When it comes to brewing tea, there are many different variables to consider to get the best possible flavour, from selecting the proper teaware to finding the perfect leaf-to-water ratio. One of the most important factors to consider when brewing tea is the water temperature. Different types of tea require different water temperatures to bring out their best flavours and aromas. While some teas taste best when brewed with boiling water, others should be brewed with water as low as 60 degrees Celsius. In this post, we'll help you decide what temperature water to brew your tea with.

International Tea Day is celebrated on May 21st to bring attention to issues within the tea production industry and to highlight the vulnerable situations many tea workers face. Tea pickers play a crucial role in the industry as they are responsible for plucking tea leaves from the plants. Despite their crucial role, tea pickers are often underpaid and work in difficult conditions. The tea industry is complex and lacks transparency, making it challenging to address issues faced by tea pickers. To support the improvement of their working conditions and ensure they receive fair wages, consumers must demand more transparency from large companies that influence the tea industry.
