Learn how to brew Tipson's Organic Matcha Blueberry enveloped tea bags for a flavorful, antioxidant-rich cup. Step-by-step guide with tips for best results.
Quick answer
Use one enveloped tea bag per cup, steep in hot (not boiling) water for 2–3 minutes, then gently squeeze the bag before removing. Avoid over-steeping to prevent bitterness.
Why water temperature matters for matcha tea bags
Matcha is a finely ground green tea powder, so it can become bitter if steeped in boiling water. The ideal temperature is around 175°F (80°C) — just below boiling. This preserves the sweet, grassy notes and the antioxidant benefits of the matcha and blueberry combination.
The advantage of enveloped packaging
Tipson's Organic Matcha Blueberry tea comes in individually wrapped foil envelopes. This keeps each tea bag fresh and protects the delicate matcha powder from moisture and air. It also makes the tea convenient to take to work, travel, or enjoy on the go without losing quality.
Step-by-step brewing guide
- Step 1: Heat your water: Bring fresh, filtered water to a boil, then let it cool for about a minute until it reaches roughly 175°F (80°C). If you don't have a thermometer, let the kettle sit for 60 seconds after boiling. Boiling water will scorch the matcha and create a bitter taste — always let it cool first.
- Step 2: Prepare your cup and tea bag: Place one Organic Matcha Blueberry enveloped tea bag into your favorite mug. Tear the foil envelope along the notch and remove the tea bag by the string tag. Avoid touching the tea bag with wet hands — the paper can tear easily.
- Step 3: Pour and steep: Pour the hot water over the tea bag, filling the cup about 8 ounces. Let it steep for 2 to 3 minutes. For a stronger flavor, steep closer to 3 minutes; for a milder cup, remove at 2 minutes. Steeping longer than 4 minutes releases tannins that make the tea astringent — set a timer.
- Step 4: Remove and enjoy: Lift the tea bag by the string and gently squeeze it against the side of the cup with a spoon to release any remaining liquid. Discard the bag. Stir if desired and sip while warm. Squeezing too hard can push fine matcha particles through the bag, creating a gritty texture.
