FAQ
Accessories, answered.
What tea accessories are worth buying?+
A digital scale, a timer, and a variable-temperature kettle matter most for precision. Beyond those: a tea tray for a contained steeping station, a storage tin to keep leaves away from light and moisture, and a scoop for consistent dosing.
How do you store loose-leaf tea?+
In an airtight tin or canister, away from heat, light, and strong odors. Avoid the fridge—condensation degrades dry leaves. Most teas hold well for 12–18 months in proper storage; pu-erh and white tea can age much longer.
What is a tea scoop used for?+
Consistent dosing. A standard scoop holds roughly 2 grams of loose leaf, which is the right amount for a 6–8 oz cup for most teas. Using a scoop eliminates guesswork and makes the difference between a repeatable cup and a variable one.
How do you clean tea accessories?+
Most metal accessories rinse clean with warm water. Remove tannin staining from tins with a paste of baking soda and water, then rinse thoroughly. Wooden scoops should be hand-washed only—dishwashers will crack them.
How are tea accessories different from tea wares?+
Wares are the vessels that hold and brew the tea—pots, cups, infusers, kettles. Accessories are the supporting tools—scoops, timers, trays, tongs, storage. You can brew fine tea with few accessories; you cannot without the wares.
