The Zeedijk blend can be brewed mildly or strongly, depending on the desired intensity and taste preference. For a smoother taste, let the tea steep for 3-4 minutes; for a stronger taste, let the tea steep for 5-6 minutes. To make De Zeedijk melange, use about one teaspoon of loose tea per cup and add water that has just come off the boil (95°C). This way you get a perfect cup of tea, tailored to your personal preference.
