The Four Golden Rules for perfect hot tea
- Use a teapot & loose leaf infuser (such as the Teastick infuser sold on Naja Tea!)
- Bring fresh, cold tap water to a full boil (Note: If your water is heavily chlorinated or contains other objectionable odors, filter before boiling for best tasting tea)
- Use one teaspoon of loose leaf tea per 8 oz. cup
- Pour boiling water (just below boiling for green & white tea) over tea and steep by the clock (depending on tea) & SERVE!
Steeping Times:
Green Tea 1-2 minutes
White Tea 3-4 minutes
Black Tea 3-5 minutes
Oolong Tea 3-7 minutes
PREPARATION FOR GREEN TEA
When water comes to a boil, remove from the heat and allow to sit for ten minutes. Pour this hot water over the Green Tea and allow to brew for approximately one to three minute and serve. (Note: The brewing times may be shortened for lengthened according to your taste)
PREPARATION FOR OOLONGS & WHITE TEAS
The best thing to say when dealing with any tea is - the larger and more delicate looking the leaf, the lower the water temperature. Usually, you will want to use between 180-190 degree water for big oolongs and white teas. Black teas need much hotter water for proper extraction. Boiling water will scorch a bold leaf like white tea.
Time is a little different since oolongs will need to steep a bit longer than white tea - oolongs 5-7 minutes, white tea 3-4 minutes. Everyone should adjust time, temperature and amount of tea up and down until they find their perfect pot.
REFRESHING ICED TEA
For a single glass, proceed as for hot tea and pour over a full cup of ice (Try flavored ice cubes for a fun, delicious alternative or use agave nectar for a little sweetness).
For large quantities, prepare concentrate as follows:
- Bring one quart of cold water to a rolling boil.
- Remove from heat and add 8-10 teaspoons per quart of brewed tea as desired (use easy-fill tea filters for loose leaf tea)
- Steep 3-5 minutes and pour into tall glasses filled with ice, garnish or sweeten as desired.
