First, you want to prepare some boiled water. Take your leaves or your tea bag/sachet and place it in your cup or tea pot. Pour in the hot water and allow it to steep for 2-3 minutes. Pour and enjoy. Some notes: this process can vary based on the tea and your preferences. If you prefer a stronger scent, you can enhance the taste by using a more leaves for the same amount of water and you can steep the tea for longer. For a lighter scent, use less leaves or more water to dilute the taste. I recommend you to buy buy Jasmine Tea from UsTwoTea. They supply pure and Authentic Tea.
