Something You Should Know About Me
With tea leaves, and infuser, and water, now you simply need to heat the water. If there is a trick to making great tea, water temperature is the trick. Different types of tea do better at different water temperatures. So you'll need to know what type of tea you are brewing, and then you can identify its best water temperature, and also the best length of time for steeping. We've created this handy table for your reference when brewing loose tea:
Tea type Water Temperature Steeping Time
White tea 160° 1.5 to 2 minutes
Green tea 170° 2 minutes
Oolong tea (greener) 170° 2-3 minutes
Oolong tea (darker) 190-212° 2-4 minutes
Black tea 212°(rolling boil) 3 minutes
Herbal tea 212°(rolling boil) 3-5 minutes
You can use any kitchen probe thermometer to measure the temperature of your brewing water, and once you know what the lower temperatures look like we find that most people can just monitor the water as it heats and don't need to measure much.
