Oolong Tea: 185-205°F (85-96°C)
Black Tea: 200-212°F (93-100°C)

White Tea: 2-3 minutes

Pro Tips:

- Multiple infusions: Many quality loose leaf teas can be steeped multiple times. Simply add hot water for additional infusions.
- Reheating: If tea cools, you can safely reheat in the microwave (without metal lid).
- Visual brewing: Watch your tea develop color and strength through the clear glass to brew to your perfect preference.
Cleaning:
- Dishwasher safe for convenience
- Hand washing recommended to preserve clarity and extend life
- Rinse immediately after use to prevent tea staining
- For stubborn stains, use baking soda paste or denture cleaning tablets
