Your Match
This is not a rule. It is a doorway into the Beta Tea collection: start here, then let your taste lead the next cup.
Ceylon Black Tea
A rich, full-bodied cup for mornings, milk-friendly brewing, and classic black tea drinkers.
Chosen for a strong, classic cup with enough body for a morning ritual.
Bergamot Black Tea
Smooth Ceylon black tea lifted with bergamot for a refined, aromatic tea break.
Spiced Black Tea
A deeper spiced cup with warm cardamom notes, especially good plain or with milk.
Green Tea Bags
Clean, light, and smooth for daily routines when you want a gentler tea moment.
Brew With Confidence
Your tea match is only the beginning. Water, measure, temperature, and time decide whether the cup feels thin, bitter, or beautifully balanced.
Water
Freshly drawn or filtered water gives tea a brighter, cleaner cup. Avoid reboiling the same water again and again; the result can taste flat.
Measure
Start with 1 tea bag or 1 teaspoon of loose tea for each 8 oz cup. For a teapot, add one extra teaspoon for the pot.
Finish
When the timer ends, remove the tea bag or strain the leaves. This keeps the cup smooth, aromatic, and balanced.
Beta Tea Formula
Use these as starting points, then adjust one detail at a time. More leaf brings strength; more time can bring bitterness.
| Tea | Measure | Water | Time | Beta Tip |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ceylon black tea | 1 tsp or 1 bag / 8 oz | 200-212°F | 3-5 min | Use the longer end for milk, the shorter end for a brighter plain cup. |
| Loose leaf black tea | 1 tsp per cup + 1 for pot | 200-212°F | 4-6 min | Cover the teapot while steeping to hold heat and aroma. |
| Green tea | 1 bag or 1 tsp / 8 oz | 175-185°F | 2-3 min | Let boiled water cool briefly so the cup stays smooth, not sharp. |
| Fruit & herbal tea | 1 bag / 8 oz | 212°F | 5-7 min | Herbal and fruit blends like a fuller steep to release color and aroma. |
| Iced tea | 2 bags or 2 tsp / 8 oz | Same as tea type | Brew double-strength | Pour over ice or chill after steeping. Fruit teas are especially bright cold. |
