Making Tea: A Simple Guide

Making tea is a simple process, but achieving the perfect cup involves a few key steps. Here's a breakdown:

1. Water: The quality of your water is crucial. Filtered water is generally recommended for the best flavor. Tap water can sometimes contain minerals or chlorine that affect the taste.

2. Heating%20the%20Water: Heat the water to the correct temperature for the type of tea you're making.

   • Black tea: Boiling (212°F or 100°C)
   • Green tea: 175°F (80°C) - avoid boiling to prevent bitterness.
   • White tea: 170°F (77°C)
   • Oolong tea: 185-205°F (85-96°C)
   • Herbal tea: Boiling (212°F or 100°C)

   • Green tea: 2-3 minutes
   • White tea: 1-3 minutes
   • Oolong tea: 3-7 minutes
   • Herbal tea: 5-7 minutes or longer (check the package instructions)
