Freshness of tea
Time does not like the best way to tea leaves, both on both fresh and dried. The fact is that essential oils have a property break over time, and this, as you understand, is poorly reflected in the taste qualities of the product. Buying tea, count it no more than two years, and be sure to keep it in a dry place.

Good water
Water for welding tea is almost more important than tea itself. It is clear that water from the tap is not the best option. At a minimum, you must skip the water through the filter, and the best use of bottled water without the content of heavy metals.
Water temperature
Continuing the topic of water: in second place after water quality costs its temperature. We all say that boiling water must be reduced to get rid of harmful bacteria. Only here boiling water will not be better reflected in your tea.
For brewing of black tea, water is needed by a temperature of 90 degrees, but green tea will not tolerate 75 degrees. So wait the moments three after boiling the kettle and only then pour leaves or sachets.
Do not pour too much
Norm for welding: 1.5 spoons for green tea and 1 teaspoon for black tea. Dark tea will dry much longer than green, so its compactness is higher. Lovers of strong teas can increase the number of tea, but the time of insteading the same.
