Learn the best way to brew Organic Tulsi Chai from The Tea Relief Company. Simple steps for a bold, aromatic cup without bitterness.
Quick answer
To get the boldest flavor from Organic Tulsi Chai, steep one teaspoon of loose leaf in freshly boiled water for exactly 4 minutes, then strain immediately.
Why brew time matters for tulsi chai
Unlike delicate green teas, the bold Ceylon black tea and spices in Organic Tulsi Chai need hot water and enough time to fully release their flavors. Steep too short and the cup tastes weak; steep too long and the black pepper and cloves can turn harsh. The sweet spot is 4 minutes.
Steps to brew the perfect cup
- Boil fresh water: Use filtered water and bring it to a full rolling boil (212°F / 100°C). Do not use water that has been sitting in the kettle; stale water can make the tea taste flat.
- Measure the tea: Place 1 teaspoon of Organic Tulsi Chai loose leaf per 8 oz cup into your infuser or teapot. A heaping teaspoon is fine—the leaves are light. Avoid packing them down.
- Pour and steep: Pour the boiling water over the leaves and start a timer for exactly 4 minutes. Cover the cup or pot to keep the heat in. Stirring is optional; the spices will infuse on their own.
- Strain and serve: Remove the infuser or strain the tea into your cup. If you like, add a splash of milk or a sweetener like honey or maple syrup. Leaving the leaves in water will make the tea bitter. Strain completely before drinking.
