Freshness, water quality and temperature play a vital role in taste. Store your tea in an air tight dark tin if possible in the pantry / cupboard and never in the fridge, tea leaves do not like the added moisture created by refrigeration. Black Tea and Rooibos steep at 100 degrees for 3-5 minutes. Most Herbal Teas steep at 95 degrees for 4-7 minutes Green Tea steep at 80 -85 degrees for 3 minutes
Iced Tea for 1 litre (4 cups) steep 5 bags for 6-8 minutes at 90 degrees in a large bowl then let cool down and refrigerate, consume within 4 days of making. Enjoy…..
