Quick Answer
Brew Jasmine Green Organic tea with water heated to 175°F (80°C) and steep for 2 to 3 minutes. Use 1 teaspoon of loose leaf per 8-ounce cup for a balanced, sweetly floral cup.
Why Water Temperature Matters
Jasmine green tea is a delicate green tea scented with jasmine blossoms. Boiling water can scorch the leaves, making the tea bitter and masking its sweet floral notes. Keeping the water below boiling preserves the tea's natural sweetness and aroma.
Choosing the Right Leaf Amount
The amount of loose leaf tea you use directly affects strength and flavor. Too little yields a weak, watery cup; too much can become overpowering. Start with 1 teaspoon per 8 ounces and adjust to your taste.
Step-by-Step Brewing Guide
- Heat the water: Bring fresh, filtered water to a boil, then let it cool for about 2 minutes until it reaches approximately 175°F (80°C). Avoid using boiling water directly—it will make the tea bitter.
- Measure the tea: Place 1 teaspoon of loose leaf jasmine green tea into your teapot or infuser per 8-ounce cup. Adjust the amount next time based on your strength preference.
- Pour and steep: Pour the hot water over the leaves and steep for 2 to 3 minutes. Longer steeping increases bitterness. Set a timer to avoid over-steeping.
- Strain and enjoy: Remove the leaves or infuser, and pour the tea into your cup. Enjoy the sweetly floral aroma and flavor. For a second infusion, use slightly hotter water and steep for 1–2 minutes.
