Brewing Tip:
Brewing times vary by the type of tea. For example, Herbal tea should be brewed 4-6 minutes and green tea should be brewed for 1 minute. For a stronger cup of tea, add more tea leaves to your brew rather than steeping it beyond the recommended time. Otherwise you may produce a bitter taste in your tea.
Easy Temperature Guide:
For Black, Herbal, and Pu’erh Tea allow the water to come to a rolling boil then pour over tea leaves
For Oolong Tea, let the boiled water cool down for 1 minute before pouring over tea leaves
For Green and White Tea, let boiled water cool approximately 2 minutes before pouring over tea leaves
Brewing temperatures also vary by the type of tea. White and green teas should be brewed at 175ºF, oolong and black teas should be brewed at 195ºF, and herbal teas should be brewed at 208ºF. However, make note that boiling for extended period of time reduces the amount of oxygen in the water crucial for flavor extraction. |
