How should I store my tea?
The key to a perfect cup of tea is some MentaliTEA of course! To ensure your tea stays fresh and flavourful as the day you bought it, store in a cool dry place such as the pantry and in an air tight container or re-sealable bag (like the one it came in).
If using a re-sealable bag, it is wise to expel the air prior to re-sealing, to lock in the flavour and freshness.
How much tea should I use for a cup of tea?
The ideal serve for a single cup of tea is 1 heaped teaspoon for 250ml (1 cup) water. If you prefer a stronger flavour, simply add an extra teaspoon, instead of steeping for longer.
Remember to keep your used tea leaves and re-use (for lighter taste buds you can re-use up to 3 times), making your purchase even more economical!

There is no purer and satisfying way to enjoy a moment of solitude, calm and presence than to experience the natural flavour of tea in its purest loose leaf form.
Pre-packaged tea in tea bags picked off the shelf on the other hand are convenient, however the tea can sometimes be processed to the point it becomes powder like.
