  3. Add 2.5 level tbsp (20 g) or 4 level scoops with the GlobalTeas™ Perfect Scoop of ChocolaTea™ to your hot water.

      Brewing Coffee

      1. Select Your Coffee: Choose from our range of gourmet coffees.
      2. Measure Your Coffee: Use 1-2 tablespoons of ground coffee per 6 oz of water.
      3. Heat the Water: Heat water to about 200°F (93°C).
      4. Brewing Method:
          • Recommendation:  A French press to achieve optimal flavor.
          • Coffee Maker: Add ground coffee to the mesh filter and brew.
          • French Press: Add coffee grounds, pour hot water, stir, steep for 4 minutes, then press and pour.
          • Pour Over: Place a stainless steel filter in the dripper, add coffee grounds, and slowly pour hot water over them in a circular motion.
          • AeroPress: 
            • Prepare your AeroPress
              • Pull the plunger and separate entirely from the immersion chamber
              • Place one stander-size paper filter into the filter cap and twist the filter cap onto the immersion chamber, making sure it is well-centered for stability.
              • Place the immersion chamber on top of your cup.
            • Measure:  Add 16-18 grams (about 4 level tablespoons) of your favorite craft coffee for every 8 oz. cup to the mesh filter basket.
            • Add Water:  Slowly pour 8 oz. boiling water to the number 4 line.
            • Steep:
              • Stir for 5 seconds to thoroughly wet the grounds.  Some coffee may drip through into your cup during this process and is okay.
              • Take the plunger and gently insert it about a half an inch into the top of the chamber, making sure the plunger is entirely past the lip of the chamber.  This will create a vacuum that will stop your brew from dripping through into your cup and allow it to steep.
              • Wait 30 seconds and then begin AeroPressing your brew by gently and steadily applying pressure to the top of the plunger.
          • Savor Your Brew: Enjoy your fresh cup of coffee black or with your favorite additions!

           

          Tips for the Best Brew

          • Use fresh, filtered or purified water for optimal flavor.
          • Experiment with steeping times and measurements to find your perfect balance.
          • Store your ChocolaTea™, coffee and tea in an airtight canister (SKU 9164 for black and SKU 9165 for matte white) and in a cool, dark place to maintain freshness.  We recommend an airtight canister.
