As you may have noticed, the labels we give you have a temperature printed on them. You may have wondered how to get your boiled water down to this temperature as well. Well wonder no more!
Boiled water comes out at around 212F and most of our teas require the temperature to be less than that.

- Mates, rooibos, and herbals are all fine to use with boiled water unless otherwise stated (If it says 208, boiled water is fine)
- Black teas recommended temperature is anywhere between 195 and 205
- Oolong teas are recommended at 195
- Blooming teas are recommended at 180
- Green and whites are the same at 175
To get your teas to the right temperature, all you need is ice. There's four types we've heard about: cubed ice (1), semi-circles (picture not found), squares (2), and half-oval/crescents (3). If you use a different type of ice, let us know and we'll edit the list accordingly!
This guide is for around 16 ounces of boiled water, if you know you're using more/less, add more/less accordingly!
1. For ice cubes, you need 1-3 for black teas, 3 for oolong, 4 for blooming, and 4-5 for white.
2. For half-circles and squares, you need 2-4 for black teas, 4 for oolong, 5-6 for blooming, and 7-8 for white.
3. For half-oval/crescents, if they're large, you need 1 for oolong and black, 2 for blooming, greens, and whites. If they're small, you need 1-2 for black, 2 for oolong, and 3 for blooming, greens, and whites.
If you have any questions/comments/concerns please leave us a note.
