This document provides a guide for brewing tea with loose leaves using a French press. It recommends preheating equipment, adding 1 teaspoon of tea leaves per 8 ounce cup of water, steeping the tea for 3-6 minutes depending on the type of tea, then pressing the plunger up and down to ensure the leaves are fully steeped before enjoying the tea. The guide stresses adjusting steeping time and tea amounts to personal taste.

2. Tea Brewing General Tips Preheat Pot or cup prior to putting in tea leaves or tea bag. Use fresh clean water (reverse osmosis water best). Let water come to a full boil and pour directly over tea. Steep 3-6 minutes depending on the tea type and what strength you prefer. Adjust amount of tea (usually 1 tsp per cup) for stronger or weaker brew as well as steep time. It is worth the effort for a satisfying cup of tea.
