Brewing Kit

(Note - currently out of stock ... re-stocking soon)

An ingenious and inxpensive way to get the best out our your loose-leaf teas. The Bredemeijer tea filter is just about the quickest way to infuse your tea and definitively the easiest bit of kit to clean.

Add your tea in the filter and stand it into your cup of hot water (the flat brim will conveniently sit on the rim of your cup/mug).

Once your tea has brewed simply remove the infuser and  stand it on the upturned lid, which now doubles as a coaster. That's what we call "double-Dutch" ... clever people, those Neverminders!

Simply tap out the leaves in your compost bin and rinse the diffuser and lid under the tap or put in the microwave.

• Rin’s Serving Tips:
  • Use 60g ground coffee per litre of water – (for 400ml water you’ll need 24g of coffee )
  • Grind your coffee fairly finely – you should feel the grinds between your fingers but it should be just slightly coarser than an espresso grind but finer than for a Chemex
  • Wet the filter paper and warm the cup with hot water, then discard. Place the coffee in the centre of the paper cone.
  • Put your cup and Hario Dripper on a set of scales and tare (zero). Pour 80g of water over the coffee (without touching the paper) so that it “blooms” – this just allows the grinds to get wet and expand, freeing the coffee solids within the grind. The best way to do this accurately is with a Hario Buono kettle. Leave for 30 secs
  • Pour the rest of water slowly into the cone aiming for the coffee rather than the paper
  • Try to aim for about 2 ½ minutes for the full amount of water to drip through. Adjust your grind accordingly. You’ll get it spot on as you practise more

We're continuing our commitment to supporting local artisans with our new range of hand-thrown cups, which are made by the very nimbly fingered Rebecca Callis, who's based down the road in Kendal.

Each cup is subtly hand-stamped on the base with our logo. They're fired at 1240°C in a gorgeous light green oxide and finished in a glaze which Rebecca has developed herself.

This 7oz cup is perfect for flat white drinks and we've made the cup slightly larger than usual so you can get a great cappuccino or latte in there too!

 

Also ideal for one of our loose-leaf tea drinks.
