Tea Tips for brewing the perfect cup
-
Freshness is essential. Tea’s enemies are light, heat, strong odors, air, and moisture. Store tea in a tight-sealing, opaque container.
-
Use filtered or bottled water. While your kettle heats, warm your teapot & cups with hot water.
-
Water temperature matters. Use boiling water (212 F) for black teas, water at 180 -195 F for oolongs, and 160-180F for greens & whites.
-
For the quantity of tea use a teaspoon if the leaf is small and dense like most blacks & greens; if the leaf is large and wiry like oolongs & whites, use two teaspoons. Measure tea directly into the pot or a roomy infuser basket.
-
Brewing time varies according to the tea type. Generally, the smaller the leaf, the shorter the brewing time. Try steeping green teas 3-5 minutes, black teas 3- 4 minutes, white teas 5 minutes, and oolongs 5- 7 minutes. Swirl the pot before pouring. To prevent over steeping and bitterness, pour off the tea or remove the leaves.
-
Some teas, oolongs for example, are good for several infusions. Add more hot water, increasing the steep time with each subsequent infusion.
-
All tea has less caffeine per cup that coffee. Green tea has less than oolong, which has less than black does. White tea has the least amount of caffeine.
