How to Brew Lamington Loose Leaf Cube 100g

Quick answer

Use one teaspoon of Lamington loose leaf tea per 8 oz (240 ml) of freshly boiled water, steep for 2-4 minutes, then strain and enjoy.

Step-by-step brewing guide

1. Boil fresh water: Bring filtered water to a full boil (212°F / 100°C). Black tea needs near-boiling water to extract flavor properly. Let it sit for 10 seconds if you prefer a slightly cooler start. Don't reboil old water—it reduces oxygen and can make the tea taste flat.
2. Measure the leaves: Use 1 teaspoon (about 2-3 grams) of Lamington loose leaf tea per 8 oz (240 ml) cup. The cube packaging makes it easy to scoop without spilling. Adjust up or down for stronger or milder taste. Overcrowding the leaves can cause uneven extraction and a bitter result.
3. Pour and steep: Pour the hot water directly over the leaves in your cup, teapot, or infuser. Start a timer immediately. Steep for 2 minutes for a lighter, sweeter cup, or up to 4 minutes for a bolder, more pronounced chocolate flavor. If you forget the timer, the tea may turn bitter—set a phone alarm to avoid guessing.
4. Strain and serve: Remove the leaves by lifting the infuser or pouring through a strainer. Lamington is best enjoyed without milk to let the coconut and raspberry notes shine, but a splash of milk works if you prefer a creamier cup. Leaving the leaves in the cup will continue steeping and cause bitterness—strain promptly.
