How to Brew the Perfect Cup of Loose Leaf Breakfast Tea
Loose-leaf breakfast tea delivers bold flavor and rich aroma—if you brew it right. Whether you're starting your day or need a midday pick-me-up, the right method makes all the difference. Here's a simple, step-by-step guide to getting the best out of your breakfast blends by Deipno® Tea & Spice Blends.
How to Brew the Perfect Cup of Loose Leaf Breakfast Tea
Step 1: Choose Your Tea
Start with a high-quality loose leaf blend. Breakfast teas are usually black teas, known for their strong body and malty or citrusy notes.
Looking for bold and toasty? Try a blend with Assam or Ceylon leaves. If you prefer something sweet, choose a flavored option like Cosmogony—a black tea with nougat, toffee, and almond. For floral notes, Eros & Psyche offers a rose-kissed start to the day. Craving something zesty? Erebus brings orange and citrus energy. For a smooth, fragrant profile, go with Earl Grey Bergamot.
All of these contain caffeine, so if you're sensitive to it, opt for decaf breakfast loose leaf tea.
Step 2: Measure Properly
Scoop 1 teaspoon of loose leaf tea for every 8 oz cup of water. Adjust based on how strong you like your tea. Avoid using too much—over-steeping can make it bitter.
Step 3: Use the Right Water Temperature
Boil fresh, cold water. For black tea, use water around 200°F (93°C). This temperature helps release bold flavors without damaging the leaves.
Step 4: Steep the Right Way
Pour the hot water over your tea leaves. Let the tea steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Less time gives a lighter flavor. More time draws out richness. Taste as you go.
Use a strainer or tea infuser to remove the leaves after steeping.
Step 5: Pair It Right
Pair your tea with hearty breakfast foods. A full English breakfast, buttered toast, or warm pastries go perfectly with bold black tea.
Try fruity sides like orange slices or berry jam for citrus-forward teas like Erebus. With floral teas like Eros & Psyche, opt for light pairings like vanilla scones or shortbread.
Step 6: Order the Best Blends
Don’t settle for dusty tea bags. Buy flavorful loose-leaf breakfast tea online for a real difference in taste. You’ll get more aroma, fuller flavor, and the option to choose from dozens of bold profiles.
