THE BREWING KIT
By tonight, every tea in your cupboard gets brewed right — the temperature, the time, the dose.

What you'll be able to do
- Brew any of the 12 tea families from memory or a fridge chart — no more guessing between “boiling” and “hot-ish.”
- Hit the right water temperature with no thermometer, using steam and kettle cues you can see and hear.
- Diagnose a bad cup in a minute: bitter, flat or cloudy each trace back to one fixable dial.
- Store every tea so it still tastes alive months from now — and know which ones to drink first.
- Stop wasting good leaf: nothing you care about gets ruined twice the same way.
Look inside
Real pages from the PDF — not mockups.
What's inside
Each chapter ends with one thing to do.
- 01
The One-Cup Equation
The four dials — leaf, water, heat, time — and why every ruined cup is just one of them set wrong.
- 02
The Master Chart
Temperature, time and dose for all twelve families on one spread — the page this kit exists for.
- 03
Delicate Leaves
Greens, whites, yellows and matcha: why cooler and shorter wins, and the exceptions that prove it.
- 04
Robust Leaves & Mate
Blacks, oolongs, dark teas, herbals — and mate, treated the way it's actually drunk: no timer, no dose, ever.
- 05
Water, the Main Ingredient
Tap vs. filtered, the reboiling question answered honestly, and hitting temperature by eye and ear.
- 06
Teaware That Matters
The one rule (room to unfurl), vessel size vs. dose, and what you can happily skip.
- 07
Storage: The Five Enemies
Air, light, heat, moisture, smells — and which teas to drink first.
- 08
The Troubleshooting Tree
Bitter, flat or cloudy: a decision tree that ends in a fix, not a shrug.
- 09
The Kitchen Sheets
Four print-ready sheets: the master chart, temperature cues, a rescue card and cupboard labels.
Who this is for
- You just moved from teabags to loose leaf and want to stop guessing.
- You've ruined at least one tea you actually cared about.
- You own a kettle and a phone — not a thermometer, scale or gaiwan (none required).
- You'd rather have one chart on the fridge than twelve open browser tabs.
- You drink mate, tea, or both — and want a brewing guide that refuses to put a timer on mate.

Questions, answered
How do I get it?
Leave your email and confirm it from the message we send you. The confirmation opens the download page with both editions, and the same links reach your inbox — usually within minutes.
Is it really free? What's the catch?
It is. No card, no trial, no cut-down edition: it is the same PDF. You join the Sunday letter — one short email a week — and you can leave in one click, always.
Is it in English and Spanish?
Both, always — every product ships with a full English and a full Spanish edition. Same facts, same pages, in each language.
Can I print it, and will it fit my paper?
Yes — print it as many times as you like for your own use. The printable pages are laid out to fit both US Letter and A4 with no cropping, in ink-light line art.
Can I share it?
Share the page, not the file: anyone can get their own copy here, free, and the Sunday letter with it.
The tea pages already show the brewing numbers — what's new here?
The same trusted numbers, rearranged: every family on one printable chart instead of one tea per screen, plus what the tea pages don't teach — water, teaware, storage, no-thermometer cues and a troubleshooting tree.
Does it cover my tea?
The charts cover all twelve families in our catalog — black, green, matcha, white, yellow, oolong, pu-erh, hei-cha, rooibos, herbal, chai and mate — with the notable exceptions called out by name. If it's brewed in hot water, its family is in here, and mate gets its own honest treatment.
Do I need a thermometer or a scale?
No. One chapter is a visual-and-sound temperature guide — steam and kettle cues — and every dose is also given in spoons. If you own a thermometer, great: the exact numbers are there too.
How does it handle mate?
Honestly. Mate has no steep time and no per-cup dose — you fill the gourd to taste, pour water well below the boil, and drink as you refill. We give mate a water temperature and technique, never a timer. Any guide that gives mate minutes made it up.
Leave your email. The PDF is on its way.
