Brewing Suggestions

The table below shows the approximate brewing/infusing times for the different tea types.
It assumes around a 2.5 to 3g serving but it is not an exact science so experiment to find the perfect brew time to suit you. The tea bags contain this amount already – perfect for a tea pot or a large mug.
It is best to use freshly boiled water - so if you've got some water left in your kettle from before - pour it out and start again!
Tea Type Approx Brewing Time (mins) Water Temperature
Black 3-4 minutes 100°C
Green 2-3 minutes 80°C
Oolong 3-4 minutes 100°C
Pu-erh 3-4 minutes 100°C
White 2-3 minutes 70-80°C
Herbal 5+ minutes 100°C
Rooibos 5+ minutes 100°C
Fruit 5+ minutes 100°C

 

If you don't have a fancy kettle which heats the water to different temperatures then a tip for brewing green & white teas is to put the boiling water into the teapot or mug first and then add the tea. It will have cooled down a bit just by touching the cold teapot.

That's what I do anyway...
