Faqs
Q: Does powder make a stronger tea than cut pieces?
A: Powder can extract more quickly due to the smaller particle size, so you may prefer starting with a smaller amount and adjusting.
Q: Will it fully dissolve in water?
A: No. Like many botanical powders, it will suspend and then settle, so straining is recommended for tea.
Q: How can I reduce clumping?
A: Keep moisture out of the container and use a dry spoon. If needed, break up clumps before measuring.
