let's release the unpleasant things of the day and the excessive responsibilities you've taken on, along with that steam.
The act of brewing tea is also an act of creating space within yourself.
Without going to a special place,
the moment you pour hot water, your kitchen or desk transforms into a "sanctuary."
A carefully brewed cup is like holy water to soothe your soul.
Now, why not brew a magical cup for yourself, not for anyone else?
