In many offices, tea matters as much as coffee. A few simple decisions make it tasty and convenient.
Tea bags are the most convenient option for the office – quick, with no leaves to clean up. Loose-leaf tea needs infusers and more effort, but it can be a nice extra for a team that values it. What matters is airtight storage and water at the right temperature for each tea.
Tea bags
A few kinds are enough: black, green, fruit, and herbal. Keep them in an organizer with compartments.
Loose-leaf tea
You need infusers or a teapot with a strainer, plus somewhere to wash them. Seal tins tightly and keep them away from coffee and spices.
Water
Green and white teas usually prefer water cooler than boiling. A kettle with temperature control helps. On devices such as a coffee vending machine (publisher's site), hot water is often a separate menu option.
