The Perfect Cup: Tea Brewing Techniques

Brewing a great cup of tea is an art, and each type needs specific steps to get its best taste. Here are some basic rules to make sure your tea tastes amazing:

• Water Temperature: Different teas need different water temperatures. Green and white teas are delicate and should be brewed with water just below boiling, around 80°C for white tea and 85°C for green tea. Black teas and herbal teas taste best with boiling water, around 95°C.
• Steeping Time: How long you steep your tea depends on what kind it is. Green teas usually steep for 2-3 minutes, while black teas and herbal teas need 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to steep for too long, this can make your tea bitter.
• Proper Storage: Keep your tea fresh by storing it in airtight containers away from heat, light, and moisture. This helps your tea preserve its flavor and aroma over time.
• Experimentation: Feel free to try different brewing times and tea-to-water ratios to find your perfect cup. Tea tastes vary from person to person, so playing around with how you brew can help you find what you like best.
