The optimal water temperature for brewing tea varies depending on the type of tea. In general, it is recommended to use the following temperatures:
- Green tea: approx. 75-80°C
- White tea: approx. 75-80°C
- Yellow tea: approx. 80-85°C
- Oolong tea: approx. 85-90°C
- Black tea: approx. 90-100°C
When making green tea, it is important to ensure that the water is not too hot, as this can burn the tea and give it a bitter taste. A simple way to achieve the right water temperature is to allow the water to cool for a few minutes after boiling before pouring the tea.
It should be noted that the recommended water temperature is only a guide and your own taste experience is decisive. You can always try and adjust the water temperature or infusion time until you get the taste you want.
