If you're a tea lover like Bekah, you know it’s not just a beverage—it’s a ritual. Bekah says she drinks tea about three times a day, exclusively—no coffee allowed. Today she’s sharing her exact method, using the OXO gooseneck kettle, her favorite Republic of Tea Organic Assam, a honey dispenser, and her dependable thermos, all available at BekahKates.com.
Step 1: The Kettle – OXO Adjustable-Temp Gooseneck
This kettle is the secret sauce. It heats water to 195 °F in about a minute and keeps it there until you pour. Bekah loves its precise gooseneck spout and intuitive dial display. It consistently ranks as one of the fastest and most accurate kettles on the market—great for brewing tea reliably every time (techgearlab.com). It’s the ideal base for a consistent steep.

Step 2: The Tea – Republic of Tea Organic Assam
Bekah’s tea of choice is Republic of Tea’s Organic Assam—known for its rich, malty flavor and premium quality. She uses a tea bag in her cup, preferring the controlled strength of a shorter steep. This tea is USDA-certified organic, gluten-free, Kosher, and suits daily tea drinking beautifully.

Step 3: Pour Technique & Brewing
-
Add the tea bag to your cup.
-
Pour in hot water (195 °F) to about ¾ full.
-
Top off with room temperature water to adjust strength—avoiding overly strong brews.
-
Steep for 2–3 minutes, rather than the usual 3–5, for a smoother, less astringent cup. Bekah says this gives her the ideal balance every time.
Step 4: Sweeten – Honey Dispenser with Silicone Stopper
To sweeten, Bekah uses a honey dispenser with a silicone stopper that releases just a measured dollop—no sticky mess, and perfectly sweetened every time. It’s small, practical, and clever.
Step 5: Keep It Warm – Thermos
Bekah always carries a reliable thermos from our store for her multiple daily teas—perfect for tea lovers on the go. Keeps your cup hot and ready whenever you need it.
