Greeen Tea Preparation
BOILING
- Never boil Green Tea.
- Boil the water not the Tea.
- Boiling the tea is cooking the tea and cooking the tea can extract bitter flavors.
- Never use a metal pot for boiling water.
- Use only ceramic, ceramic coated, earthenware, or glass tea kettles. Some also think that stainless steel is acceptable.
WATER
- Start with cold water.
- Do not use stagnant water.
- The longer the tea steeps, the stronger the tea.
- Use filtered or bottled water whenever possible.
- Let the tea steep in the water for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Run the water for a moment to clean out the water pipes.
- Water can carry the taste of metal so do not use metal pots or kettles.
- Rinse both pots and cups before using to ensure that all soap residue is gone.
TEA
- Use only top or middle tea.
- Do not stir the tea, let it steep.
- Do not use plastic or metal cups.
- Use one tea bag for every cup of tea.
- Keep the tea fresh by keeping it sealed.
- Drink the tea from a ceramic or earthenware cup.
- Squeeze out the tea bags into the pot before removing.
- Put the tea in the water only after the water stops boiling.
- Compost or throwaway the tea bags and do not put them into your cup.
