Hot, Iced & Herbal Tea Recipes for Every Mood

Tea is wonderfully versatile soothing when you need calm, refreshing when you need a lift. Our collection runs from timeless classics like Earl Grey and Black Tea to modern, crave-worthy options such as Thai Tea and Bubble Tea. There are gentle herbal brews like Lemon Balm Tea for winding down, and cool, slow-steeped Cold Brew Tea for hot days. Whatever the season or mood, there’s a cup here to match it.

How to Brew the Perfect Cup of Tea

Great tea comes down to temperature and timing. Delicate green teas prefer cooler water, around 70–80°C, while black and herbal teas like it near boiling. Steep for the right amount of time usually 2–3 minutes for green and 3–5 for black and remove the leaves promptly to avoid bitterness. For iced versions, brew a little stronger to allow for the ice melting, and sweeten while the tea is still warm so it dissolves evenly.
