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:

    • Black tea: Boiling (212°F or 100°C)

    • White tea: 170°F (77°C)

    • Herbal tea: Boiling (212°F or 100°C)

    • Green tea: 2-3 minutes

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