This is your official guide to making the best cup of tea. From the team who sourced and blended each tea, we share with you our personalized steeping instructions.

The Best Cup of (Firebelly) Tea.
The art of steeping is simple. Pour your tea leaves into an infuser, add hot water, and steep for the suggested amount of time.
PRO-Tip: Pre-warm your steeping vessel and your cups by swirling some hot water and then discarding it for the best results. Doing so also helps maintain the temperature of the tea.
