What Does “Steep” Mean?
To “steep” tea is to submerge the tea in boiling water. The literal definition is to soak in water or other liquid, as to soften, cleanse, or extract some constituent. Allowing the tea to “steep” extracts the flavor from the tea leaves into the water. All tea has different steeping times, anywhere from 1 minute to 10 minutes.

We recommend starting with at least 2-4 cups a day to receive the full benefit of the tea. After you start seeing results, you can just drink least 2 cups per day.
