  • Five Stars

    Absolutely worth the price! After struggling for years to find a way to make tea convenient, this is it! The concentrate idea is wonderful and so versitile for either hot or iced tea. Takes up so little space in the refrigerator compared to other methods. I got the Christmas Cherry blend and loved it so much that I immediately ordered more." - Carole D. (Deluxe Piper Brew Kit)

How to Brew Concentrated Tea:

With a Piper Press

  1. Pour 1 full muslin bag of loose leaf (35 grams) into the Piper Press.
  2. Pour hot water up to the fill line in the press (28oz). Be sure to check the blend's info for the proper water temperature!
  3. Start a timer for the blend’s steeping time and stir thoroughly. Stir every 45-60 seconds as it steeps for the best flavor extraction.
  4. When the timer ends, place the lid on your press and slowly push down the top to lower the filter screen. Then pour the concentrated tea into an empty quart jar. 
  5. Let it cool a bit before sealing the jar with a solid gold lid. Now it's ready to store in the fridge or to start making teas! 

Concentrated Tea will stay fresh in your refrigerator for up to 3 weeks!

Note:

Your concentrated tea may change color or become cloudy once it has cooled, especially blends that contain black tea. This is just fine! The color change is caused by the tannins in the tea. It is also perfectly normal if the Concentrated Tea begins to settle or separate – simply shake or stir well before using it.

Mixing Ratio: 1oz Concentrated Tea + 7oz of Water = 8oz of Piper & Leaf Tea

With a Tea Dripper

  1. Place your Piper Dripper onto the Piper Drip Stand and place a quart jar beneath it (or carefully place the Dripper directly on the jar mouth).
  2. Pour 1 full muslin bag of loose leaf (35 grams) into the Dripper.
  3. Pour 28oz of hot water over the loose leaf (should be just below the neck of the dripper). Be sure to check the blend's info for the proper water temperature!
  4. Start a timer for the blend’s steeping time and stir thoroughly. Stir every 45-60 seconds as it steeps for the best flavor extraction.
  5. When the timer ends, slowly depress the lever on your Piper Dripper and watch the Concentrated Tea flow into the jar below. Hold down the lever until all the Concentrated Tea has drained into the quart jar!
  6. Let it cool a bit before sealing the jar with a solid gold lid. Now it's ready to store in the fridge or to start making teas!
