Slider Box Tea Gift Set: How to Brew Each Tea Perfectly

Quick answer

Brew each tea in your Slider Box Tea Gift Set at the right temperature and time: green teas at 175°F for 3 minutes, herbal teas at 212°F for 5 minutes, and black teas at 200°F for 4 minutes.

Step-by-step brewing guide for the Slider Box Tea Gift Set

1. Step 1: Heat fresh, filtered water: Use fresh, cold filtered water. Bring it to a boil, then let it cool to the correct temperature for each tea: 175°F (80°C) for green teas, 200°F (93°C) for black teas, and 212°F (100°C) for herbal teas. Checkpoint: Boiling water for green tea will scald the leaves and create a bitter taste.
2. Step 2: Warm your cup or teapot: Pour a small amount of hot water into your cup or teapot, swirl it around, then discard. This preheating step keeps the water temperature stable during steeping.
3. Step 3: Steep each tea for the correct time: Place one pyramid tea bag in your cup. For Winter Forest Green Tea and Rose Tulsi Green Tea, steep for 3 minutes. For the black tea blend, steep for 4 minutes. For Immunity Booster Herbal Tea, steep for 5 minutes. Cover the cup to retain heat. Common mistake: Over-steeping green tea beyond 3 minutes releases tannins that make it bitter.
4. Step 4: Remove the tea bag and enjoy: Gently lift the tea bag out of the water. Do not squeeze it, as that releases bitter compounds. Let the tea cool for a minute before sipping to fully appreciate the aroma.

Product facts

• Slider Box – Premium Tea Gift Set (Set of 4): The Slider Box contains 60 pyramid tea bags across 4 blends: Winter Forest Green Tea, Rose Tulsi Green Tea, Immunity Booster Herbal Tea, and a fourth black tea blend. Each blend requires a different water temperature and steep time to avoid bitterness or weak flavor, so a one-size-fits-all approach won't work.
