Archive for the ‘Tea Brewers’ Category
For almost five years now I have been what some would call a “tea fanatic.” At first I would just have a cup in the morning, but now I can’t enjoy a meal unless I end it with a cup of tea. As my tea drinking has increased, I have developed an appreciation for premium varieties and the craftsmanship that is inherent in the perfect cup of tea.
Two of the most important aspects in brewing quality tea are the temperature of the water and the brewing time. If you over seep the tea, it will likely burn and taste acidic, while under-brewing will lead to a watered down product. The easiest way to take the guessing out of the equation is with an electric tea kettle. An electric tea will heat the water up to the boiling point and then automatically turn off. If you wait one minute the water will be 190 degrees, which is the perfect tea brewing temperature that always gives you a high-quality cup of tea.
