Brewing Guide: Perfect Your Tea Base
Brewing great tea doesn’t need to be complicated. This simple guide covers the basics so you can craft black, green, and oolong teas with ease and consistency.
| Type of Tea | Water Ratio | Temperature | Brewing Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Black Tea | 3g tea to 250ml water | 90 to 95°C | 3 to 5 minutes |
| Green Tea | 2g tea to 250ml water | 75 to 80°C | 2 to 3 minutes |
| Oolong Tea | 3g tea to 250ml water | 85 to 90°C | 4 to 6 minutes |
For best results, always start with fresh, filtered water and be mindful of your steeping times to avoid bitterness. Green teas brew into light, floral cups, black teas create bold bases perfect for milk teas, and oolong teas offer a smooth, complex flavor ideal for specialty recipes.
