Why the right tea preparation is so important

As with all fresh and high-quality foods, tea must be prepared correctly to get the best taste out of it.
Although tea preparation is much simpler than cooking food, it is still important to pay special attention to some details such as water temperature, amount of tea and water, or brewing times.

But... please don't make it too complicated! You don't always have to follow the instructions exactly. Experimentation is key!

For example, by experimenting with the amount of tea leaves and the brewing time, you can find out when the tea tastes best for you personally.

If you brew your favorite tea often, the preparation will quickly become a habit and you won't have to worry about precise water temperature and grammage anymore.

However, there are a few rules you should keep in mind:

• The larger the quantity of tea, the stronger the taste
• The longer the brewing time, the more intense the taste of the tea and the more aroma (caution: this only applies to fruit and herbal teas!)
• Green tea that brews for too long will become bitter and lose its flavor!
• The fresher the tea, the better the taste
• Different types of tea require different water temperatures (boiling water can destroy green, white, yellow teas or oolong)
• It's best to prepare fruit teas loosely in a large vessel and then pour them through a filter to get the best aroma

Tip:
There is a wide range of kettles with temperature selection available in stores, so you always have the perfect water temperature for every type of tea
