The tea ingredients are primarily sourced from a trusted raw ingredient company. However, we are working to add more locally sourced ingredients. For example, we have successfully found an ethical, local source of elderberry. The ingredients are then hand blended to create our unique flavors.

Assuming that you don't reuse a steeper of loose leaf tea... The sample size steeps about 2 [8oz] cups. The standard jar steeps about 10-15 [8oz] cups. The large jar steeps about 30 [8oz] cups.

Hot Tea (Single Serve) - Prepare hot water in a single 8 oz mug. Put 1 tsp of loose tea into a tea strainer and add the strainer to the hot water. Steep for the recommended time. Cold Brew (Pitcher) - Fill a pitcher with cold water. Place apx. 4 tsps of loose tea into a cheesecloth, coffee filter, or large natural tea bag and tie it off to use as a tea sachet. Add the sachet to the pitcher and put it in the refrigerator. Leave to steep for 8-12 hours. Remove the sachet. Store in the refrigerator after steeping is complete. *If you do not have anything to use as a sachet, you can add the tea directly to the pitcher and strain with a fine mesh cooking strainer into a separate pitcher after the steeping is complete. What about Iced Tea? If preferred, iced tea can be made as a kettleful of hot brewed tea, quickly cooled with ice. This makes iced tea much quicker to prepare than cold brew. However, we highly recommend cold brew over iced tea because cold brew tea is not watered down by ice cooling and produces a more concentrated and flavorful tea. Sun Tea (Pitcher) - Prepare a pitcher in the same manner as cold brew. But, let steep for 5-8 hours in direct sunlight instead. Move pitcher as needed to keep it in the sun. Store in the refrigerator after steeping is complete.
