What Temperature Water for Tea Should Actually Be: 90% of People Make This Mistake
We are used to the fact that tea is brewed with boiling water.
However, in reality, not all varieties of this aromatic drink can be prepared in this way.
Let's figure out in which cases boiling water is absolutely contraindicated for tea.
Why you shouldn't brew tea with boiling water
For black tea, boiling water is considered the ideal temperature for brewing the drink. However, for other types of tea, you should choose a colder liquid.
For example, it is not recommended to use boiling water to prepare green and white varieties, as there is a risk of the drink burning.
These types of tea are brewed using water whose temperature does not exceed 80 degrees. It is recommended to brew the drink for no longer than 3-4 minutes, while black tea requires 3 to 5 minutes to brew.
To obtain a drink with the perfect taste, you should use a teapot so as not to strain it separately.
