Infusion time is a very important step in tea preparation .
And each tea has its specificities.
Some need time to develop their character, while for others too long a brew will make them bitter.
Here is the complete guide to how long to steep your tea:
You just need to read well to succeed:
White tea
Immerse it for 1 to 2 minutes in water between 65 and 70°C.
Yellow tea
It must be immersed for 1 to 2 minutes in water between 70 and 75°C.
Green tea
Let it infuse for 1 to 2 minutes in water between 75 and 80°C.
Ooling tea
It must stay 2 to 3 minutes in water between 80 and 95°C.
Black tea
Immerse it for 2 to 3 minutes in water at 100°C.
Herbal teas and infusions
They must remain 3 to 6 minutes in water at 100°C.
If you do not know which category your tea belongs to, it is best to consult the recommended preparation on the box.
One last bit of advice:note that the infusion is always done covered, so that the aromas do not escape.
There you go, now you know how long you need to let your tea infuse to savor all the aromas :-)
