How to Brew Green Tea
Brewing TipsBring eight ounces of water per desired serving to between 170-175 °F. While you wait for your water to heat, measure two teaspoons of loose tea into a teapot, tea bag, or infuser. Once your water has heated, pour it over your tea leaves, allowing it to steep for roughly two minutes, adjusting to your tastes.
Note that steep lengths with tea are, by and large, personal preference — however, many green teas tend to develop slightly astringent flavors if steeped for too long or at too hot of a temperature.
Once your tea is simply perfect, discard the used leaves. Add any sweeteners you'd like — we tend to prefer agave nectar or local honey with green tea — and enjoy!
