One tea bag usually is about 2g, and the shape of the tea leaves is mostly splintery. So the amount of water needs to be controlled at about 200ml. Meanwhile, the influence of water temperature on tea also needs to be paid attention.

2. Steeping Tricks

First, warming the cup with hot water, then pour boiling water into the cup, and finally put the tea bag in. In this way, tea bags and tea leaves will not be squeezed by the water column and have more room to expand.

If the tea leaves in the tea bag are too fine, the brewing time is about 2 minutes. If the shape of the tea leaves is large, the time can be slightly extended by 1 minute. The tea tastes better if you cover it with a cup lid.

If you keep the tea bag soak in the tea all the time, the taste of tea will become very bitter and astringent. And! Never use a teaspoon or any tool to extrude tea bag, which can appear astringent taste, and break the tea bag.
