For nearly 5,000 years, Asians drank tea as an effective home cure for various health issues. Hot tea brings pleasure and healing to a person. Usually lots of novice tea drinkers are having undesirable tea time, due to the lack of awareness on how to prepare tea. Understanding the correct way can certainly increase the taste and the health benefits.

The development of tea bags during the early 1900s completely changed the tea industry. It was simpler and faster to make tea. It seriously served spreading tea to the western consumers. A lot of experts however would rather prepare tea the traditional approach using tea leaves and infuser, simply because they are generally less expensive and superior in quality. Any time preparing by the traditional way, it is vital to find the appropriate relative amount of water and tea. One teaspoon for Eight ounce is accepted to be the best ratio.

When making tea, many of us ignore the importance of water. It is significant to use clean spring water for the best taste. Making use of previously boiled left over water will degrade the flavor. There are arguments with the ideal temperature; lots of experts say the perfect temperature of water for green tea is just about 80 degrees Celsius. For black and oolong tea, the temperature can be a little bit higher. Working with a temperature gauge would help, but it will be inconvenient. A lot of Far eastern cooks determine the temperature by just observing the bubbles. 80 degrees Celsius is when small separate bubbles are developing towards the surface.

As soon as the water is prepared, now it is time for steeping. Green tea normally provides more bitter taste than black and oolong tea. For that reason soaking more than 2 minutes can be more than necessary. Most tea experts will say 2 minutes is plenty. Yet, if soaked just one minute, it may not have enough flavors. For oolong and black tea, preferred soaking time is between 3 to 5 minutes. This is simply a tip and there is not any correct or incorrect on the subject of taste. Quite a few people surprisingly love the bitterness of tea.
