A brewing lesson
How a good cup happens
Six small steps from tin to cup. Press the parts of the brew bench, or use the buttons in each step, and the whole lesson re-tunes to the tea you pick. Every amount, water note and time comes from Mountain Rose Herbs product pages, checked recently.

Step 1 of 6
Pick your tea
Each tea has its own amount, water and time. Pick one and the bench re-tunes: spoons, kettle, timer and cup colour all follow it. You can also press the tea tin.
Step 2 of 6
Measure
The page gives the dose for one size of cup: . Mugs are rarely that size, so scale it. Slide to your mug and watch the spoons fill.
Step 3 of 6
Heat the water
Step 4 of 6
Steep
How long each tea takes
Bars show each window from its product page on a 0 to 5 minute scale.
Step 5 of 6
Taste and adjust
Time is the dial you control. Try a shorter or longer steep and see what the product page says about it. Pressing the cup cycles through the three.
The cup on the bench moves from the light tint to the dark tint across the window. The colours are drawings to show the idea, not measurements.
Step 6 of 6
Strain and re-steep
From the bench
