Best Keurig Settings for Tea Pods

How to brew Teavity organic tea pods for clearer flavor. Machine models differ, so use these as starting points.

Quick start

Use fresh filtered water in the reservoir.
Run a hot-water-only cycle if the last brew was coffee.
Insert the Teavity pod and close the brew head fully.
Start with an 8 oz cup size for most green and black teas.
Taste, then adjust larger for milder cups or smaller for stronger.

Suggested cup sizes

Green tea: 6–8 oz for brighter flavor.
Black tea / chai / Earl Grey: 8–10 oz.
Herbal / caffeine-free: 8–12 oz; herbs can take a fuller cup.
Yerba mate: 6–8 oz if you want a stronger cup.

Iced tea method

Brew on a strong/small setting over a cup of ice, or brew hot and chill. Do not over-dilute on the largest cup size if you want bold iced tea.

Start with the Variety Pack Caffeine chart

FAQ

Why does my tea taste weak?

Try a smaller cup size, descale if due, and avoid brewing immediately after coffee without a water rinse.

Can I rebrew the same pod?

Not recommended. Flavor and strength drop sharply on a second brew.
