Sri Lankan Tea Tasting Pack Brewing Chest
- Water Temperature: Begin by heating fresh, filtered water to approximately 95°C (203°F). Avoid boiling as overheated water can detract from the tea’s nuanced flavours.
- Tea Quantity: Use one teaspoon (approximately 2 grams) of tea per 200ml cup. When preparing a larger pot, adjust the quantity accordingly to maintain a balanced infusion.
- Steeping Time: Steep the teas for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your preference for a lighter or stronger brew. Start with shorter times to appreciate the delicate aromas and gradually extend for bolder flavours.

If preferred, a dash of milk or a hint of honey can enhance the complexity. Pair with delicate foods that complement the teas’ profiles, such as buttery scones or mild cheeses.
