Brewing & Tasting Guide
I am new to Charm Villa. Which teas do you recommend?
Rose Oolong offers floral fragrance, Ruby Black Tea has natural notes of cinnamon and mint, and Oriental Beauty has honeyed and fruity notes. Choose the profile you enjoy, or explore an assortment to find a favorite.
What is the best way to brew the Goldfish Tea Bag?
Pour 150 mL (about 5 fl oz) of hot water at 95°C (203°F) into your cup. Use a clear glass cup to enjoy the goldfish's shape. Tear the package fully open at the notch and lift out the goldfish tea bag. Add the tea bag to the water. Using a teaspoon or stirrer, gently submerge the tea bag, then let it float. Steep for about 5 minutes as the tea's color deepens and the goldfish takes shape. Enjoy the fragrance, take a sip, and make a little time for yourself.
Can the tea bags be re-steeped?
Yes, our tea bags can be re-steeped. For the best experience, we recommend following our brewing instructions and enjoying the first infusion at its peak of flavor and aroma.
