At Bubble House, we have mastered the art of brewing fine international loose leaf teas. Different types of tea require different brewing times so that we can unlock their full flavor potential, but we also must make sure the tea is not overly brewed and bitter. To guarantee that we have the best possible brew, our tea urn is heated a specific tea-brewing temperature, and we time each tea to ensure the best flavor. Here are the general times it will take for us to brew your tea to perfection:

Flavored Green Tea: 3:00~4:00
White Tea: 2:30
Oolong Tea: 4:00

Legend says that tea originated in China around the year 2700 BC. While Emperor Shen Nung was strolling through his imperial garden, a slight breeze caused some leaves to fall into a pot of simmering water he was preparing. He found the resulting brew deliciously refreshing and revitalizing, and thus tea was born.

Tea grew in popularity throughout Asia because of its good taste and medicinal properties. Monks especially embraced tea because of its ability to revitalize them during long hours of meditation.

Tea came to the west in the beginning of the 17th century. The East India Company began to import large amounts of tea to England, and thus tea also became known in the western world for its good taste and beneficial properties.
