Tools of the Trade
Before you decide on what types of tea you want to try, you’ll need to make sure you have the right tools to make them. Having the proper equipment ensures you get the best flavor and experience from each brew. At a minimum, you’ll want a good-quality kettle for heating water to the appropriate temperature, as different teas require different heat levels. A tea infuser or strainer is essential if you’re using loose-leaf tea, while a teapot can be helpful for brewing multiple cups. Preparing with the right tools will help you explore a wide variety of teas with confidence and enjoyment.
