Step 2: Add hot water and wait for it to steep. It is also important that if you happen to have two french press coffee makers, that you use one for tea and one for coffee. The oils in coffee can leave residue on your french press which could affect the taste of the tea. See the chart below for the correct steep time for each different type of tea.
